Abstract: A conveyor type ware washing machine uses a heat pump to reduce exhaust heat and to heat incoming water. A modulating valve is used to control incoming water flow through a heat exchanger of the heat pump. Processing circuitry automatically dynamically adjusts the modulating valve between a plurality of open states based on the sensed refrigerant head pressure of the heat pump, so that the refrigerant head pressure is maintained in a predefined range. The ware washing machine is efficient, and reduces the amount of heat exhausted to ambient. Related methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: The pump has a body having a heat sink on the body underside. An extension rises from the body. A guide is provided for a piston, which together move up and down relative to the body and extension. The pump is within a tank filled with heating liquid. The heating liquid is separated (directly or indirectly) from a gas cavity with a bladder. The pump can have a coolant cavity partially bordered by a bladder that separates the heating liquid from the gas. A coolant then flows through the cavity over the top of the bladder keeping it cool and preventing bladder degradation. A high temperature liquid system maintains the temperature of the heating liquid. A coolant system maintains the temperature of the coolant. A pressure equalization system maintains balance in pressure between the heating liquid and coolant. A steam system is provided as is a control system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling the heading of a mining machine while the mining machine performs a cutting operation. One system includes a cutting system and a set of left and right tracks of the mining machine. The system also includes a lidar sensor mounted to the mining machine. The system also includes an electronic processor configured to receive the data from the lidar sensor. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a current heading of the mining machine based on the data received from the lidar sensor and compare the current heading to a target heading of the mining machine. In response to the current heading not being different from the target heading of the mining machine by a predetermined amount, the electronic processor is configured to control the mining machine to adjust the current heading of the mining machine.
