Abstract:
A CIR train includes a milling machine, an asphalt cement supply tank, a mechanism for dispensing asphalt cement onto paving material that has been removed from the roadway by the milling machine, an asphalt cement pump for pumping asphalt cement from the asphalt cement supply tank into and through an asphalt cement flow circuit to the asphalt cement dispensing mechanism. A heating assembly is interposed in the asphalt cement flow circuit between the asphalt cement supply tank and the dispensing mechanism. The heating assembly includes a heater and a heat modifying component. The heater includes an asphalt cement coil that is in the asphalt cement flow circuit, and a burner that is adapted to direct hot gases of combustion across the asphalt cement coil. The heat modifying component is adapted to modulate the amount of heat transfer from the hot gases of combustion to the asphalt cement in the coil.

Claim (Index 1):
A CIR train that is adapted to traverse a roadway of pavement in order to remove paving material from the pavement and recycle such paving material by mixing it with asphalt cement, said CIR train comprising:\n (A) a milling machine for milling the pavement and removing milled paving material from the roadway; (B) an asphalt cement supply tank that is separate from the milling machine; (C) a mechanism for dispensing asphalt cement onto paving material that has been removed from the roadway by the milling machine; (D) an asphalt cement flow circuit that provides for the flow of asphalt cement from the asphalt cement supply tank to the mechanism for dispensing asphalt cement onto the paving material that has been removed from the roadway, said asphalt cement flow circuit including an asphalt cement pump for pumping asphalt cement from the asphalt cement supply tank into and through the asphalt cement flow circuit; (E) a heating assembly that is interposed in the asphalt cement flow circuit between the asphalt cement supply tank and the mechanism for dispensing asphalt cement onto paving material that has been removed from the roadway, said heating assembly comprising:\n (i) a heater comprising:\n (a) an asphalt cement coil that is in the asphalt cement flow circuit; \n (b) a burner that is adapted to direct hot gases of combustion across the asphalt cement coil through which asphalt cement is being pumped; \n \n (ii) a heat modifying component that is adapted to modulate the amount of heat transfer from the hot gases of combustion to the asphalt cement in the coil in order to control the temperature of the asphalt cement in the asphalt cement flow circuit downstream of the heating assembly.
