Abstract

A process for producing hydrogen by cracking of ammonia includes cracking ammonia in the presence of a catalyst to hydrogen and nitrogen, wherein the ammonia is cracked without preceding noncatalytic oxidation in the absence of an oxidant merely by supply of heat in the presence of the catalyst. In one of several alternatively possible process variants, the cracking of the ammonia is conducted in a reactor analogously to a primary reformer, wherein the catalyst is disposed in at least one tube through which ammonia flows. In the combustion chamber of the reactor, a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen is preferably combusted, where the nitrogen formed in the reaction is an inert component that serves as an additional heat carrier. A mixture of hydrogen and ammonia is advantageous since it has a moderate flame temperature, has better combustion properties than pure ammonia and, depending on the mixing ratio, emits less NOx than the two pure substances.

Abstract

A method and a system for producing synthesis gas, wherein process condensate is used to produce steam. To this end, steam is used to strip volatile impurities, in particular carbon dioxide, from the process condensate and then preferably convert the impurities together with flue gas and discharge them. Then a pH of at least 7.0 is preferably set by adding additives, the process condensate being evaporated and recycled as output steam for producing synthesis gas. In this way, it is possible to suppress the corrosive effect of the process condensate such that no, or less, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel must be used in the manufacture of the system components that come into contact with the process condensate. The steam used to strip the volatile impurities is preferably generated by heat from the synthesis gas and/or flue gas.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a steering actuator (4) for a steer-by-wire steering system (1) of a motor vehicle, said steering actuator comprising an actuator housing (41) in which an actuator rod (5) is mounted so as to be axially translationally displaceable, which actuator rod has a coaxial spindle thread (51) that engages in a spindle nut (43) that is axially supported in the actuator housing (41) and can be rotationally driven by a motor, wherein a sensor device is provided for detecting the position of the actuator rod (5) in the actuator housing (41). In order to enable a more compact design with reduced outlay, according to the invention the sensor device has a rotary sensor (7) that interacts with the spindle nut (43).
