    摘要: A matrix in a rotating rotor prevents or inhibits formation of waves in a liquid ring. The matrix may be located in first and/or second channel sections defined by the rotor, liquid passing from the first to the second channel section; and a turbine may have a scoop removing liquid from the second section, proximate ends of barriers defined by the matrix.The matrix includes grooves between the barriers to communicate liquid generally parallel to an axis defined by the rotor. The grooves have end openings and may be closed in a direction toward that axis.

    摘要: One or more rigid sealing segments are attached to pipe end sections and the assembly lined to form a fluid-resistant joint. A segment surface forms the primary sealing interface of lined pipe sections without the need for a conventional removable liner edge seal. The lining process and configuration sealably bonds the liner to the fluid-resistant sealing segment and to the non-fluid-resistant pipe. The manner of bonding both avoids (or limits) liner stress and covers the non-fluid-resistant material of the pipe. In an alternative embodiment, the sealing segments are engaged at mating threaded surfaces, the mated threads providing a single primary sealing and engagement interface. Redundant liner end sealing may also be accomplished by a sandwiched deformable material if added reliability of sealing harsh fluids is desired. In another embodiment, portions of the rigid sealing segments are slidably mounted relative to each other and the primary seal interface is temperature actuated.

    摘要: Steam is produced from aqueous brine, by a process that employs hot fluid, nozzle means and rotary separator means. Process steps include:(a) transferring heat from said hot fluid to said brine,(b) passing the heated brine in pressurized state to the nozzle means for flow therethrough, and expanding the flow therein thereby to form steam and liquid droplets, and(c) causing said expanded flow to rotate the rotary separator means for forming a layer of said brine on the separator means and accompanied by steam separation and for subsequent removal.The liquid from the rotating layer and/or the separated steam may be used to drive turbine means; the hot fluid may comprise combustion products from a combustion source; and several stages of separators may be employed.

    摘要: A method is provided for protecting flow-conducting elements, such as pipe, fittings, valves, and vessels which are constructed of austenitic and duplex stainless steel alloy materials and which are used in hot geothermal brine service from stress cracking caused by small amounts of the brine leaking onto exterior surfaces of such flow-conducting elements. According to the method, residual stress regions of the flow-conducting elements are thermally-sprayed with a metal such as mild steel, aluminum, magnesium, or zinc, which is anodic relative to the stainless steel, to provide a metal coating having a preferred thickness of between about 10 mils and about 20 mils, the preferred metal to be thermally-sprayed onto the stainless steel being mild steel. A metallized article made by the present method is provided.

    摘要: A valve of special usefulness in handling solids-containing or solids-producing fluids comprises a floating valve seat comprised of inner and outer rings, the outer ring being fixed within the valve body and the inner ring being urged directly from the outer ring by one or more springs against a gate element controlling the flow of fluids through the valve. The springs are housed within chambers provided by aligned cavities in the inner and outer rings while similarly aligned notches house a bellows or accordian shaped flexible metal seal. The flexible metal seal is in contact with the fluid but prevents entry of fluid between the rings to the spring; thus, the action of the inner and outer rings is not impeded by solids depositing from the fluid.
