Abstract:
A catalytic fragrance burner assembly, comprising: a porous core of sintered material; a catalyst, deposited on or around the core; and a wick, in communication with the porous core, and arranged to draw fuel to the core.
Abstract:
A burner assembly for a fireplace, comprising a fuel-metering plate, a fuel-delivery plenum and a dividing plate. The fuel metering plate has tines that form a combed structure in an uppermost portion of the fuel-metering plate, the combed structure extending along a long dimension of the fuel-metering plate. The fuel-delivery plenum has a fuel chamber and the fuel-delivery plenum being coupled to the fuel-metering plate such that the fuel chamber extends along the long dimension of the fuel metering plate. The dividing plate is located between the fuel-metering plate and the fuel-delivery plenum. The dividing plate has a slotted opening that extends along the long dimension of the fuel metering plate, the slotted opening being in fluid communication with individual channels between the tines and with the fuel chamber.
Abstract:
A method for working or repairing a combustor wall panel that may be damaged is disclosed. The method comprises providing a supplemental body to a combustor float wall panel, and attaching at least one cooling pin to the supplemental body.
Abstract:
A low-cost shaft member for hydrodynamic bearing apparatuses restores the pressure balance in a thrust bearing gap formed on both axial sides of the flange portion in an early stage. A shaft material integrally having a shaft portion and a flange portion with a through-hole between both end faces of the flange portion is formed in a common forging step. As a result, the through-hole is formed to open to an inner diameter side of the bearing gaps avoiding the thrust bearing gaps formed on both end faces of the flange portion of the shaft member as a finished product.
Abstract:
A combustor assembly includes a support structure and at least one combustor liner panel selectively attached to the support structure. The combustor liner panel includes an uncooled ceramic portion, a cooled ceramic portion and a support that receives the cooled ceramic portion.
Abstract:
A cooktop surface is a high dielectric strength surface in which an opening is provided to receive a burner assembly. A surface mount igniter assembly extends through the same opening and terminates adjacent a perimeter of the burner assembly. The surface mount igniter assembly includes an electrode having a first end extending through the burner opening, an intermediate portion received in a ceramic insulator, and a terminal, second end disposed adjacent the burner perimeter. The ceramic insulator preferably has an opening edge slot to facilitate receipt of the electrode therein, and the ceramic insulator faces the dielectric cooktop surface to fully insulate around the electrode.
Abstract:
Provided is a heat sink clip for fastening a heat sink on a printed circuit board (PCB). The heat sink clip includes two hooks and a wire clip. The two hooks are inversely fixed to the PCB at two opposite sides of the heat sink. The wire clip includes a pressing wire pressing the heat sink, two pairs of deforming wires extending from the lateral of the pressing wire along two radial directions of the pressing wire and away from the PCB, and two engaging wires engaging with the respective hooks such that the deforming wires are bent towards the PCB.
Abstract:
A combustor is provided for a turbine engine. The combustor includes a first liner having a first hot side and a first cold side; a second liner having a second hot side and a second cold side, the second hot side and the first hot side forming a combustion chamber therebetween. The combustion chamber is configured to receive an air-fuel mixture for combustion therein. The combustor further includes an insert having a body portion extending through the first liner and terminating at a tip, the body portion configured to direct air flow into the combustion chamber. The insert further includes a cooling hole defined in the body portion and configured to direct a first portion of the air flow toward the tip as cooling air.
Abstract:
A gas burner assembly for connection to a source of gas is provided. The gas burner assembly includes a burner body defining an opening therethrough and a generally circular outer periphery. The outer periphery includes a recess therein. The gas burner additionally includes a bracketing unit secured to the burner body and including a igniter holder and at least one igniter being concentric about a vertical axis and positioned within at least one of the recess and the igniter holder. The igniter includes an ignition element that is adjustably positioned to provide an optimal radial distance from the burner body, and wherein the gas burner assembly is configured to operatively accommodate a variety of igniter styles.
