  • Patent number: 9285118
    Abstract: The present invention is a device that supplies the latent heat for vaporization of L.P. gases. The device for a supply of fuel vapor to a fuel powered device, comprising of a supply tank; a liquid bath having a temperature control system; a LPG flow line immersed inside the liquid bath; a heating system to heat the LPG; and a vaporizer control system comprising a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the liquid bath, the temperature sensor is connected to a solenoid valve in the vapor supply line, and wherein said temperature sensor shutting off the solenoid valve when the bath temperature drops below a predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 6755643
    Abstract: A vaporizer is connected to a liquid propane supply. The vaporizer contains a helical coil immersed in a bath. A pressure regulator at an inlet to the coil reduces the pressure and vaporizes part of the propane. A burner connected to the outlet of the vaporizer is used to heat the bath. Part of the vapor is returned to the supply to pressurize the supply. The main part of the vapor from the outlet is used to power a fuel powered device.

  • Patent number: 5218952
    Abstract: This invention describes a radiant heating unit, which can be used with a scarifier or patcher. The heating unit system is comprised of a supply means used for supplying a quantity of gaseous fuel at a predetermined pressure, a housing, and a layer of ceramic fiber with a mesh retaining layer on the upper and lower side thereof. A fuel-air mixture system is located in an upper aperture of the housing, which provides a combustible mixture to the housing chamber. This combustible mixture is eventually burnt at the bottom outer surface of the ceramic fiber layer to provide a hot radiant heating surface.

  • Patent number: 5193906
    Abstract: This invention describes a heating system for use with a mortar mixing unit. The heating system is comprised of a series of heat exchanging portions used to inhibit freezing of the materials used to prepare mortar in extremely cold weather conditions. The first heat exchanging portion is used to heat the water used to mix mortar. The second heat exchanging portion is used to warm the mixing unit, which contains the water, aggregate, and sand. The third heat exchanging portion is used to warm the aggregate, which is contained in a silo.

  • Patent number: 4601605
    Abstract: In a roadway surface reconditioning apparatus, for example, a scarifier for use with an asphalt or like bituminous roadway surface, a number of heaters of the luminous wall type are employed to direct large quantities of radiant heat downwardly towards the surface for softening it while travelling along the roadway. These heaters consist basically of porous fire bricks through which an air/propane mixture passes and on the surface of which it burns. Each heater also has porous side walls that project closer to the roadway surface than the main bricks and are supplied with air for forming a downward curtain of air to inhibit sideways escape of heat from the region beneath the heater. The heaters are assembled in banks that are spaced apart from each other in the direction of travel. This spacing can be adjusted. Each pair of adjacent banks is bridged by heat deflectors that help to provide heat soak areas between the heater banks.
