Array including a first and a second monolith of a structured catalyst for carrying out an endothermic reaction of a feed gas, wherein: a) the first and second monolith include a macroscopic structure of a first and second electrically conductive material; b) each of said first and second monoliths has a number of flow channels formed therein for conveying feed gas through the monoliths; c) the array includes at least a first and a second conductor electrically connected to said first and second monoliths, respectively, and to an electrical power supply, d) the first and second monolith are electrically connected by a monolith bridge; e) the array is configured to direct an electrical current to run from the first conductor through the first monolith to a second end, then through the bridge, and then through the second monolith to the second conductor.

Endothermic reaction of a feed gas heated by resistance heating

A method of manufacturing a component from metal-containing powder. A paste is prepared by mixing at least a powder comprising metal, a binder in an amount of 2 to 8 weight % of the paste, and liquid, such as water, in an amount of 5 to 25 weight % of the paste. The paste is transferred to an extruder, and the paste is extruded into a green body by using an extrusion pressure (P) of more than 50 bar. Then the green body is dried and sintered or oxidized to obtain the final component.

Method of extruding a powder metallurgical component

A method of manufacturing an object by joining a first component and a second component. The first component comprises metal powder with a first alloy composition and a first soluble binder, and the second component comprises metal powder with a second alloy composition and a second soluble binder. They may further comprise ceramic powder. At least one of the surfaces to be joined is dissolved before they are brought in contact, or a mixture of metal powder with a third alloy composition and a dissolved third binder is arranged there between. The chemical differences between the first, second, and third alloy compositions are within predetermined limits. The components are sintered or oxidized together whereby it is possible to obtain an object wherein the transitions between the material phases from the joined components are close to inconspicuous when analysed with scanning electron microscopy.

Method of manufacturing an object by joining two powder metallurgical components

The invention relates to a structured catalyst for catalyzing steam methane reforming reaction in a given temperature range T upon bringing a hydrocarbon feed gas into contact with the structured catalyst. The structured catalyst comprises a macroscopic structure, which comprises an electrically conductive material and supports a ceramic coating. The macroscopic structure has been manufactured by 3D printing or extrusion and subsequent sintering, wherein the macroscopic structure and the ceramic coating have been sintered in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to form chemical bonds between the ceramic coating and the macroscopic structure. The ceramic coating supports catalytically active material arranged to catalyze the steam methane reforming reaction, wherein the macroscopic structure is arranged to conduct an electrical current to supply an energy flux to the steam methane reforming reaction. The invention moreover relates to methods of manufacturing the structured catalyst and a system using the structured catalyst.

Catalyst and system for methane steam reforming by resistance heating; said catalyst's preparation

The present invention relates to a magnetic gear comprising a first magnetic rotor with a first shaft; and a second magnetic rotor with a second shaft; a support structure, with a first end shield and a second end shield connected by a stat or support element. A first bearing attached to the first end shield supports the first shaft and a second bearing supports the second shaft. The first and second magnetic rotors are displaced in axial direction from each other in an axial gap; and the first shaft and shaft are approximately aligned in opposite axial directions; and a plurality of magnetic flux conductors encircles the first and second magnetic rotors, thereby conducting magnetic flux from the first magnetic rotor to the second magnetic rotor. The magnetic gear comprises a dividing wall arranged in the axial gap between the first magnetic rotor and the magnetic second rotor, to separate a first chamber from a second chamber.
