  • Patent number: 4681525
    Abstract: Apparatus for molding plastic products of virtually any complicated configuration is provided. When a parison is extruded out of a nozzle, a separating agent, preferably oil, is supplied into the parison as a lubricant. Since a thin film of the separating agent is formed on the inside surface of the parison, portions of the inside surface do not stick together even if they are brought into contact from some reasons. This insures to mold a plastic product of a very complex configuration. Use of a separating agent also allows to form sheet-type products by dividing the parison into several sections as desired. This is a very efficient way of forming sheet-type products since at least two may be formed at the same time.

  • Patent number: 4553988
    Abstract: A high-temperature furnace comprising a gas burner (2) for burning a mixture of air and fuel in a combustion chamber (1), and an oxygen enricher (4). The enricher comprises a plurality of cells (13a) each comprising a pair of spaced apart oxygen permeable membranes (14), and a suction fan (12) for drawing air through the spaces between the cells (13a). The cells (13a) are coupled by a manifold (13b) to a vacuum pump (18) which causes the oxygen molecules of the air to pass through the membranes to increase the oxygen content of the air in the cells (13a), the oxygen-enriched air being drawn by the suction pump (18) to the burner (2). Preferably, a heat exchanger (31) is provided for transferring thermal energy of the emissions from the combustion chamber (1) to the air drawn by the suction fan (12) to maintain the oxygen concentration constant for a given operating condition of the combustion chamber.
