Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive may include a silicone based pressure sensitive adhesive component, and an iron oxide filler mixture. The content of the iron oxide filler mixture may be at least about 0.5 wt. % and not greater than about 10.0 wt. % for a total weight of the pressure sensitive adhesive. The pressure sensitive adhesive may have a peel adhesion of at least about 600 g/in when measured at 25° C., and the pressure sensitive adhesive may further have a UL 94 rating of VTM-0, a UL 94 rating of V-0, or a UL 94 rating of both VTM-0 and V-0 when attached to a backing material.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to laser-markable insulation material and cable or wire assemblies containing such insulation material. In certain embodiments, the laser-markable insulation material can include a fluoropolymer and an inorganic laser-markable pigment. The pigment can have a mean crystal size in a range of about 0.4 microns to about 2 microns and/or a median particle size (d50) in a range of about 0.45 microns to about 2 microns. The insulation material can exhibit improved initial and heat-aged contrast ratios without diminishing the ability of a cable or wire containing the insulation material to meet industry standards for electric-arc tracking and propagation resistance.

Abstract: A cyclonic combustor comprising a combustion liner forming a combustion chamber having a generally cylindrical shape, a biomass feed inlet for receiving biomass particles under pressure, wherein the biomass feed inlet is formed so that the biomass particles are introduced into the ignition zone of the combustion chamber with a tangential component relative to the longitudinal axis of the combustion liner, and a plurality of air tuyeres formed through the combustion liner for receiving compressed air, wherein the plurality of air tuyeres are arranged to introduce the compressed air into the combustion chamber with a tangential component relative to the longitudinal axis of the combustion liner. A direct-fired biomass-fueled pressurized gas turbine system comprising a pressurized feed system, the cyclonic combustor, and a gas turbine. Methods of operating a cyclonic combustor and methods for direct firing a gas turbine.
