Abstract
A device for producing vacuum using the Venturi effect, systems utilizing the device, and methods of making the device are disclosed. The device has a housing defining a Venturi gap, a motive passageway converging toward the Venturi gap and in fluid communication therewith, a discharge passageway diverging away from the Venturi gap and in fluid communication therewith, and a suction passageway in fluid communication with the Venturi gap. The suction passageway has an interior surface with a surface topography that renders the interior surface hydrophobic and has an oleophobic coating applied to the interior surface while maintaining the surface topography.

Full Text
- a continuous furnace (1) for continuously heating material (3) on an endlessly circulating conveyor belt (10) anda press (2) provided downstream in the production direction (15),wherein the continuous furnace (1) comprises a plurality of magnetrons (4) for generating electromagnetic waves and hollow conductors (5) with outlet openings (6) for feeding the waves into a radiation chamber (14). The invention is intended to solve the problem of reacting to various operating modes for the continuous furnace and, in particular, to heat up the material used in the best possible manner for later pressing. The invention is characterized in that a control or regulating apparatus (17) is arranged for controlling individual or grouped magnetrons (4) in order to provide them with different powers (L) for producing a differentiated power profile (9), preferably in and/or transversely to the production direction (15). (1491)
