IPC: G21C17/017
Filed: 2008-03-27
Abstract: A device for cleaning the inside surface of a heat exchanger tube (2) of a heat exchanger (4), in particular a preheat exchanger of a CANDU reactor, with blasting agent, contains a pressure line (10) that carries the blasting agent and a gas, with an input-side coupling element (12), for connecting the pressure line (10), to at least one heat exchanger tube (2). The gas/particle mixture consisting of gas, blasting agent and material removed by the blasting agent is routed to a separator through a suction line (26). There is an expansion chamber (16) between the outlet side end of the at least one heat exchanger tube (2) and the separator (2) and the speed of the gas/particle mixture is reduced in this expansion chamber (16). There is at least one inlet channel (20) to introduce the extraneous gas (FG) in the area of the expansion chamber (16). As a result of these measures, the speed of the particles that are being transported by the gas is efficiently reduced before they flow into the suction line (26), so that the particles do not build up in the suction line (26) or in the heat exchanger tubes (2).

Title: Lightweight thin flexible polymer coated glove and a method therefor
Inventor: THOMPSON ERIC
IPC: A47K11/04
Filed: 2007-02-22
Abstract: A lightweight thin flexible latex glove article having a polymeric latex coating that penetrates the front portion of a knitted liner half way or more through the liner thickness and for at least a portion of the knitted liner, not penetrating the entire thickness. For example, the liner can be knitted using an 18-gauge needle with 70 to 221 denier nylon 66 multi-filament yarn.  The polymer latex coating can be 0.75 to 1.25 times the thickness of the knitted liner. Over 30% reduction of glove thickness is achieved resulting in three times greater flexibility. The polymer latex coating may be foamed with 5 to 50 vol% air content. Open celled foamed latex coating may be coated with a dispersion of fluorochemical dispersion to prevent liquid permeation into the glove. The process can include steps to gel the latex emulsion at interstices of the yarn to prevent further penetration of the emulsion into the liner.
