Abstract: A device for holding and controlling the temperature of a corrosive chemical processing bath. The device has a tank having a bottom intimately covering thermally conductive fins, a heat sink thermally connected to the fins and heaters, connected to the heat sink, for changing the temperature of the fins. Preferably the device is produced by rotationally molding the tank about the fins coated with a polymeric material thereby covering the fins and forming an integral seamless tank.

Abstract: There is disclosed a nozzle liner and a method for its installation for the protection of nozzles of vessels. The nozzle liner comprises a sleeve fitting the internal diameter of the nozzle and having an integral end flange. The nozzle liner is inserted into the nozzle with its integral end flange bearing against the outer face of the ring flange of the nozzle. The nozzle liner is rotationally molded with an end flange and is free of internal stresses and seams. The preferred method of its installation simultaneously flares and bonds the nozzle liner to the lining of the vessel in a fashion which confines the stressed portions of the nozzle liner in the annular lamination area. In this position, the end of the nozzle liner projects inside the vessel and the projecting end is thermoformed to flare it outwardly and form an annular seal laminated against the inner corrosion liner of the vessel. For this purpose a heated flaring and laminating tool is employed.
