Abstract: A system that provides for simultaneous thermal regulation of both components of a two-component system, while maintaining their separation prior to introduction into a conventional static mixer element, in order to assure that the mixed fluid, when dispensed, is at the optimal temperature and viscosity. The thermal capacity can be adjusted by altering the configuration to increase or decrease the thermal transfer area as required for each specific application.

Abstract: A control system for devices driven by or utilizing decompressing air is provided. The system includes a supply of compressed air connected to a compressed air-utilizing device. A source of heated fluid is provided and is connected to a heat exchanger that transfers heat from the heated fluid to the compressed air. The compressed air is heated in the heat exchanger sufficiently that upon decompression the temperature of the device is not lowered to the ambient dew point.

Abstract: A modular decorator ink temperature control system for use with a blanket wheel, the blanket wheel having inker station configured with an inker station panel and at least one roller operatively mounted thereto. The modular decorator ink temperature control system includes a thermal transfer fluid conduit having an entry end distal to the blanket wheel and an exit end proximate to the blanket wheel with the thermal transfer fluid conduit in contact with the at least one roller and configured to convey at least one thermal transfer fluid therethrough. The modular decorator ink temperature control system also includes at least one control manifold device mounted on the inker station panel in operative communication with the thermal transfer fluid conduit.

Abstract: The viscosity feedback temperature control system provides a means for controlling the viscosity of a process fluid about a user-defined setpoint by varying the temperature of the fluid within a user-defined range to take advantage of the viscosity versus temperature characteristics inherent in all fluids.

Abstract: A temperature manipulated viscosity control module for stabilizing fluid viscosity in dispensing applications at (or near) the point-of-application. Connected to a central heating/cooling supply unit, the module both senses temperature and viscosity (and, in the case of waterborne materials, pH as well) and regulates the viscosity of the fluid being dispensed by manipulating the temperature of that fluid. This configuration is a combination of technologies applied together to maintain consistent temperature of the fluid and the sensors to assure that process conditions are consistent for measurement, control, and application.

Abstract: A profile correction module is comprised of a reinforced convex steel form accurately and firmly held in position to create a metering gap along the face of the pickup roller to control the liquid coating material that is applied to the pickup roller and subsequently transferred to the nip between the pickup and applicator rollers prior to being applied to the substrate or “strip”. By flushing stale material from the metering gap with fresh coating material, edge-to-edge temperature variations are eliminated resulting in a uniform film thickness across the width of the strip.

Abstract: This free-standing unit allows heat exchangers to be deep cleaned either in place or off line. Cleaning is performed by circulating cleaning solution at high velocity from an on-board reservoir through the heat exchanger and automatically reversing the direction of flow through the heat exchanger back and forth at a user selectable rate. Regardless of the direction of flow through the heat exchanger, the cleaning fluid is always routed back to the reservoir through a filter assembly to remove any debris flushed from the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A cover assembly (10) is provided and includes a flexible fabric cover (21) within which a plurality of elongate, hollow thermal transfer fluid profiles (12) is positioned. Each of the profiles includes an arcuate outer surface (13) adapted to conform with an exterior of a fluid conduit (20). The cover assembly may be fastened circumferentially about a fluid conduit to position and maintain the profiles in thermal contact therewith.

The system includes a supply of compressed air connected to a compressed air-utilizing device. A source of heated fluid is provided and is connected to a heat exchanger that transfers heat from the heated fluid to the compressed air. The compressed air is heated in the heat exchanger sufficiently that upon decompression the temperature of the device is not lowered to the ambient dew point. The system is particularly applicable to devices utilizing compressed air for the spraying of liquid materials.
