Title: Rotary hearth furnace control
IPC: C21D9/00
Filed: 1961-10-27
Abstract: 920,150. Charging and discharging rotary hearth furnaces. SALEM-BROSIUS Inc. Oct. 27, 1961 [March 28, 1961], No. 38501/61. Class 51 (2). In a rotary hearth furnace having automatic charging and discharging means which deliver articles to a rotatable hearth and remove the same after heating, a control is provided comprising hearth travel measuring means generating electric pulses which are counted by counting means which in turn operate means controlling and co-ordinating the rotation of the hearth and the operation of the charging and discharging means. The drive to a rotatable hearth 11 is transmitted from a motor 17 through a reduction gear 18, drive shafts 19, 20, chain drives 21, 22 and final spur gears 25, 26 and is such that shafts 19, 20 rotate considerably faster than the hearth 11. A disc 28 with, for example, twenty holes 29 is mounted on and rotates with the shaft 20 and allows intermittent passage of light through the holes 29 from a source 32 to a photo-sensitive device 34b. The pulses of electricity generated by the device 34b are counted by two counting devices (Fig. 3, not shown) which in turn are linked with and may be preset to signal a control panel at a predetermined number of pulses. One of the two counting devices is used to control, by means of the control panel, the starting and stopping of the hearth in conjunction with the charging means 13 while the other counting device controls in a similar way the discharging of articles by discharging means 16. Thus a close and efficient control over the spacing on the hearth of billets 14, 15 is provided. A cycle time clock (Fig. 3, not shown) may also be included in the system to provide further time control of the hearth.

In further modifications, the tab 230 is dispensed with or is folded about an edge 246 to lie between the portions 240, 244. The carton openings may be formed by tearing out panels defined by perforations.

[Also in Division G1] In apparatus for monitoring the coolant gas of a nuclear reactor for escaped fission products from burst fuel elements and of the kind in which the fission products are precipitated upon an endless wire or tape electrode which subsequently passes through a detector and back to the store, the precipitator, detector, the electrode and the store are contained in a pressurized vessel and the electrode is moved continuously at a constant speed. As shown in Fig. 4, the gas enters via inlet 14 a precipitator chamber 43 which is maintained at 3 kv. above the electrode 44 so that decay products such as rubidium and caesium collect on the electrode. Beta-particles emitted by these products are detected by a semi-conductor silicon detector 41 as the tape passes through it and the signals from which are recorded and operate an alarm if of sufficient magnitude. The major part of the electrode is shored over pulleys 45 to allow the particles to decay. Eight precipitators and their associated electrodes and detectors are contained in the cylinder 23 which is pressurized and flushed with fresh coolant gas.

Title: Isocyanato-urethane waterproofing agents and materials waterproofed therewith
Inventor: ALDRIDGE CLYDE LEE
IPC: C08G18/62
Filed: 1958-12-08
Abstract: Materials which contain active hydrogen atoms are waterproofed by reaction with an isocyanatourethane adduct of a diisocyanate OCN.R1.NCO, wherein R1 is a divalent C6-12 hydrocarbon radical, with an aliphatic monohydroxy compound containing at least 10 carbon atoms or with a hydroxymethylated high molecular weight, low unsaturation hydrocarbon polymer containing from 1 to 10 hydroxy groups per thousand carbon atoms. The aliphatic monohydroxy compound may be a C10-30 alkanol or alkoxyalkanol.  The polymer may be hydroxymethylated butyl rubber or hydroxymethylated petroleum resins, polypropylene or styrene-diolefin copolymers.  Suitable materials for proofing include cellulosic or polysaccharidic materials such as cotton, paper, regenerated cellulose filaments, viscose films, cellulose acetate, and cellulose esters and ethers containing free hydroxy groups, and nitrogen containing fibres, e.g. nylon.  The waterproofing is effected by impregnating, (e.g. by dipping or refluxing) the material with a solution, e.g. in hexane, n-heptane or naphtha, of the isocyanatourethane and then drying or baking, e.g. at 30-150 DEG  C.  Generally 0,1 to 1 % wt. of the alcohol adducts and 0,1 to 10% of the polymer adducts are incorporated in the material. Adduct not chemically bound to the material may be removed by washing with a hydrocarbon.  In examples: cotton cloth is treated with adducts from tolylene diisocyanates and C8H17O C9-H18OH, C13 oxo alcohol, or hydroxymethylated butyl rubber; paper is treated with adducts from tolylene diisocyanates and C8H17OC9H18OH o C13 oxo alcohol; and nylon is treated with an adduct from tolylene diisocyanate and C10H21OC11H22OH. Specifications 565,974 and 743,886 are referred to.ALSO:The invention comprises isocyanotourethane compounds of formula OCN.R1.NH.CO.OR wherein R1 is a divalent C6-12 hydrocarbon radical and R is a hydrophobic aliphatic radical containing at least 10 carbon atoms, e.g. a hydrocarbon radical which may be interrupted by an ether oxygen atom or atoms.  They are prepared by reacting a diisocyanate OCN.R1. NCO (preferably in excess) with a monohydric alcohol ROH, preferably in an inert solvent.  Suitable alcohols include C10-30 alkanols and alkoxyalkanols.  The products are used in waterproofing materials containing active hydrogen (see Groups IV (a) and VIII).

[Classes 75 (i) and 126.] A boiling-pan 24 is heated by an oil burner inserted through an aperture 10 into a combustion chamber 28 which is surrounded by a series of bricks 15 alternating with bricks 14 which are less in height leaving openings 20 above the latter through which the combustion gases enter an annular flue 18 provided with an outlet 21. The series of holes 20 increase in size as the distance from the outlet increases to give an even draught. The annular flue 18 is widened in the region near the chimney to avoid throttling the gas flow. Air for combustion is preheated in space 19, entering through ports 6, 6A, and passing through ports 36 into the space between two baseplates 8, 9, and entering the combustion chamber through aperture 10 controlled by a regulator 38. A passage 4 is provided in a circular casting 5 to heat steam or air for atomizing the fuel in the burner. The gases leaving through outlet 21 may be used to heat a second pan.
