A process for producing olefins may include dehydrogenating a first alkane in a first reactor to produce a first effluent comprising at least one of a first n-olefin or a first diolefin; removing the first effluent from the first reactor; and regenerating the first reactor. The first reactor may include a first dehydrogenation catalyst and a first phase change material.

Described herein is a corrosion inhibitor for use in an aqueous brine solution; the brine solution may be a drilling fluid or refrigeration fluid. The corrosion inhibitor comprises a reducing sugar, such as a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a polysaccharide, or any combination thereof. A method of drilling a borehole is also described; the method comprises injecting a drilling fluid into the borehole, wherein the drilling fluid comprises an aqueous brine solution comprising a reducing sugar as a corrosion inhibitor.

The present invention relates to a heat-dissipating gel-type silicone rubber composition including an organopolysiloxane, wherein the heat-dissipating gel-type silicone rubber composition further includes, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the organopolysiloxane, 0.1-25 parts by weight of an organo-hydrogen polysiloxane, 1,100-2,000 parts by weight of a filler, 5-50 parts by weight of a filler surface-treating agent, and 0.1-5 parts by weight of a catalyst, wherein the organopolysiloxane and the organo-hydrogen polysiloxane each include 1,000 ppm or less of a cyclic siloxane therein.

A component having a coating comprising a material in a first phase (e.g., solid and/or liquid phase) with a transition temperature. The component is mechanically and/or electrically attached to a substrate. Exposure of the coating to a temperature that meets or exceeds the transition temperature causes the material to undergo a phase change. The phase change of the material alters the position of the component, including separation of the component from the substrate. The separation disrupts the attachment, thereby mitigating damage to the substrate and/or component.

The present invention relates to coolants for cooling systems in electric vehicles having fuel cells and/or batteries, preferably for motor vehicles, particularly preferably for passenger cars and commercial vehicles (known as light and heavy duty vehicles), based on alkylene glycols or derivatives thereof, which comprise additional corrosion inhibitors for improved corrosion protection in addition to specific azole derivatives.

A method for controlling the temperature of a battery in an electric or hybrid motor vehicle by means of a system including a vapor compression circuit in which a first heat transfer composition flows, and a secondary circuit in which a second heat transfer composition flows, the method involving: heat exchange between the battery and the second heat transfer composition; heat exchange between the second heat transfer composition and the first heat transfer composition; wherein the battery includes at least one electrochemical cell having a negative electrode, a positive electrode and an electrolyte including a lithium salt composition, the lithium salt composition including: at least 99.75% by weight of a lithium salt of bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide; chlorides Clat a mass content strictly less than 20 ppm. Also a system for carrying out the method.

Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a method and apparatus for shipping products so as to control the temperatures the products are exposed to. Embodiments can increase the amount of time the product and/or portions of the product experience a desired temperature range and/or reduce the amount of time the product and/or portions of the product experience temperatures outside of the desired temperature range and/or experience an undesirable temperature range. Embodiments can incorporate biotic materials, such as wood fibers or moss, positioned around and/or near the product positioned inside a packaging container or around a pallet load, such that the biotic materials restrict heat flow from one or more locations on the exterior of the package to one or more other locations in the interior of the package.
