  • Thermally controlled combustion system
    Patent number: 9709271
    Abstract: Contemplated configurations and methods are presented for effectively controlling the temperature in an oxy-fuel combustion system. Contemplated systems preferably introduce water independent of the fuel and oxygen into the combustion chamber. Water is injected through one or more nozzles, wherein water is atomized or sprayed, creating boundary layer cool zones in a boiler system and wherein water is recovered.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2017
    Assignee: Fluor Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Dennis W. Johnson, James H. Brown, Bo Oscarsson, Jon Peeples, Dennis Malone, Randy Grantz

  • Method for coupling a conduit to a fitting
    Patent number: 7694405
    Abstract: A method for coupling a conduit to a fitting. The method includes providing a fitting having a body and a passageway extending through the fitting body, inserting at least a portion of the fitting body within at least a portion of a collar, and compressing at least a portion of the collar around at least a portion of the fitting body such that the fitting body is not internally supported from within the passageway.

  • Method and apparatus for coupling a conduit
    Patent number: 6922655
    Abstract: A method for predictive analysis of the performance and reliability of an assembly includes measuring at least one force associated with construction of the assembly, and comparing the measured force to a predetermined expected force range, wherein the predetermined expected force range is determined by measuring at least one force associated with the construction of a plurality of similar assemblies, and determining an average force profile for the plurality of assemblies based on the plurality of measurements taken.
