  • Adjustable casting mold
    Patent number: 6857464
    Abstract: An adjustable mold for direct chill casting of metals has longitudinally movable end walls which are clamped between the mold side walls during casting. Each end wall is secured to a sliding carriage which supports the end wall and allows it to be moved along the end portions of the side walls. The sliding suspender has a clamping mechanism which applies a clamping force to one or both of the side walls, the force being transversely directed through a center of the end wall. The side walls are pivotable relative to one another to allow clamping and unclamping of the end walls. Preferably, one end of each side wall is pivotable so as to transversely displace the opposite end of the side wall, with the pivoting ends of the respective side walls preferably being opposite one another across the mold.

  • Waste energy recovery system, including method of recovering waste energy from fluids, and pipes having thermally interrupted sections
    Patent number: 6823135
    Abstract: Heat exchanger particularly suited for transferring heat from a fluid transfer device to the environment, to another object, or to another heat transfer device, includes one or more insulating segments disposed along the fluid path. The insulated segments thermally interrupt adjacent sections of the fluid transfer device for preventing heat transfer along the length of the fluid transfer device; rather, heat is transferred outwardly away from each thermally interrupted or isolated section of the fluid transfer device. In the case where the thermally isolated section fluid transfer pipe is used for waste heat recovery, a further fluid transfer device may be provided adjacent the fluid transfer device. Each fluid transfer device may have respective thermally isolated sections for maximizing the temperature gradient and, hence, the heat transfer between adjacent fluid transfer devices.
