Title: Control algorithm for water heater
Inventor: CHAUDHRY RAHEEL A
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: A storage type water heater, which may have either fuel or electric-based heating apparatus, is provided with a control system incorporating a control algorithm that monitors the time between heat demands and then sets the tank water setpoint temperature accordingly to lower the effects of water stratification due to periodic heat demands, and also save energy. When the time between consecutive heat demands is less than a predetermined setback time, for a number of heat demands equal to a predetermined setback limit, a setback mode is activated and responsively operates to reduce the setpoint temperature by a predetermined setback offset at the next cycle. The original control setpoint temperature is restored once the time between two successive heat demands is more than the setback time.

Patent CA-2779238-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEISLER ROBERT A
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2012-06-08
Abstract: Oil sands and like host materials containing asphaltenes (usually as bitumen) are treated with a combined leachant plus-precipitant selected to leach the oil into a leachate while concurrently precipitating asphaltenes. This has been found to enable the leachate to maintain a desired flow rate through the host materials. Most suitably the leachant is a selected monoterpene and the precipitant is a selected alcohol. Selected hydrocarbons were found to be less effective as precipitants, but would suffice in some situations. Recovered leachate is treated to remove particulates and to separate both leachant and precipitant for recycle. Where asphaltene recovery is desired, entrained asphaltene particles are separated from the leachate and residual asphaltene particles recovered from the host material. The remaining leached crude oil is very suitable for pipelining.
