Publication number: 20110226780Abstract: A vessel for a thermal energy storage system comprising a bottom wall joined to a surrounding side wall, and an inner liner disposed within the bottom wall and side wall and comprising an inner liner bottom and an inner liner side wall. One aspect of the inner liner bottom and side wall is that they are configured to repeatedly expand and contract during the thermal cycling of the storage system. A thermal energy storage system comprising the containment vessel and an array of heat exchangers is also disclosed. The heat exchangers are disposed in the vessel, and arranged so as to enclose a volume within the vessel. Each of the heat exchangers is suspended by a suspension assembly. The assembly may be comprised of a central support hanger, a spring loaded upper hanger, and a lower hanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2011Publication date: September 22, 2011Inventors: John P. Bell, Joseph M. Bell, JR., Michael S. Bower, Gerard C. Walter

Patent number: 6172117Abstract: Biocidal preservatives for use especially in preventing rotting and deterioration of wood include quaternary ammonium compounds which preferably have a fatty aliphatic substituent on the quaternary nitrogen atom. Especially preferred are cocoalkyl substituents. Other substituents can include alkoxy groups, arenes, and heterocyclic groups with or without ring substitutions, for example. The quaternary ammonium compound can also contain an amine nitrogen and can be complexed with copper.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1998Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Akzo Nobel N.V.Inventors: John P. Bell, Andress K. Doyle, Robert F. Farmer, James F. Gadberyy, Douglas Lucas, Stanley B. Mirviss, William Parr

Patent number: 4400982Abstract: A particle collector and fractionator having a 360.degree. omnidirectional gas inlet slit is disclosed herein. The collector and fractionator generally comprises a top and bottom fractionating member, each of which has a set of concentric, annular ring projections which are complementary to the other set. The ring projections form channels in the top and bottom members. The collector has at least one standoff for fastening together and spacing the top and bottom fractionating members. The concentric, annular ring projections form rectangular-shaped slits, when viewed in a cross-section. The slits, formed as they are by the ring-like projections, define a gas flow path from the omnidirectional gas inlet slit to a centrally disposed gas outlet port. Particles are collected and fractionated in the channel portions of the concentric, annular ring-like projections whenever particle laden gas flows into the gas flow path and out through the centrally disposed gas port.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1981Date of Patent: August 30, 1983Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Environmental Protection AgencyInventor: John P. Bell

Patent number: 4381681Abstract: A particulate sample collector has a blower to draw air through ducting in which a filter collects particles. The blower is driven by a sealed inductive A.C. motor. A throttle in the ducting is controlled by a pneumatic motor in response to variation in pressure drop, to provide constant mass flow rate as the filter gradually becomes clogged.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: May 3, 1983Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection AgencyInventor: John P. Bell

Patent number: 4279156Abstract: A particle collector and fractionator having a 360.degree., omnidirectional gas slit is disclosed herein. The collector and fractionator generally comprise a top and a bottom fractionating member, each of which has a set of concentric corrugations which are complementary to the other set. The collector also includes at least one spacer bracket for mounting and spacing the concentric corrugations of the top fractionating member over the concentric corrugations of the bottom member in complementary relationship, and forming an annular, concentrically corrugated gas flow path therebetween which is circumscribed by a 360.degree. gas slit. Particles are collected and fractionated in the valley portions of the concentric corrugations of the top and bottom members whenever particle laden gas flows from any direction into the concentrically corrugated gas flow path, and out through a centrally disposed gas withdrawal means in the bottom fractionating member.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1979Date of Patent: July 21, 1981Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection AgencyInventor: John P. Bell
