Publication number: 20160230987Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for adjusting a flow rate of gas fuel and injecting and supplying the gas fuel through a discharge hole includes an open portion having a larger diameter than the discharge hole and being communicated with a downstream end of the discharge hole, and a separation suppressing member placed in the open portion. The separation suppressing member is configured to suppress generation of separation of the gas fuel flow when the gas fuel flows out from the discharge hole into the open portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Applicant: AISAN KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Sadatsugu NAGATA

Publication number: 20160230989Abstract: A process gas abatement apparatus and method are disclosed. The process gas abatement apparatus comprises: a burner comprising: a combustion chamber operable to receive an effluent gas stream from a manufacturing process tool to be treated within the combustion chamber at a sub-atmospheric pressure, the combustion chamber being further operable to receive a fuel, oxidant and diluent, the fuel, oxidant and diluent controlling combustion within the combustion chamber to treat the effluent gas stream to produce a treated exhaust stream, the diluent being condensable in the treated exhaust stream. By providing a diluent in the form of, for example, an inert condensable, the volume gain within the combustion chamber is reduced, which reduces the volume of the exhaust stream and reduces the volumetric load on the second pump. The volume gain reduces because the diluent shifts phase in the exhaust stream, thereby effectively removing the contribution of the diluent to the volume of the exhaust stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2014Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventor: Andrew James SEELEY

Publication number: 20160230990Abstract: A method for cooling solid residues of a combustion process, which are deposited onto the conveying surface of a conveyor belt of a conveying device and are conveyed in the direction of a solid residue outlet, wherein during conveying heat is transferred from the solid residues to a gaseous coolant. The method is characterized in that the conveyor belt is acted upon by coolant only on its side oriented away from the conveying surface, the conveyor belt is essentially impermeable to the coolant and at least part of the coolant heated by contact with the conveyor belt is extracted on that side oriented away from the conveying surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Applicant: HITACHI ZOSEN INOVA AGInventors: Nicolas TRAN, Werner BRENNWALD

Publication number: 20160230992Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a safety and convenience system for a gas grill. The disclosed system can have a grill assembly, a sensor assembly, and a system controller. The grill assembly can include a grill body, a grill lid, a grilling surface, one or more burners, a gas feed line, a grill adjustment valve, and an igniter. The sensor assembly may include gas sensors, temperature sensors, and these sensors can reside in a single or multiple sensor housings. The system controller can be connected to the sensors and receive a gas sensor value and a temperature sensor value. Based on the gas sensor value and the temperature sensor value, the system controller can be able to indicating a condition of the grill to a user, or control a feature of the grill for convenience or safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: William Lawrence Sweet, Scott Michael Schroer, Alexander Donald Roe
