Abstract: A take-up reel has a diameter equal to or more than 85 times a thickness of a veneer sheet wound thereon and equal to or more than 300 mm so as to be of a curvature of the take-up reel to reduce cracking in parallel to fiber orientations that occurs in winding a veneer sheet after drying on a winding surface of the take-up reel. A veneer reeling apparatus comprises: a take-up reel disposed in a veneer sheet reeling position in a rotatable manner; a drive roller disposed on the lower surface of the take-up reel, transmitting a driving force with a variable speed; a veneer dryer disposed upstream from the veneer sheet reeling position; a conveyor provided between the terminal end of the veneer dryer and the drive roller in the veneer sheet reeling position; and a plurality of thread feeding mechanisms disposed at arbitrary spatial intervals along a length direction of the take-up reel for a veneer sheet, wherein a continuous dried veneer sheet or dried veneer sheets whose sizes are of a constant length or of a length at random are wound on the take-up reel to form a veneer roll with threads as guide by a frictional force of the drive roller. Further, pairs of two overlapping veneer sheets or sets of a pair of two overlapping veneer sheets and a single veneer sheet can be wound on the take-up reel in a composite form.

Patent CA-2544800-C (CA)
Inventor: GUYER ERIC C
IPC: F02G5/02
Filed: 2004-11-01
Granted: 2009-08-25
Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for cogeneration of building heat and electric power and that efficiently interfaces a warm air heating system with a liq~uid-cooled electric power generator. The system and method utilizes an electric generator that is rated at near the time-averaged electric power consumption for the build~ing. This generator is operated as the priority source of heat for the building, but nor~mally only when there is a demand for heat in building. In this manner, the generator can run to generate a significant part of the building's electric power but in a manner that is typically supplemented in variable quantities by power from a public,power grid. The heat output is directed via a liquid coolant circuit on the generator, as needed, to the warm air heating unit for the building. The warm air heating unit blows return air through a cabinet and out to the supply duct(s). The warm liquid coolant is directed through a primary heat exchanger in the cabinet. The air is passed over this primary heat exchanger to provide heat to the building. When heat from primary heat ex~ changer is insufficient to heat the building fully, an auxiliary heater, operated typically by burning fuel, supplements the heat through one or more auxiliary heat exchangers arranged in line along the airflow path with the primary heat exchanger. The blower that directs the airflow is controlled variably in speed to create the most efficient use of electric power by the blower and a desirable heated air delivery temperature.

Abstract: A press belt made from an elastomer material forms a closed loop in a longitudinal direction with a transverse direction perpendicular thereto. The belt has an inner and an outer surface and three layers of reinforcement yarns arranged inside the elastomer material. An innermost yarn layer extends in the longitudinal direction with adjacent reinforcement yarns in the transverse direction. A middle yarn layer extends in the transverse direction with adjacent reinforcement yarns in the longitudinal direction. An outermost yarn layer extends in the longitudinal direction with adjacent reinforcement yarns in the transverse direction, which absorb energy and are restored from deformation with delay in connection with deformation. At least one of the material and structure of the reinforcement yarns of the outermost yarn layer are more flexible than those of the innermost and middle yarn layers such that they absorb more energy and are restored more slowly from deformation.
