Siemens company

The German industry is pursuing the design of a natural gas fueled SOFC with a self-supporting structure of an electrolyte of 100 fim thickness and an area of 50 by 50 mm. Developmental steps of SOFC in the Siemens company have started with a 50 W unit in 1993, passed 370 W, 1.8 kW, 10.8 kW, and eventually reached 20 kW in 1996. The design specifications of a SOFC combined heat power plant (see Fig. 7-5) are an efficiency of > 50 %, a fuel utilization of > 90 %, a thermal cyclability of > 100 cycles, and an operational lifetime of > 40,000 hours. A 20 % pre-reforming of the natural gas fuel is required. Its construction is expected within the next 2-3 years [40]. 

S7-200 series PLC is developed and produced by Germany s Siemens Company, which is a small modular PLC with stacked structure. PLC S7-200 PLC not only has the basic control functions, but also characterized by compact structure, low cost, strong communication and network. It can be applied for simple control situation, suitable for the complex automatic monitoring and control system can also make network control system, which has the very high performance price ratio. The model number of this article chooses— CPU226 is the most advanced CPU of S7-200PLC series. (Chen 2009). 

SYNOPSIS This paper traces the work done by the Siemens Company and Its associates in the development of reactors fuelled by natural uranium and moderated by heavy water. 

In the last decade the Siemens Company has made some significant contributions towards the development of heavy water natural uranium reactors. Those efforts were rewarded by turn-key orders for two prototype reactors, viz ... 

A pre-stressed concrete pressure vessel has been under development for some 5 years by the Siemens Company, the design of which deviates In some respects from those used in Great Britain and France (ref. 2). The principle adopted by us Is particularly suited for reactors operating under very high pressures - a necessary prerequisite for water cooled types, if a high efficiency is to be attained. 

Electrical power was utilized in Italy during the 1890s. For this purpose a trust was formed by the German Siemens Company, which included the Edison company and the Dynamo company, and which was financially supported by the Deutsche Bank. Power plants, mainly hydro-electric, were built in the northern regions. The power generators, both hydro- and thermo-electric, were manufactured by the Siemens firm. In the first years of the twentieth century Edison electrical bulbs lit Italian... 

Purification presented a much greater problem. In the early 1950 s The Siemens Company developed a method based on reaction of Si with HCl to produce dichlorosilane, SiH2Cl2, an easily evaporated liquid. The dichlorosilane is fractionally distilled and subsequently reduced in a reverse reaction to produce pure Si. (See also Chapter 4.) In 1952, W.G. Pfann created the zone refining method for further reduction of impurities, which was subsequently improved to reduce handling of the material between process steps. This method was used through the 1970 s. Around that time, improvements in the initial purification process made zone refining largely unnecessary.

Companies such as United Technologies Corp. (UTC), Ballard Energy Systems, Plug Power, M-C Power, AlliedSignal, and Siemens-Westing-house have been developing fuel cell products for the commercial market and may be impacted by this trend. 

Siemens-Westinghouse Power Corporation, of Pittsburgh, PA, with a subcontract to Allison Engine Company, evaluated a pressurized solid oxide fuel cell coupled with conventional gas turbine technology without a steam plant. The system was operated at a pressure of 7 atm. The fuel cell generated 16 MW of power and the gas turbine generated 4 MW of power. The process showed 67 % efficiency as developed. An efficiency of 70 % is deemed achievable with improvement in component design. The COE is predicted to be comparable to present day alternatives. NOx levels were less than 1 ppm. 

United States Siemens-Westinghouse projects on SOFC include a 250 kWe tubular prototype at the Irvine University campus (California), that will be operated by Southern California Edison Company. It is pressurized to 3.5 bar and thus is expected to give 200 kWe a coupled microturbine gives an additional 50 kWe. The have operated a tubular SOFC at pressures up to 15 atm. 

MED is part of the global electronics leader, Siemens AG, which ranks first among the world s electronics and electrical equipment companies, with 74 billion in sales and more than 425,000 employees. 

Competition in the healthcare market was also changing. Before the nineties there were several medical equipment providers, but cost pressure and declining sales forced several competitors to close or to be acquired by the larger companies. Competition was intense during this period and three major players ultimately emerged Siemens, General Electric, and Philips. 

From 1904 to 1910 C. W. Bailee (7, 18, 55) analyzed many niobium and tantalum compounds and determined the atomic weights of both metals. In 1906 Werner von Bolton of the Siemens Halske Company...
