Für die Verarbeitung von thermoplastischen Polymeren im Spritzgießprozess ist die Wahl der Werkzeugwandtemperatur entscheidend für die Formteileigenschaften und die optimale Zykluszeit. Das Spritzgießwerkzeug wird standardmäßig bei einer konstanten Werkzeugwandtemperatur betrieben, die bei speziellen Anwendungen, wie zum Beispiel die Abformung von nanostrukturierten Oberflächen, kaum eingesetzt werden kann. Dafür muss die Werkzeugwandtemperatur aktiv über die Dauer eines Spritzgießzyklus variiert werden. Für die variotherme Temperierung wird im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit eine neue Technik auf Basis einer elektrischen Widerstandsheizung entwickelt und untersucht. Ziel der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines hochdynamischen Temperaturwechsels auf einer formgebenden Werkzeugwand, unter Vorgabe der Temperaturverteilung und ohne die Maschinennebenzeit zu verlängern. Dazu werden verschiedene elektrische Heizelemente konzipiert und untersucht. / For the processing of thermoplastic polymers in an injection molding process is the choice of the cavity temperature a critical property and a shape of the optimum cycle time. The standard injection molding process with a quasi constant mold wall temperature cannot be used in the case of special applications, such as the replication of nanostructured surfaces. For this the mold wall temperature has to be varied actively over the duration of an injection molding cycle. These variothermal temperature process is within the scope of the present study especially using a new developed technique based on an electrical resistance heating device. The aim of this work is to develop a highly dynamic temperature change on an injection mold wall by a defined temperature destribution and without an extended machine idle time. Various electric heating elements are designed and tested.

New emission legislation regarding air pollution control, as instructed by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to Eskom Generation Power Stations, implies a particulate emission limit of 100 mg/Nm3 for all existing power stations by 2015 and 50 mg/Nm3 for all new and existing power stations by the year 2020. Some of Eskom’s power stations which are equipped with Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP’s) were not designed for this stringent legislation. It is also experienced that ESP’s and coal quality in Eskom have deteriorated over time, resulting in the performance of the ESP’s not meeting the legislative requirements. Eskom is in the process of introducing various ESP enhancement projects to improve performance and aligning the operating philosophy to comply with the more stringent particulate emission legislation. An ESP efficiency test was conducted at Lethabo Power Station to determine the current state of the plant and performance. The results of the test were compared with the original design base specifications to determine the relevant deficiencies which contribute to high emissions and poor ESP performance. It was aimed to develop an ESP simulation model and validate the outputs with the test data. This study endeavours to demonstrate the greater impact on ESP performance when the ESP is operated outside the design specification. It is further aimed to demonstrate that a solution to the problem of high emissions is not only contributed by the variables within the ESP itself. This study is a coal to stack evaluation considering the ESP variables and the upstream conditions of the ESP that form part of the entire process. The intention of this study is to demonstrate the importance of operating an ESP at the designed parameters and highlight the significance of proper maintenance. It was learned that before any ESP enhancement technology can be implemented, the ESP and upstream conditions must be in accordance with design specifications. The implementation of an ESP enhancement technology will have no merit or justification on a unit that is being operated outside of its design specifications. The results obtained from the ESP simulation model correlated well with the ESP efficiency test data. The expectation of the model to assist operators and engineers to operate ESP’s according to the designer’s specifications was conceded. / MIng (Mechanical Engineering), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

This work is focused on the design and realization of a station for measuring the performance of modern fuel filter heaters. The openning part of the thesis is focused on the theoretical introduction to the issue of diesel purity and the function of fuel filters. The second part includes the process of measuring station creation, including the creation of a control application in LabView. The final part is devoted to measuring of several types of filters and method verification.

Securing of electrical devices is important not only to protect against destruction under the effects of electric current, but also for protection of people or animals against electric shock. With increasing of living standards goes hand in hand increasing of the electricity consumption. Therefore In the grid of low voltage, there are increasing short-circuit currents. With improving technology is posed considerable demand on the performance, security and switching capacity of circuit breakers. This thesis is oriented on development of thermal and electromagnetic switch of circuit breaker on which is put a big demand in development of new types of circuit breakers. The thesis is interesting because of comprehensive use of circuits’ breakers since it can be used in AC and DC networks with frequency of 50 Hz and 400 Hz.
