Patent CA-2209839-A1 (CA)
Title: Exhaust manifold for engine
Inventor: MORI HIROKAZU
IPC: F16B37/06
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: An exhaust manifold for an engine includes a manifold body 7 having a plurality of branch pipes and a common collecting chamber  integrally  connected  to  the  branch  pipes  and communicating with an exhaust emission control device is divided into an upper half and a lower half at a boundary face extending in a direction of arrangement of the branch pipes.          The upper and lower halves are made of steel plates and welded to each other.  In the exhaust manifold, a welding mating coupler is formed by outer edges of the upper and lower halves, and a welding stepped superposing coupler is formed by inner edges of the upper and lower halves.  Thus, during welding, it is possible to limit the misalignment of the upper and lower halves  in a direction along the boundary face  and the misalignment of the upper and lower halves in a direction perpendicular to the boundary face by cooperation of the mating coupler and the stepped superposing coupler.  In addition, because the stepped superposing coupler is used for coupling of inner edges of the upper and lower halves to each other, it is possible to ensure sufficient clearances between the adjacent branch pipes, and to easily conduct the operation of mounting of the exhaust manifold to the engine by utilizing the clearances.

Patent CA-2216431-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SILVERI MICHAEL A
IPC: C25B15/00
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: Un générateur d'halogène produit un agent d'assainissement halogène afin d'assainir l'eau dans un contexte d'eau pour cuve thermale ou d'une autre eau. Un élément de montage sur une paroi coaxiale couple de manière souhaitable le générateur d'halogène à la source d'eau. Ce générateur comprend une cellule électrolytique bipolaire dans laquelle une plaque à électrode centrale tourne entre une anode fixe et des plaques cathodes. L'électrode bipolaire comprend une pluralité de pales qui provoquent l'écoulement d'eau entre l'anode et la cathode. Les pales de l'électrode rotative produisent également une circulation d'eau à travers le générateur. De cette manière, l'électrode bipolaire fonctionne comme une roue pour pomper l'eau à travers le générateur d'halogène. Les pales sont placées entre l'électrode et la cathode et elles sont suffisamment espacées de la cathode pour empêcher la formation de tartre sur celle-ci. Cependant, les pales n'entrent généralement pas en contact avec la cathode lorsqu'elles tournent. Le sens de rotation de l'électrode par rapport à la cathode peut être inversé périodiquement et/ou l'espace situé entre l'électrode et la cathode peut être diminué périodiquement afin de promouvoir l'enlèvement du tartre.

Title: Method and apparatus for the manufacture of a hydrocarbon product as well as the product itself
Inventor: LORENTZEN GEIR B
IPC: C10L3/06
Filed: 1996-04-26
Abstract: A method of producing a stable hydrocarbon product in the form of hydrate of at least one hydrate-forming hydrocarbon surrounded by or suspended in a hydrocarbon-containing liquid. The invention comprises the actual product, a method of manufacturing the product as well as a plant for manufacturing the product. The process comprises the following steps: a) hydrate-forming hydrocarbons and water are brought together in a hydrate-generating zone (1) under hydrate-forming process conditions. Heat energy being released during the hydrate formation is removed from the zone by direct cooling with a first cooling medium. Thereby a first intermediate product is formed, having an average temperature which is equal to or higher than the freezing point of water; b) any non-converted water being present is removed from the first intermediate product, whereby a second intermediate product is obtained, being substantially free of non-converted water c) the second intermediate product is cooled in a cooling zone (80) by direct cooling with a second, hydrocarbon-containing cooling medium, to a final temperature being in average lower than the freezing point of water. The end product comprises particles in a solid, hydrate-containing material, which is surrounded by or suspended in a liquid hydrocarbon carrier medium at a vapour pressure being lower than the final pressure at the final temperature.

Title: Mix head eductor
Inventor: GREANEY MICHAEL J
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: An eductor apparatus (20) includes a fluid inlet port (30) which directs fluid through an air gap (32) to an eductor (42).
