Abstract: A continuous flow moisture analyzer (20) determines moisture content in a liquid sample material (46). The moisture analyzer (20) includes an injection system (44) for delivering the liquid sample material (46) at a controlled rate. The injection system includes an injector tube (48). An evaporator (52) has a first end (50) for receiving the injector tube (48) and a second end (56). The injector tube (148) provides the liquid sample material (46) to the evaporator (52) at the first end (50). A carrier gas inlet (54) is in fluid communication with the second end (56) of the evaporator (52) for providing a carrier gas (58) to the evaporator (52) at the second end (56). The carrier gas (58) absorbs moisture from the liquid sample material (46) in the evaporator (52). A relative humidity sensor (78) in fluid communication with the evaporator (52) detects the moisture in the carrier gas (58).

Abstract: A continuous flow moisture analyzer (20) includes a coaxial needle (34) having first and second needle portions (36, 38). The first needle portion (36) receives a carrier gas (24) and expels the carrier gas (24) through an output orifice (60). The second needle portion (38) has an input orifice (62) for receiving the carrier gas (24) expelled from the output orifice (60). A housing (40) encloses the output orifice (60) and the input orifice (62) when the moisture analyzer (20) is in a standby mode to obtain a baseline moisture content of the carrier gas (24) within the moisture analyzer (20). A bottle (48) retains a sample material (50). When the analyzer (20) is in an active mode, the coaxial needle (34) penetrates a septum (52) of the bottle (48) to position the output and input orifices (60, 62) in the bottle (48). The carrier gas (24), expelled from the output orifice (60), absorbs moisture from the sample material (50) in the bottle (48).

Abstract: A radial internal combustion engine comprises an engine housing and a plurality of piston-cylinder pairs arranged on the periphery of the housing. The piston-cylinder pairs are arranged in two rows, three cylinders in each row. A connecting rod connects each piston to the crankshaft axially disposed within the engine housing. The connecting rods terminate in an arcuate flange. The connecting rods in each row of cylinders lie in a common plane equally sharing the crankshaft journal bearing surface. Lubrication about the crankshaft journal is provided through an oil flow passage which extends through the crankshaft for lubricating the crankshaft journal an the valve train of the engine.
