Title: Method and apparatus for cleansing a mixing device during a dispense
Inventor: SCHROEDER ALFRED A
IPC: B67B7/00
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A reconstituting device including a control system reconstitutes product concentrates. The reconstituting device is further able to pre-wet a mixing device of the dispense circuit, dispense the reconstituted product, and rinse the mixing device during a dispense interval without affecting the mix ratio of the reconstituted dispense. Pre-wetting and rinsing of the mixing device of the dispense circuit is accomplished by moving a portion of a concentrate dispense from an earliest and a latest dispense interval to a mid-range dispense interval, thereby flowing reconstituting fluid alone during the earliest and latest dispense intervals. Pre-wetting allows the reconstituting fluid to form a boundary layer on contact surfaces of the mixing device.  Rinsing is accomplished by flowing reconstituting fluid through device after the mixing sequence of the dispense is completed. The control system may conduct the pre-wet or the post-rinse sequence, or may conduct both within a same dispense.

Patent CA-2620924-A1 (CA)
Title: Automotive coolant pump apparatus
Inventor: FULTON JOHN ROBERT LEWIS
IPC: F01P5/10
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: An automotive coolant pump has movable vanes, which are adjustable as to their orientation in accordance with the temperature of the coolant, whereby the rate of coolant flow through the pump impeller accords with coolant temperature. A thermal-actuator is operated by a thermal-sensor, and serves to rotate a vanes-drive-ring to cause the vanes to change orientation in unison.  The cooling system includes a bypass-port, which is open during warmup and closed once coolant has acquired working temperatures; the same thermal-actuator serves also to operate the bypass-port-blocker. Additionally, the same thermal-actuator may serve also to operate a radiator-port-blocker, which serves to block flow through the radiator during engine warmup. The vanes may be arranged to close completely together, and to be sealed at closure. Sealing is effected e.g by elastomeric sealing elements arranged on the appropriate surfaces of the vanes. The vanes lie sandwiched between top and bottom plates, which press the vanes with a small resilient force. The plates and vanes, together with a retainer, form a pre-assembly module. The vanes also are profiled to maximise efficiency over the range of orientations and conditions.

Patent CA-2644645-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHILBACH PETER RICHARD
IPC: B05B15/12
Filed: 2008-12-04
Abstract: Paint spray booths commonly have airflow intake and exhaust rates of approximately 10,000 or more cubic feet per minute. This air is supplied by the intake of exterior air that is then heated by a carbon fuel burner before entering the spray booth and extracting paint over spray after which it is filtered and exhausted back out to the environment. In cold weather seasons this airflow must be raised from typically -10° to +20° Centigrade during spraying, and up to 80° Centigrade on bake mode (page 1).  With burner sizes up to 2,000,000 BTU, recovering the heat from the exhaust airflow by means of heat exchangers can substantially reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. This patent covers spray booth modification of air intake and exhaust air plenums with heat exchangers in order to facilitate the recovery of the heat from the exhaust air flow which otherwise would normally be lost during spray and bake operations (pages 2, 3).
