  • Firetube scraper
    Patent number: 10222147
    Abstract: A firetube scraper device comprising: at least one carriage assembly mounted on the firetube; a drive line and drive means for displacing the carriage assembly longitudinally along the firetube; wherein said carriage assembly surrounding the entire circumference of the firetube and comprising at least one row of scraper fins, each of said scraper fins having an inner surface adapted to frictionally engage an outer firetube surface defined by at least an upper portion of the surface of the firetube exposed to contaminants deposited onto a firetube surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Dual axis rotor
    Patent number: 9777729
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns an advanced nutating positive displacement device having a high power to mass ratio and low production cost. This device in one example forms an exemplary pump as will be discussed in detail. The examples disclosed herein are of the rotary positive displacement type, but in a class by themselves. The devices are formed by a nutating rotor having a face comprising lobes and valleys, and a fixed stator also having a face with lobes and valleys. The face of the rotor opposes and cooperates with the face of the stator. The opposing faces define chambers that change volume with rotation of the rotor.
