Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for providing a marble game. The system for providing the marble game may provide a game board formed by aligning blocks, support a configuration of an occupied city block group by grouping city blocks in an identical color or city blocks aligned adjacent to each other, when a city block set as the occupied city block group is occupied associated with a first terminal, the system for providing the marble game may increase a toll by applying a weight to the toll of the city block, increase a subtraction with respect to an amount held by a second terminal and an accumulation with respect to an amount held by the first terminal, and provide a tension to a game.

Abstract: A back-up boiler system for a solar thermal power plant (201) for transferring solar energy into electricity, said back-up boiler system comprising a combustion chamber (70) and a convection section (80) in fluid connection with said combustion chamber (70), wherein in the convection section (80) at least a first heat exchanger (92) is provided for heating a molten salts mixture of the solar thermal power plant and a second heat exchanger (90) for pre-heating boiler feed water of the solar thermal power plant, wherein the back-up boiler system (25) is configured to allow selection between only providing heat to the first heat exchanger (92), only providing heat to the second heat exchanger (90) and providing heat to both heat exchangers (90, 92), preferably dependent on availability of solar radiation and/or dependent on demand of power generation.

Abstract: A high-efficiency hot-water boiler for a heating system of a building is provided. The boiler includes a boiler enclosure that contains a furnace area compartment within an insulated sealed casing, a first watertube compartment within a sealed casing, a second watertube compartment within a sealed casing, and an air-to-air preheat exchanger within a sealed casing. A plurality of separate, closely-spaced watertubes extends within each of the compartments and provides paths for working fluid to flow through the compartments for purposes of transferring heat to the working fluid. A burner is located within the furnace area compartment for combusting an air/gas mixture.

Abstract: Provided is a boiler equipped with a burner capable of realizing a reduction in emission of harmful substances using a liquid fuel such as kerosene or A-type heavy oil. A burner (20) is equipped with a nozzle part (22) spraying a liquid fuel into a combustion chamber (16) in a boiler body (10) formed by using a plurality of water tubes; provided around the nozzle part (22) is an air jetting part (27) constructed to control flow of air jetted from the air jetting part (27) so as to avoid short-passing of a gas produced by the burner (20) through a gas discharge port provided in the boiler body (10).

Abstract: A heating system for heating liquids, stored in a tank at low ambient temperature, has a heating chamber with an inlet and an outlet for convectively flowing liquid past a flameless heater. Cold liquid is drawn through an inlet line, from the tank near its base and into a heating chamber, absorbs radiant energy from the heater as it travels therethrough. Heated liquid is circulated into the tank through an upper outlet from the heating chamber and back into the tank. Preferably, the heated liquid reenters the tank through a floating discharge flexibly connected to the upper outlet so as to remain dynamically in contact with the liquid at all times, thus avoiding airlocks which would interrupt the convective flow of liquid through the heating system.

Abstract: A method for upgrading a boiler is provided. When operating at a first capacity, the boiler is used such that an open space is kept in radiation communication with a firebox. The open space is also kept as empty. A first set of water circulation tubes are connected to the boiler cylinder in connection with the ascending tubes. When the boiler is operated at a second capacity, which is higher than the first capacity, at least one additional part is arranged in the open space to expand the basic super heater arrangement. Additionally, or alternatively at the second capacity, a second set of water circulation tubes may be connected to the boiler cylinder in connection with the ascending tubes. The second set of water circulation tube has a capacity exceeding that of the first set of water circulation tubes.
