Patent number: 11235347Abstract: The present invention relates to coating of tubes, and more particularly to a system and method for coating and/or renovating deteriorated or pitted tubes to extend tube life and enhance performance. Using this system and method a thin coating is applied to the interior of a tube such that the coating is uniform in thickness and covers all regions of the tube. The coating material may be selected to minimize changes in heat transfer or may be selected to provide for the change in working fluid within the tube such that the working fluid does not negatively interact with the tube material.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: PLASTOCOR, INC.Inventor: Michael J. Horn

Patent number: 7270847Abstract: The present invention relates to the coating of tubes, and more particularly to a system and method for renovating the inner surface of deteriorated or pitted tubes to extend tube life and enhance performance. A method of the present invention includes first providing a coating material in a tube. A pig device is then positioned in the tube, the pig device being sized and orientated to disperse the coating material along the tube's inner service. The pig device is then motivated through the tube to apply the coating material to form a coating on the inner surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Plastocor, Inc.Inventor: Michael J.
