  • Door Security Device
    Publication number: 20190003221
    Abstract: A device can include a door member mounted to a swinging door, a connector, and a fastener. The door member can include a slot open at the top and bottom and an outer face. A bore through the door member can align with a bottom of the slot. A first end of the connector can slide into the top of the slot so a first leg extends through the outer face and a second leg overlaps the soffit. When a fastener is in a first position, the fastener can extend through a bore in the door member and support the connector in the slot and block the connector from exiting the slot through the bottom. When the fastener is in a second position, the fastener does not block the slot and the connector is permitted to drop out of the slot through the bottom.

  • Flue gas recycle system with fixed orifices
    Patent number: 9982886
    Abstract: A system for providing combustion air and fuel gas to a premix burner includes a premix engine, a premix burner in fluid communication with an outlet of the premix engine, an exhaust flue, a flue gas recirculation line in fluid communication with the flue and an inlet of the premix engine, and a fresh air line in fluid communication with a source of fresh air and the inlet of the premix engine. A flue gas flow restrictor is installed in the flue gas recirculation line, and a fresh air flow restrictor is installed in the fresh air line. The flow restrictors are sized so that the premix engine, in operation, draws recycled flue gas and fresh air from the recycled flue gas line and fresh air line, respectively, in a predetermined proportion.

  • PULVERIZED FUEL-OXYGEN BURNER
    Publication number: 20170343212
    Abstract: A burner assembly combines oxygen and fuel to produce a flame. The burner assembly includes an oxygen supply tube adapted to receive a stream of oxygen and a solid fuel conduit arranged to extend through the oxygen tube to convey a stream of fluidized, pulverized, solid fuel into a flame chamber. Oxygen flowing through the oxygen supply tube passes generally tangentially through a first set of oxygen-injection holes formed in the solid fuel conduit and off-tangentially from a second set of oxygen-injection holes formed in the solid fuel conduit and then mixes with fluidized, pulverized, solid fuel passing through the solid fuel conduit to create an oxygen-fuel mixture in a downstream portion of the solid fuel conduit. This mixture is discharged into a flame chamber and ignited in the flame chamber to produce a flame.
