Inventor: NIVENS JERRY W
IPC: F25B41/42

Abstract: A non-restrictive, constant pressure refrigerant recycling and cooling unit that interrupts the normal refrigerant cycle to permit a lower temperature liquid to enter the expansion device, and thus provide a lower temperature, and therefore a lower pressure gas for delivery to the inlet side of the compressor, which acts to reduce the energy requirement and cost to operate the compressor. This reduction in pressure and temperature also results in lower operating costs and lower maintenance costs and utilizes less refrigerant quantity requirements. A key factor in attaining the above advantages is the construction of the thermal inter-cooler that is so made that no restrictions are specifically inserted in the inter-cooler system, and that direct physical contact exists between the metal compressor inlet suction line and the metal (Cu) refrigerant hot line for optimum heat transfer, and as a result an increased volumetric efficiency and increased capacity occurs by a lowering of the pressure on both sides of the compressor.

Abstract: The process for the combustion of wood chips or the like, generating fumes low in noxious substances under continuously controllable furnace output, comprises first degassing the wood material in a pyrolysis chamber by external heating and with greatly substoichiometric primary air admixture, then introducing the resulting carbonisation gases into a separate reduction chamber and heating them therein to a temperature at which a reduction of the nitrogen oxides present in the carbonisation gases by the high carbon monoxide content of the carbonisation gases takes place, then passing the carbonisation gases downstream of the reduction chamber into a separate combustion chamber, at whose inlet the full combustion of the carbonisation gases is initiated by feeding combustion air and in which a spinning flow is forced by means of baffle devices in the combustion chamber onto the resulting flame, and contacting the fumes leaving the combustion chamber with the outside of the combustion chamber and with the outside of the pyrolysis chamber for heat release to the chambers and then passing them through water-cooled heating surfaces to generate useful heat. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an endless track vehicle, the track running gear of which has a running gear carrier in each case, on which the running gear components, such as track rollers, support arms, support rollers, guide roller, drive wheel and track are arranged, the running gear carriers are attached to the side walls of the vehicle engine sump with the interposition of elastomer material. In order largely to eliminate the effect of forces transmitted from the track running gear to the engine sump and to achieve more favourable damping properties, the running gear carriers which lie one on top of the other are connected to each other by means of diagonal braces and/or diagonal ties. As a result, the forces acting at the attachment point between track running gear and engine sump are largely eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a burner for gaseous, liquid or for gaseous and liquid fuel with a core air supply pipe for the supply of core air as first combustion portion, with an annular second outlet, which surrounds the core air supply pipe, for primary air as second combustion air portion, and with an annular thrid outlet, which surrounds the second outlet, for secondary air as third combustion air portion, the outlet of the gaseous fuel likewise taking place in such an annular manner in relation to the central core air flow that a first part of the gaseous fuel can be introduced inside the burner into the primary air flow and the second remaining part of the gaseous fuel can be introduced into the secondary air flow, the quantities supplied of core air and primary air on the one hand and of secondary air on the other hand being adjustable independently of one another, and the adjustment of the air flow quantities and the division of the fuel quantities taking place in such a manner that the primary air/fuel mixture emerging from the second outlet together with the core air is substoichiometric and the secondary air/fuel mixture emerging from the third outlet is superstoichiometric, a flue gas return pipe opening with its front end into the rear end of the core air supply pipe and forming therewith an annular nozzle as passage for the core air and the rear end of the flue gas return pipe being connected into the flue gas path at a point which has a low pressure difference in relation to the firing point. The invention envisages that a vapour jet injector (33) is integrated into the flue gas return pipe (21). The invention makes possible reduction of the NOx values with relatively low operating vapour quantities, as on the one hand the flue gas volume flow is increased and on the other hand the oxygen-free operating vapour quantity contributes additionally to the NOx reduction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arrangement is provided that includes a coordinating input (e.g., via 62 to 64 to 54) for a mechanism (18) of an interrupter switch (10); the coordinating input being derived from sensed movement of an element (e.g., 32) away from a first position (FIGS. 3 and 4) and toward a second position (direction 67). The coordinating input is utilized to trip the interrupters if they are closed. In a specific arrangement, a stored-energy mechanism (18) is tripped to provide opening and closing of the interrupters via a high-speed interrupter drive train (20). The tripping arrangement (34) is operable via a first input (at 56 via 58,60) to cause movement of a latch member (40) to release the stored-energy mechanism (18) to operate the interrupter drive train (20). The first input may be actuated via open or close instructions, including both local and remote capabilities. The latch (40) for the stored-energy mechanism ( 18) is reset after each actuation. An output shaft (19) of the mechanism is connected to drive the interrupter drive train (20). Both opening and closing are accomplished via rotation of the output shaft (19) in the same direction. An open/close sensing input for the interrupter drive train (20) is derived from the position of the output shaft (19). In a specific embodiment, the sensed movement of the element (32) corresponds to the movement of a disconnect linkage (22) away from a closed position. <IMAGE>
