Title: Variable firing rate fuel burner
Inventor: HALLIT RAYMOND I
IPC: F28D7/00
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: A variable firing rate fuel burner has a tubular body configuration defined by a central pilot tube coaxially circumscribed by intermediate and outer firing tubes. A pilot fuel-air mixture is flowed through the pilot tube and ignited to maintain a pilot flame at the open outlet end of the burner body. During firing of the burner, separate fuel-air mixtures are flowed through an intermediate annulus between the intermediate firing tube and the pilot tube, and an outer annulus between the intermediate firing tube and the outer firing tube. As these fuel-air mixtures exit the burner body they are ignited by the pilot flame, with the fuel-air mixture exiting the outer annulus serving as a flame shaping mechanism to provide the overall burner flame with a controlled, elongated shape. By using two separate fuel-air mixture flows surrounding the pilot fuel-air mixture flow, the firing rate of the burner may be easily modulated, and the burner may be simultaneously operated with two different types of fuel.

Title: Filtration vessel and method for rotary gas compressor system
Inventor: KROGUE JOHN A
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: A filtration vessel is shown for use with a rotary screw compressor which receives a compressed liquid/gas mixture from the compressor. The vessel utilizes a first stage vortex knockout region to remove bulk liquids through a circular motion which imposes centrifugal forces on the gas and liquid mixture. A coalescer region located above the vortex knockout region receives the relatively lighter fluids and separates any remaining entrained liquids from the fluids. The discharge from the filtration unit is an essentially liquid free compressed gas. The liquid discharge, in the case of lube oil can be recirculated to the compressor for another cycle.

Abstract: A gear pump for the dosed conveyance of pigmented lacquers or paints and which is adapted for use with a painting robot. The gear pump comprises two toothed wheels meshing with one another and which are mounted within a pump housing in such a manner that they can be rotated by a driven drive shaft and a fixed bearing shaft. For this, the drive shaft is mounted by a bearing section at multiple points in a pump housing and a coupling section of the drive shaft projects out of the pump drive to connect to a drive. In order, on the one hand, to avoid wear due to high pressure forces and, on the other hand, to absorb a pronounced load from the outside, a supporting bearing for the radial and axial support of the drive shaft is formed on the drive shaft's coupling section projecting outside of the pump housing.
