Patent NZ-516315-A (NZ)
Title: Freeing of seized valves
Inventor: ENSTON ROBERT PETER
IPC: F16K3/36
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: In order to free a seized valve an inspection port (46, figure  3)  is  formed in a wall of the valve body  and  the areas where the valve is seized are determined. One or  more injection ports 54 are formed in the valve body adjacent  to the   seized  portions  of  the  valve.  Pressurised   fluid (preferably an insoluble lubricant having a very  high  cone penetration) is injected through the or each injection  port and  the injection ports are then closed. The valve  may  be manufactured having ports already tapped (and plugged).  The pressurised fluid is of the following composition: ·  75-90% polyalphaolefins ·  3-15% powdered silica ·  0.5-5% powdered PTFE ·  1-6% di-n-octyl sebecate.

Patent NZ-520495-A (NZ)
Title: Extruded foam product with reduced surface defects
Inventor: MILLER LARRY M
IPC: C08J9/12
Filed: 2001-02-27
Abstract: A process for preparing extruded polymer foam products wherein surface defects are minimized is disclosed, wherein the polyethylene wax is added to the resin mixture or during some intermediate step of the process to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of surface defects, wherein the cells of the extruded polymer foam is free of halo-carbon blowing agents. There has been a movement to replace conventional halo-carbon blowing agents in favor of purportedly more environmentally safe halo-carbon free blowing agents such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, water, air, nitrogen, and helium. However, these halo-carbon free blowing agents, in particular carbon dioxide, have higher foaming rates and higher volatility leading to greater surface defects in the extruded foam. The polyethylene wax containing extruded polymer foam products are characterized by a generally smooth substantially defect free surface and contain a majority of closed cells which are free of any trapped halo-carbon blowing agents.

Title: System for vaporization of liquid fuels for combustion and method of use
Inventor: ROBY RICHARD J
IPC: F02G3/00
Filed: 2003-10-10
Abstract: A gas stream with a reduced oxygen concentration relative to ambient air is used to vaporize a liquid fuel or liquified higher hydrocarbon gas, or is mixed with a vaporized gas, and the reduced oxygen vaporized fuel gas is fed to a combustion device such as a premixed or diffusion combustor. Preferably, the oxygen content of the gas stream is less than the limiting oxygen index. By mixing the fuel with a gas stream that has an appropriately reduced oxygen content, auto-ignition prior to the flame front can be avoided. In some embodiments, the reduced oxygen stream is generated from an air separator or taken from the exhaust of the combustion device.
