Abstract: Provided is a substrate processing apparatus that includes: a rotary joint including a rotary unit that rotates together with the rotation of the head unit, a fixing unit that is provided around the rotary unit, and a sealing unit that seals a gap between the rotary unit and the fixing unit; and an outlet pipe through which the quenching water is discharged. A first flow passage through which a gas passes and a second flow passage through which the quenching water passes are formed in the rotary joint, and the second flow passage is isolated from the first flow passage by the sealing unit. One end of the outlet pipe communicates with an outlet port of the second flow passage of the rotary joint, and the other end of the outlet pipe is opened to atmosphere at a position lower than the outlet port of the second flow passage.

Abstract: A fitting for forming a double-walled tube includes an inner fitting having a first inner weld lip, a second inner weld lip, and an inner body extending from the first inner weld lip to the second inner weld lip and having an outer surface with a first threading. The fitting also includes an outer fitting having a first outer weld lip, a second outer weld lip, and an outer body extending from the first outer weld lip to the second outer weld lip and having an inner surface with a second threading that is configured to mate with the first threading.

Abstract: Illustrated and described is an apparatus for connecting double jacketed pipes, comprising two fixed flanges and a locking element for connecting the fixed flanges axially; the fixed flanges respectively comprising an inner ring and an outer ring connected in a torque-proof manner to the inner ring; an inner pipe being assigned to each of the inner rings and a jacket pipe being assigned to each of the outer rings, and the fixed flanges respectively having between the inner ring and the outer ring at least one axial bore hole spaced apart from one another by an annular space. In order to achieve easy fitting of the coupling with double pipes, the pipes of which can not be displaced axially relative to one another, it is proposed to arrange an axially displaceable telescopic pipe at least between one of the outer rings and the jacket pipe assigned to it.

Abstract: A device for connection of a coolant feed to a roller, especially for continuous casting plants, is arranged in that the roller is mounted by journals in bearing blocks in rolling bearings and is supplied with coolant by way of axial bores through the journals. The device includes a flange with an elastic sleeve that is fixable thereon. A first sealing element has a first sealing surface that is fixable on the elastic sleeve and is rotatable therewith. A second sealing element has a second sealing surface engagable with the first sealing surface and is fixed to, supported by or integrated into a bearing block cover fixed on the bearing block for covering the roller bore and the roller bearings. An axial bore penetrates the elastic sleeve and the bearing block cover and permits feeding of coolant into the interior of the roller. The sealing surfaces of the sealing elements are perpendicular to the rotation axis.

Abstract: A fluid line assembly is disclosed that includes an outer fluid line and an inner fluid line disposed substantially within the outer fluid line. The inner and outer fluid lines each include a slip joint. In an embodiment of the invention, at least one of the slip joints includes a reservoir in communication with the interior of the corresponding fluid line. Among other things, the reservoir is suitable for receiving fluid from the corresponding fluid line as the fluid line assembly is contracted and expelling fluid into the corresponding fluid line as the fluid line assembly is extended. In another embodiment of the invention, the inner and outer fluid lines include a ball joint assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage structure having a fluid transfer boom for transfer of cryogenic liquids such as liquified natural gas (LNG) from a first storage structure to a vessel. The boom has two arms which are rotatably connected at their first ends via a swivel joint. In one embodiment a liquified natural gas duct is supported within the first and second arms which form a gas tight housing around the liquified natural gas duct. The transfer boom according to the present invention provides a redundant containment system wherein the LNG duct is supported by the structurally strong and self-supporting transfer boom which confines the natural gas in case of a leak in the inner LNG duct. In a further embodiment the transfer boom comprises seven swivel joints in total such that rotation in all directions is possible when the vessel is moored to the storage structure and has to cope with relative motions of roll, pitch, yaw, heave, sway and surge.
