  • Publication number: 20240359996
    Abstract: Methods and systems for producing ammonia, urea, and UAN are described herein. The methods can include providing a hydrocarbon feed stock and an oxygen-containing stream and reacting the hydrocarbon feed stock with the oxygen-containing stream to provide a syngas containing carbon dioxide and blue hydrogen. The methods can also include electrolyzing water to provide green hydrogen and blending the blue hydrogen with the green hydrogen to provide a blended hydrogen. The blended hydrogen can be introduced to an ammonia synthesis system to provide an ammonia product, which can be further processed to provide urea and/or UAN. The ratio of green to blue hydrogen in the blended hydrogen can be based on available green credits.

  • Publication number: 20240200329
    Abstract: A support assembly supports a hub coupled to a crossbar. The hub adjustably supports a sprinkler, e.g., in a ceiling. Clamp assemblies are arranged and clamped on opposite sides of the crossbar to couple the support assembly to span two parallel T-bars of the ceiling. The clamp assembly comprises a carriage, a clamp, and a saddle. The carriage defines a tab comprising a first aperture and a back panel defining a second aperture adapted to support the crossbar, the hub, and the sprinkler. A lateral section of the carriage extends between the tab and the back panel. The lateral section comprises a pivoting slot and a bent end. The clamp comprises projections, a void, and a bent clasp. The saddle comprises a stem interposed between first and second flanges with orifices adapted to support the crossbar and align with the apertures in the carriage.

  • Patent number: 11621611
    Abstract: An electric machine having a housing with the rotor and stator disposed within the housing. The housing defines at least one housing opening allowing the inflow of air into the housing. A baffle is mounted on the housing and controls the inflow of air into the housing opening. The baffle member defines an inlet in communication with the ambient air, an outlet in communication with the housing opening, and a passageway extending from the inlet to the outlet. The baffle defines at least one impact surface within the passageway for changing the direction of air flow between the inlet and the outlet and the baffle further defines a drain port wherein the passageway directs moisture collecting on the impact surface to the drain port where it is discharged from the baffle. The electric motor may be an axial flow air-cooled alternator having a fan for generating the air flow.
