Abstract: An apparatus for converting synthetic resin into oil thermally decomposes the synthetic resin by heating it in a heating vessel, thereby producing oil. The apparatus includes the heating vessel and a heating furnace. The synthetic resin fed into the heating vessel is stirred. At least the lower part of the heating vessel is disposed in the heating furnace. By providing a radiating fin on the outer surface of the upper part of the heating vessel disposed outside the heating furnace or providing a heat-insulation on the outer surface of the upper part of the heating vessel disposed in the heating furnace, the temperature rise in the upper part of the heating vessel is limited.
Abstract: An improved one-piece metal jacket for insulated pipe elbows, bends and/or turns having a central metal spine spaced apart along which a plurality of opposed pairs of metal fingers extend sufficiently to overlap, longitudinally and traversely forming a weatherproof covering and fasteners to hold the fingers in place.
Abstract: An asbestos-free heat settable composition includes a fibrous reinforcement comprising aramid fibres in the form of a carded or needled non-woven web or felt, or a loosely woven or knitted fabric.
Abstract: A heat shield for hot vertical pipes and, in particular, coke oven ascension pipes. This heat shield includes a lower, open-bottomed cylindrical housing section which peripherally encloses the pipe. Vertically projecting from this housing is an arcuate wall which is spaced from the pipe. The housing is internally partitioned into a warmer space adjacent the pipe and a cooler space remote from the pipe so that a heat dissipating upward draft is established in the housing and between the pipe and the vertical arcuate wall.
Abstract: A heating boiler comprises an outer housing with a cylindrical wall in the housing extending from one end thereof and defining therewithin a primary fire chamber. A cylindrical fire space wall portion is radially spaced outwardly of the cylindrical fire wall and extends along the length of the fire wall and has a secondary portion which extends axially beyond the length of the cylindrical wall and has a greater diameter than the cylindrical wall and defines therein a secondary fire chamber which communicates with the primary fire chamber. The housing also contains a wall spaced radially inwardly of its interior which defines a chamber water space between the wall and the fire space wall and also a hot water tank between the wall and the interior of the housing.
Abstract: A gas generator for operation on a fuel of fine-grained coal which includes a steam boiler, a combustion boiler and a stack leading from the combustion. chamber to the steam boiler. The steam boiler is provided with a slanting bottom portion for the discharge of fly ash and slag. The stack from the combustion chamber to the boiler is composed of a gas outlet pipe attached to the combustion chamber and a gas inlet pipe leading to the boiler. The gas outlet and gas inlet pipes are connected by attaching means. The gas inlet pipe has a double wall of which the inner wall with its top extends freely into the slanting bottom portion of the boiler and thus is adapted for axial heat expansion. The outer wall is provided with a heat expansion compensator and is connected with its top end to the said slanting bottom of the boiler and with its bottom end to the connecting means between the gas inlet and gas outlet pipes. The inner wall of the gas inlet pipe may be in the form of a jacket for holding a cooling water.
