  • Publication number: 20110232696
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a compact heat exchanger for use in a mobile cleaning apparatus. The compact heat exchanger utilizes a water jacket, created by the annular space between a concentrically arranged internal housing and external housing. A radiator is enclosed within the internal housing. As super heated exhaust gas is supplied to the internal housing, heat is transferred to the surface of the internal housing before passing through the radiator. During operation of the mobile cleaning apparatus, incoming fluid, typically water, flows through an inlet and is directed through the water jacket and then the radiator for heating.

  • Publication number: 20110237373
    Abstract: A device and method of use of that device to automatically adjust the tension of a belt(s) used in a driven system is disclosed. The system includes at least one driving device or power source and at least one driven device. The system further includes a tensioning member that serves to continuously compensate for slack which naturally develops in the belt or belts during normal operation of the system, as well as preloading the device with the appropriate amount of tension. The device provides a manually operated adjustment which allows for user control of the tensioning member, as well as an indicator which displays the amount of elongation of a belt and/or the desired preloaded tension of the system, thus simplifying removal, application, and replacement of belts, etc.
