  • Spiral feed and discharge manifold for electrolytic cells
    Publication number: 20020005362
    Abstract: A bipolar electrolytic cell can include, as a manifold, a spiral manifold assembly. This spiral manifold assembly will comprise a first outer assembly member, a second outer assembly member and a center assembly member. The overall structure can provide reduced loss of metal or gas and minimal loss of electrical current during an electrolytic process.

  • Ceramic fiber insulation structure with readily repairable perimeter insulation
    Patent number: 5332116
    Abstract: An insulation structure such as a cover provides desirable heat insulation for a heated metal container such as a ladle. The insulation structure is assembled in a manner affording ease of subsequent repair in high-wear areas of ceramic fiber insulation. The ceramic fiber insulation is at least partly in bundled form and the bundles are generally positioned so that fiber blankets are oriented in different directions in the structure, yet the fiber is all in snug fit and achieves highly efficient insulation.
