With Heating Or Cooling Means Patents (Class 55/338.1)
  • Patent number: 8936722
    Abstract: A method for assembling turbomachinery having combined particle separation device and flow regulating device is provided. The turbomachinery includes a casing; a compressor attached to an inside of the casing, the compressor having a shaft supported by bearings; and a cooling system mounted inside the casing and configured to cool the bearings of the compressor with a cooling fluid. The cooling system includes a particle separation device configured to separate particles from the cooling fluid, and a flow regulation device that fluidly communicates with the particle separation device without contacting the particle separation device. The flow regulation device is disposed adjacent to the particle separation device within a wall of the casing.

  • Patent number: 7806073
    Abstract: A system and method is shown for coating an article, including a chamber that can be at least partially open to surrounding air to allow free flow of air through the chamber and recovery of vapor produced during a coating operation within the chamber. The chamber can include a support surface that is adapted to support the article during a coating process, and a coating device within the chamber can be adapted to selectively apply a coating of a fluorocarbon in a fluorinated solvent to at least a potion of an article supported on the support surface.

  • Patent number: 6793701
    Abstract: An air-liquid separating apparatus for compressed air includes a cooling device adapted to be connected to an air source via a first transfer tube. The cooling device includes a liquid cooling tank filled with cooling agent and a cooling tube spiraled in the liquid cooling tank for condensing and separating the mist in the compressed air. An air-liquid separating tank is connected to the liquid cooling tank, wherein the compressed air is cooled and released again in the air-liquid separating tank. The air-liquid separating tank includes a backflow tube connected to the air-liquid separating tank for outputting the compressed air. The backflow tube is provided to carry the heat from the cooling device.

  • Patent number: 6368389
    Abstract: Phthalic acid anhydride is recovered from a gas stream containing phthalic acid anhydride vapors by passing the gas stream upwardly through a vertical tube so that the gases expand at the orifice at the upper end of the tube and mix with granules entrained above the tube by fluidizing gas of a fluidized bed of phthalic acid anhydride granules around the tube. The tube, kept free from phthalic acid anhydride granules and the fluidized bed, is indirectly cooled.
