  • Publication number: 20230278174
    Abstract: A basin wrench assembly for manipulating a nut on a faucet water line includes a handle which comprises a first section that slidably engages a second section such that the handle has a telescopically adjustable length. A wrench is pivotally coupled to the handle such that the wrench is pivotable along an axis that is perpendicularly oriented with a longitudinal axis of the handle. In this way the wrench can be positioned to engage a nut on a water line attached to a faucet beneath a counter. The wrench comprises a pair of jaws that is pivotally coupled to each other thereby facilitating each of the jaws to engage the nut.

  • Publication number: 20100095873
    Abstract: In a method for pretreating charges contaminated with carbon carriers such as, for instance, carbon-carrier-contaminated earths, soils, rocks or minerals having low calorific values for use in clinker kilns, the mentioned charges are introduced into a reactor (8) and heated or dried with gases. The heated gases are drawn off at temperatures below 1250° C., preferably between 700 and 900° C., and the heated or dried charge is separately discharged at temperatures between 500° C. and 1000° C., wherein the temperatures are set and maintained to stabilize the temperature distribution within the reactor (8) by controlling the supply of fresh air, the supply of water or water vapour, by controlling the feed rate of the charge and/or of process gases such as, e.g., tertiary air as well as, if required, by burning fuels. The gases drawn off from the reactor (8) are at least partially recirculated into the reactor (8) and/or supplied to a precalcining stage and/or a preheating stage of the clinker kiln (1).
