Abstract: A charging device and method for injecting a non-volatile liquid such as oil or stop-leak into a refrigeration system through a service port, uses a hollow pressure container partly filled with the liquid using system refrigerant as the pressurizing gas. The container has a fitting with a Schrader valve that opens when the fitting is coupled to the service port. The liquid is injected by gas pressure created in the container after coupling. The container may inject the liquid through either the high-side service port or the low-side service port.

Abstract: A system for purifying a refrigerant (ammonia, Freon, etc.) puts impure liquid refrigerant into a container with a liquid chemical that reacts chemically with the impurity (water, acid, etc.) to form a solid or liquid. The vaporization temperatures of the chemical and the reaction product is substantially higher than that of the refrigerant. The chemical does not react with the refrigerant. The impure refrigerant is added to the liquid decontaminant in such a way as to cause vigorous mixing so that efficient reaction occurs between the liquid decontaminant and one or more of the impurities. The refrigerant is allowed to evaporate out of the container. Since the reaction product stays in the container, the refrigerant vapor is very pure. The vaporization temperature of the reaction product is higher than that of the impurity, so that the purity of the refrigerant vapor is much greater than the vapor resulting from straight distillation.

Abstract: An improved sealant for sealing leaks in pipelines and refrigeration and air conditioning circuits includes a partially hydrolized tetra methoxy silane along with another organo silane sealant. The use of a partially hydrolized tetra alkoxy silane, such as partially hydrolized tetramethoxy silane, in place of an unhydrolized tetra alkoxy silane, gives a stronger and tougher and more elastic seal, and the partially hydrolized material is less toxic than the unhydrolized material.

Abstract: A system to remove moisture chemically from refrigerant fluid being recaptured, recycled or reclaimed comprises adding an appropriate organosilane to the refrigerant being treated in the reclamation/recycling apparatus.

Abstract: Refrigeration fluid compositions for refrigeration and air-conditioning circuits include a usual refrigerant fluid together with a liquid, hydrolyzable organosilane which exists as a liquid in the liquid phase of the air conditioning or refrigeration circuit, and which is capable of removing moisture from the interior of the circuit without forming a solid upon hydrolyzation.

Abstract: Refrigeration fluid compositions for refrigeration and air-conditioning circuits include a usual refrigerant fluid together with a liquid, hydrolyzable organosilane which remains in the liquid phase throughout the air-conditioning circuit, and which is capable of removing moisture from the interior of the circuit and sealing leaks.

Abstract: Refrigeration fluid compositions for refrigeration and air conditioning circuits include a usual refrigerant fluid together with an organosilane monomer which is capable of sealing leaks in the circuit in both the vapor and liquid phases.

Abstract: Leaks in a vessel or pipeline or the like, adapted for containing a fluid, are sealed by means of a volatilized polymerizable organosilane comprising a mercaptosilane, an acyloxysilane, or an alkoxysilane taken on conjunction either with acetic acid anhydride or an amine, or mixtures thereof, the organosilane being supplied to the interior of the vessel or pipeline under sufficient pressure and for a sufficient period of time to permit contact and chemical reaction thereof in the presence of moisture or sand at the situs of the leak to provide a solid polysiloxane seal.

Abstract: A thermonuclear reactor of the TRISOPS type wherein plasma vortex structures are generated by coaxial theta pinch guns, the plasma vortex structures being compressed and amplified by secondary compression provided by the use of compression coils acting through a stabilized collapsing Lithium or FLIBE, or other suitable molten liner. The molten metal liner is deposited on a refractory metal mesh held normally adjacent the inside surface of a suitable vacuum chamber. This mesh is held near the inside surface of the vacuum chamber by an articulated collapsible cable assembly which is collapsible toward the center line of the chamber, and after collapse returns the mesh to an expanded configuration adjacent the wall of the chamber.
