Patent CA-2417614-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CARRIGAN CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2003-01-29
Abstract: A multiple shaft seal arrangement positioned between a shaft and an inside diameter surface of an aperture in a wall. The multiple shaft seal arrangement has a flinger attached to the shaft with a face seal mounted to the flinger. A double lip oil seal is mounted to the inside diameter of the aperture. The flinger is positioned such that the face seal is pressed against the double lip oil seal. Accordingly, rotation of the shaft causes rotation of the flinger and face seal. This centrifugally throws contaminants, such as particulate matter, away from the aperture. The void between the face seal and the inside diameter of the aperture is filled with grease or similar substance. The combination of these elements greatly prohibits debris, moisture, particulate matter or other environmental elements from passing from one side of the multiple shaft seal arrangement to the other.
Patent CA-2417693-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHEA JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: Arcing faults in an electric power system are detected by sensors powered by the light generated by the arcing even in the presence of background light. The sensors have one or more first photovoltaic cells energized by light passed through a first filter having a passband which includes a characteristic wavelength of the arcing material to generate a sensed light electrical signal. One or more second photovoltaic cells are energized by light filtered by a second filter having a passband not including the characteristic wavelength to generate a background light electrical signal. These two electrical signals are applied in opposition to an LED which is turned on when arcing is present. The light signal from the LED is transmitted through an optic fiber to a photoelectric circuit, which generates an arcing signal when energized. The LED may be biased toward the on condition by unfiltered additional photovoltaic cells.

Title: Highly efficient heat exchanger and combustion chamber assembly for boilers and heated air generators
Inventor: RIGAMONTI ANGELO
IPC: F28F1/02
Filed: 2003-05-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat exchanger and condensation combustion chamber assembly, comprising a plurality of tubes and including a front plate and a rear plate connected to the combustion chamber with a drop pattern. Each of the heat exchanger tubes comprises a variable area cross section, with a flat portion at a middle region, to provide a larger thermal exchange surface. The middle region is subjected to a crossed cut molding process to provide a helical type of fume path, suitable to enhance the efficiency of the assembly, owing to an increased thermal exchange between the fumes and heated air flows. The combustion having a cross section of drop shape allows to properly solve the problem related to the very high temperatures generated by recent cylindric gas burners having a metal mesh surface generating great amounts of heat, which must be disposed of in a thermal exchange process with the heated air flow.
