The electronic control device is linked to the dispenser for controlling the metered amounts of chemical reactants. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the reaction mixture to the liquid to be heated passing through the heat exchanger. The monitoring stations monitor one or more physical or chemical parameters of the reaction mixture, such as pH, temperature, flow rate or viscosity. The monitoring stations are arranged to communicate with the electronic control device. The waste outlet is designed to remove spent reaction mixture from the apparatus. The mixing chamber, heat exchanger and the one or more monitoring stations are connected in a loop, where the electronic control device is programmed to cause the reaction mixture to be circulated around the loop at least twice.

Title: Improvements in or relating to soldered joints
IPC: F16L13/08
Filed: 1932-04-08
Abstract: 391,966. Soldering pipe joints. PARKER, A. L., 10320, Berea Road, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. April 8, 1932, No. 10054. Convention date, Dec. 22, 1931. [Class 83 (iv).] In soldering tubes 10 or rods into tubular fittings 1, the fitting is dimensioned so as to provide a uniform clearance space 2 only sufficient to permit free insertion of the tube, and is inwardly tapered at the inner end 6 of the space so that the tube is centred and frictionally gripped therein. The solder is applied to the interior of the fitting and the outside of the tube &c. in a viscous or semiliquid form consisting of solder granules and a flux provided, if necessary, with an adhesive. Pockets 8 may also be provided in the fitting by a blunt drill to provide a reserve of solder in excess of the quantity normally required, the tops of the pockets being filed away if additional solder is required. After the parts are coated the tube &c. is inserted in the fitting so that part of the solder is rolled into beads at the inner end of the tube and also at the end of the fitting. The exterior of the fitting in the region of the joint is coated with red or other coloured lacquer and with a metal of high melting point such as antimony so that melting of the antimony and consequent changing of the colour to dark reddish brown, during soldering, indicates that sufficient heat has been applied to effect the soldering. The outer end of the fitting may be joined with a bead 7a to retard heat radiation at the open end and ensure setting of the solder from the inner end outwardly. In joining two tubes the fitting may be double-ended or may be formed integral with one tube.

Abstract: Per-acids are prepared by reacting hydrogen peroxide with an ester of an organic carboxylic acid, in which the ester radical contains at least 2 carbon atoms, in the presence of an acid catalyst and in the absence of water and the corresponding carboxylic acid.  The anhydrous reaction mixture may be prepared by mixing aqueous hydrogen peroxide with the ester and distilling off the water, e.g. as an azeotrope with the ester or with an added inert solvent before the catalyst is added.  The catalyst may be a mineral acid, a strong organic acid, a Lewis acid or a cation exchange resin, examples of each of which are given. Examples describe the treatment of esters of formic, acetic, propionic, benzoic phthalic, oxalic, succinic, adipic and carbonic acids.  The Provisional Specification refers additionally to the treatment of esters of strong organic acids, e.g. formic, oxalic, trifluoroacetic and mono- or tri-chloracetic acids, in the absence of the acid catalyst, and includes examples of the preparation of permonochloro- and pertrichloro-acetic acids. Specification 803,159 is referred to.
