Abstract: Disclosed is a method for operating a condenser (20) of the type having a housing inside of which is disposed a bundle of water tubes (22), a steam inlet (26) for steam to flow inside the housing for contacting the tube bundle for cooling, and having a stagnant air zone (25) during operation wherein any air in-leakage preferentially collects and condensate in the air zone becomes subcooled. A trough or drain is placed beneath the stagnant air zone for collecting subcooled condensate from the stagnant air zone. Collected subcooled condensate is transported from the trough drain in a pipe to said steam inlet. The transported condensate is injected with an injector for contacting with steam entering the condenser, whereby the injected condensate is heated by the steam for expelling dissolved oxygen in the injected condensate. Advantageously, the condenser is fitted with an array of temperature sensors at the stagnant air zone for determination of its presence and/or size. Additionally, disclosed is a method for preventing air bound zones in the tube bundle sections of the condenser.

Title: Spindle sleeve with transponder
Inventor: SCHWANDNER FRANK
IPC: G06K19/07
Filed: 2002-11-25
Granted: 2007-08-14
Abstract: The invention comprises a transponder (200) moveably implanted into a pocket (101) on an elastomeric spindle sleeve (100). The pocket comprises a plastic lining which is formed in the sleeve during cure or vulcanization. The transponder is inserted into the pocket once cure or vulcanization of the sleeve is complete. The open ends of the pocket are then sealed closed with an adhesive. Since the transponder is not molded into or otherwise bonded to the pocket during fabrication the transponder may move within the pocket. This minimizes stresses that may otherwise be transmitted to the transponder during flexing of the sleeve, thereby extending a transponder life. The transponder collects, stores and transmits manufacturing data which can be read by hand-held or stationary electronic devices. The transponder comprises a microchip and antenna in addition to a plastic or paper laminate upon which it is mounted. The transponder is activated by RF energy received by the antenna and therefore needs no battery.
