Patent GB-2037012-A (GB)
Title: Computer diagnostic system
IPC: G05B23/00
Filed: 1979-11-07
Abstract: In a method of determining the location of a fault, e.g. in an integrated forging installation 2, information corresponding to each component part of the installation and the correct operating parameters of each component part is stored in a memory 3 and a computer 1 is used to produce, on a visual display unit 5, schematic diagrams of at least part of the installation and indicate tests which are to be carried out. The operator causes the test results to be supplied to the computer, or the computer retrieves it from monitored points, and, after comparing the results with the stored information, the computer indicates on the display either where the fault lies or further schematic diagrams and tests which are to be carried out to locate where the fault lies. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for drying a pumpable substance containing a liquid
IPC: F26B3/12
Filed: 1980-02-22
Abstract: Inside a housing (1), a drying chamber (3) is defined by a cylindrical, gas-permeable wall (2). The annular space between the housing (1) and the wall (2) is divided into a plurality of superposed annular chambers (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) divided by horizontal annular plates (5a, 5b, 5c) which are charged with preheated air through ducts (10 to 13) which enter respective annular chambers (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) tangentially. Openings (7, 29) provided in the wall (2) are directed partially radially and partially obliquely so that a rotating air cushion (30) is formed at the inner face of the wall (2) which prevents adhesion of the solid substance thereto. The air travels along a helical path inside the drying chamber (line S) and therefore a long dwell time results and hence intensive drying. The substance to be dried is introduced at spray head (27), and the dried substance leaves at opening (28). <IMAGE>
