Abstract: A liquid-to-vapor conversion device includes a chamber having an opening connected to a liquid intake, a pressure relief opening, and a vapor outlet. The device also includes a flow controller arranged at the level of the liquid intake, and a burst disk installed at the level of the pressure relief opening. Further, the device includes pressure-limiting means arranged at the level of the liquid intake. The pressure-limiting means is configured to decrease the flow rate in the liquid intake when the pressure in the liquid intake exceeds a threshold value smaller than a bursting pressure of the burst disk.

Abstract: A product warming apparatus with at least one product holding container having a bottom surface. An enclosure includes at least one opening configured to receive the product holding container. A heat radiating plate is provided in thermal communication with and configured to receive heat from a heating element. The heat radiating plate includes a top surface disposed adjacent the bottom surface of the product holding container with the top surface of the heat radiating plate being spaced apart from the bottom surface of the product holding container to define a gap therebetween. A thermostatic controller is in thermal communication with the heat radiating plate for controlling a flow of heat to the heat radiating plate.

Abstract: A railing mounting device for mounting railings to concrete slab walls includes a stanchion and an anchor insert. The stanchion is releasably mountable to the anchor insert. The stanchion is elongate and extends longitudinally between opposite first and second ends. The second end has a mounting member rigidly extending therefrom for sliding snug releasably securable mating engagement in a corresponding cavity in the anchor insert. The anchor insert is rigidly mountable into a concrete wall panel by flanges, fins or the like. The mounting member lies generally within a first plane containing the first and second ends. The first end is laterally offset in the first plane relative to the second end so as to extend over the mounting member in the first plane. Rail mounts are mountable to the stanchion towards the first end so as to mount rails to the stanchion offset relative to the second end.

Abstract: In a system for controlling a number of central heating boilers of large capacity having means for switching-off each boiler when the flow temperature reaches a predetermined maximum, the temperature at which each boiler is switched on again can be automatically varied in dependence upon the outside temperature in such a manner that as the outside temperature rises the boiler is switched on at progressively lower boiler flow temperatures, thus increasing the length of the boiler cycles. This is achieved by a boiler cycling controller which receives signals from temperature detecting devices located externally of the building and in the water flow and return lines and is operable automatically to vary the point at which the boiler is switched on.

Abstract: A hydraulic expansion temperature sensor is provided with such a large surface, by a spiral, meander-like or similar coiling of its sensing tube, that it has an extremely fast reaction time. The sensing tube forms a structural unit with a flat support, which on the one hand shields the sensing tube and on the other tightly seals the opening necessary for fitting the temperature sensor in a container wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to a remote control temperature sensor having a capsule containing an expansible material and a capillary tube which connects the capsule to a radiator valve or the like. The temperature sensor has a housing in which the capsule in rotatably mounted and the housing is a wall where the temperature is to be monitored. The capillary tube is wound around the capsule and is dispensible therefrom any desired distance less than the length of the tube to the radiator valve to which the sensor is to be connected.
