    摘要: An apparatus and method for treating a plastic molded article. The apparatus includes a treatment chamber that can be closed and temperature-controlled. A vapor generating unit generates vapor of a treatment liquid. A fluid connection between the treatment chamber and the vapor generating unit feeds vapor to the treatment chamber and returns condensate back to the treatment chamber. A pressure equalizing device transfers waste air at atmospheric pressure and equalizes pressure with the atmospheric pressure during treatment. The pressure equalizing device retains vapor and prevents vapor from escaping into the atmosphere. A vapor phase is generated by heating a treatment liquid to its boiling point. The treatment liquid includes a solvent that dissolves or solubilizes the plastic. The article is exposed to the vapor phase for a predetermined time and removed from the vapor phase. Residual treatment liquid present on the article is removed.

    摘要: A sludge separator, in particular for a vehicle washing system, has a sedimentation tank with a side wall and a base. The tank is divided into a lower sedimentation region, an intermediate region, and an upper fluid exchange region. The sludge separator has an inlet for supplying a fluid carrying solid particles into the tank, the inlet including an end section having an inlet opening. The inlet opening is arranged in the upper fluid exchange region and opens into the tank in a horizontal plane in a peripheral region of the tank. The sludge separator also has an outlet for discharging fluid out of the tank, the outlet having an outlet opening arranged in the upper fluid exchange region. The end section is orientated such that supplied fluid flows into the tank tangentially, and the outlet opening is arranged in a central region of the tank in a horizontal plane.

    摘要: A foam generator, in particular for a motor vehicle washing installation, includes a foam generation chamber having at least one inlet for water, surfactant and gas, in particular compressed gas, and one outlet for foam, and contains a fluid-permeable bed of loose particles. The bed fills the foam generation chamber sufficiently to prevent fluidization of the bed.

    摘要: An automatic control of a vehicle washing installation in an emergency operation in the case of a fault is provided. The following method steps are carried out: detecting an error message for ascertaining a fault state of the vehicle washing installation. In response to the detected fault state: specifying function blocks, which can be activated in a fault-free manner, on the basis of a read-in equipment data set which represents the current equipping of the vehicle washing installation with machine components for computing emergency operation programs; controlling a vehicle washing installation for carrying out the emergency operation on the basis of the calculated emergency operation programs.

    摘要: A method for treating the surface of a vehicle by means of at least one rotating treatment brush. The treatment brush comprises treatment elements, the surfaces of which are brought into frictional contact with the vehicle surface during the treatment. According to the method, a reference measurement is carried out, in which the treatment brush is set in rotation and is moved into a defined position relative to a reference element, such that the surfaces of the handling elements are brought into frictional contact with the surface of the reference element, and in this case the value of the frictional force is measured directly or indirectly. During the treatment of the vehicle surface, the treatment brush is controlled as a function of the value of the frictional force measured during the reference measurement. A system for treating the surface of a vehicle by means of which this method can be carried out.

    摘要: Predicting a refill requirement for wash substances for performing a vehicle wash using a wash system for the car wash for performing the vehicle washing, wherein the control module is for providing a refill data set for predicting a refill requirement for washing substances. The control module comprises at least one measuring device for detecting current fill level data for each of the washing substances and a data link between the at least one measuring device and the control module for transmitting the detected fill level data to the control module. The control module is designed to perform a prediction function for calculating a refill data set, in which a prediction of the refill requirement is encoded, based on planning data, which represent planned vehicle washes at the washing system taking into account washing-substance-specific consumption data.

    摘要: An apparatus for treating a vehicle surface with a fluid has a rotation device pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation, and a fluid supply device disposed concentrically with respect to the rotation device and which has an inlet opening for the supply of fluid. The apparatus is characterized in that a groove is formed in the fluid supply device. The groove is fluidically connected to the inlet opening and extends in the circumferential direction with respect to the axis of rotation over a limited circumferential angle range of the fluid supply device. The rotation device has a plurality of separate fluid channels, each of which opens into openings. The openings are disposed such that irrespective of the angular position of the rotation device to the fluid supply device with respect to the axis of rotation, and at least one of the openings of the rotation device is fluidically connected to the groove of the fluid supply device.
