  • Patent number: 5827013
    Abstract: An anode cable installment system in which the apparatus may comprise a plow for creating a tunnel; a conduit for delivering a linear anode to the tunnel; and a chute disposed proximate the conduit, the chute having a non-metallic inner surface, preferably an epoxy film layer having a lower coefficient of friction than steel. The coke breeze may be delivered to the tunnel by passing it over the non-metallic inner surface of the chute; and to the annular space in the tunnel around the linear anode to provide a horizontal encasement or column for the linear anode with reduced void spaces and increased density.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 27, 1998
    Assignee: Mears/CPG

  • Patent number: 4698982
    Abstract: An air-conditioning unit which can be converted from a horizontal air flow configuration to a vertical air flow configuration (or vice-versa) at the installation site without any additional parts or special tools. A reversible drain pan and return (intake) air panel forms part of the air-conditioning unit adjacent to a slant-mounted cooling coil, and may be demounted, reoriented and remounted so as to move the return (intake) air panel from one end of the unit to one side of the unit (or vice-versa). The air-conditioning unit is then tilted 90.degree. so as to position the drain pan under the cooling coil.

  • Patent number: 4551989
    Abstract: A lubricant distribution system for refrigeration units having a plurality of parallel compressors which system maintains the proper level of lubricant in the compressors during operation. The system comprises compressor suction inlet lines which connect each of the compressors of the system with a common suction header located at an elevation below the suction inlets on the compressors. The common suction header is connected to the evaporator outlet by a conduit which extends from the evaporator to the common suction header. The compressors suction inlet lines are sized to provide a suction gas mass velocity therethrough which is sufficient to carry lubricant into the compressors as an entrained liquid even when the compressors are operating at partial capacity.
