Title: Thermostatic mixer with device for dynamic regulation of a water flow
Inventor: KNAPP ALFONS
IPC: F16K31/00
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a thermostatic mixer, comprising a device for the dynamic regulation of the cold water flow which supplies the mixer.  Thermostatic mixers suitable for control of a large flow do not function correctly when the flow required is much less than the maximum flow for which designed, such as occurs, for example, when a thermostatic mixer for supply of a system with several showers is required to supply a single shower. Under these conditions thermostatic mixers lose stability and begin to oscillate such that the water flow exiting said mixers suffers continuous changes to the ratio of the mixture of hot and cold water and hence suffers temperature variations which are unpleasant for the user and can be dangerous. Said problem can be resolved whereby a resistance is generated to the flow of cold water supplied to the thermostatic mixer, when small flows of mixed water are required and said resistance is lifted or reduced when large flows of mixed water are required. Said operation is automatically carried out by devices for dynamic regulation of flow, whereby the flow cross-section provided for the incoming cold water is reduced when the drawn flow is reduced and a larger flow cross-section reestablished when a larger flow is required.

Abstract: A fixture (20) and method for repairing superalloy articles. The fixture (20) ideally holds the article in place if repairs are made. An interface between the fixture (20) and the article facilitate transfer of heat between the article and the fixture (20) so that the article can be differentially heat treated. A portion of the article extends from the fixture (20). This portion of the article, which may be repaired within the fixture (20) or may be repaired elsewhere, is solution heat treated while in the fixture (20) so that the area extending from the fixture (20) is solutioned, while heat is transferred from the article through the fixture (20), thereby preventing the temperature of the portion of the article within the fixture (20) from being elevated so as to modify its microstructure. The solutioned portion can then be heat treated, while in the fixture (20), to precipitation harden it as desired.
