  • WASHING SYSTEM FOR CLEANING A MOVING WEB
    Publication number: 20160107199
    Abstract: A washing system for cleaning a moving web includes an array of a plurality of stationary nozzles arranged in sets controlled by a control valve and operated in groups. The array includes sufficient nozzle sets each having a spray width of from 5% to 50% of the web width, such that the combined spray width of all nozzle sets is necessary and sufficient to cover substantially the entire web width with cleaning spray. Groups of valves may be operated such that some nozzle sets are turned on while other remain off, thus conserving washing fluids. The nozzles operate at pressures of 1500 to 3500 psi, or 2000 to 3000 psi. Preferably the web is a continuous loop web.

  • Glass fiberizer with ignition system
    Patent number: 3936286
    Abstract: A fiberizer with an ignition system is provided. The fiberizer includes an annular combustion chamber with a downwardly directed annular slot positioned to direct the hot products of combustion toward a fiber spinner. The fiberizer has a plurality of radiant cup burners disposed uniformly therearound in an upper portion of the chamber. An ignition burner is located between two of the radiant cup burners and directs a long ignition flame therebetween. The ignition system includes a spark plug for igniting an air-gas mixture in an end of the ignition burner and controls are designed to supply the air-gas mixture to the burner and to provide a spark for the spark plug simultaneously.
