Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator is disclosed. The precipitatior comprises a conduit for the passage of particles in an air flow and means generating an electrostatic field substantially orthogonal to the air flow, and an ion supply, capable of charging said particles, in which the generating means comprise a point electrode and a two dimensional surface electrode, characterised in that the plane surface electrode comprises an ion source and the point electrode comprises a counter electrode and in that the counter electrode is earthed.

Abstract: A panel for use in an air handling unit including a skin, a fixture having a base, and the base having a surface. The base is interposed between opposed ends and opposed risers extending from the ends of the base in a direction away from the surface. The risers are secured to the skin to form an enclosed chamber between the skin and the fixture. An insulating material is then injected into the enclosed chamber.

Abstract: A roof panel for use in an air handling unit including a skin, and a fixture having a base. The base is interposed between opposed ends and opposed risers extending from the ends of the base in a direction away from the surface. The risers are secured to the skin to form an enclosed chamber between the skin and the fixture. An insulating material is then injected into the enclosed chamber. Substantially no standing liquid accumulates on the skin when the base is secured to the air handling unit framework.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cooling system for a transformer Cooling panels of a radiator are fluidly connected to the transformer. Plates are positioned adjacent to or toward the ends of the cooling panels to form an enclosed flow path thereby increasing the velocity of air therein.

Abstract: A temperature-indicating device for use with a barrier having a first side and an opposite second side, the device including a temperature sensitive means located at the first side of the barrier, a thermal conductor for transferring heat from the second side of the barrier to the temperature sensitive means, and a temperature indicator disposed on the first side of the barrier, the temperature indicator for indicating on the first side of the barrier a change in temperature occurring on the second side of the barrier.

Abstract: An apparatus for coating an optical fibre with a selected one of a plurality of different resins includes respective reservoirs for the resins, an applicator for applying a resin coating to the optical fibre and a distributor between the reservoirs and the applicator including a valve device which is operable for putting any selected one of the reservoirs in flow communication with the applicator. The valve device includes a first body defining a plurality of inlet passages each of which is interconnected to a respective reservoir by a respective inlet conduit and a second body defining an outlet passage which is interconnected to the applicator via an outlet conduit. A flow control device is disposed between the bodies and the bodies are relatively moveable for putting any selected one of the inlet passages in alignment with the outlet passage.
