Abstract:
Refuse containing combustible components of variable caloric content is completely burned in a furnace having a vertical shaft for a combustion zone and a grate through which molten incombustibles and gaseous products of combustion are discharged downward into a pit. Annular streams of preheated air are injected inwardly and downwardly into the mass of refuse on the grate. Gaseous combustion products in the pit are continuously analyzed for the presence of free oxygen or incompletely burned combustibles. Combustion air is caused to travel through a thinner layer of refuse by injecting it at a lower point if combustion is not complete, or through a thicker layer of refuse by injection at a higher level if excess free oxygen is present. Regulation of the level of injection is achieved by control means connected to the analyzer and to valves in the air inlet lines.
Abstract:
In this method hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide are reacted with each other in a water phase at a temperature below 150.degree.C to form a sulfur suspension, and the obtained sulfur is then reacted with a strong sodium sulfide solution. The sulfur formed in the first reaction is fed into a polysulfide reactor in the form of an unpurified suspension without separating the sulfur. However, the sulfur is conducted through a concentrator, in which the sulfur content of the suspension rises over 20 per cent of weight, advantageously to 50-60 per cent of weight, and the clear solution separated from it is returned to the sulphur preparing reactor.
Abstract:
The sifting device consists of a chamber with an opening for feeding pulp to be sifted; a cylinder plate installed in the chamber so that it can be rotated around its axis; at least one fixed sieve cleaner with an outlet pipe open toward the sieve surface for removing reject pulp, a lower pressure prevailing in the outlet pipe than on the sieve surface; a detachment organ for reject installed in connection with the outlet pipe; and a blocking piece on the side opposite to the open part of the outlet pipe.
Abstract:
A PAPER WEB AND ITS SUPPORTING FELT OR A FELT ONLY IS DEWATERED EMPLOYING A PRESS ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A PAIR OF PRESS ROLLS IN NIP-DEFINING RELATION WHEREIN ONE OF THE PRESS ROLLS IS A BLIND DRILLED ROLL. ON THE OFF-RUNNING SIDE OF THE NIP THE FELT IS GUIDED AWAY FROM THE NIP ON THE SIDE OF THE NIP TANGENT PLANE OPPOSITE THE BLIND DRILLED ROLL AT AN ANGLE DEFINED BETWEEN THE FELT AND THE COMMON TANGENT PLANE. THE BLIND DRILLED ROLL IS DIPOSED IN A SAVE-ALL HAVING A SIDE WALL TERMINATING AT AN UPPER EDGE SPACED CLOSELY ADJACENT TO THE COMMON TANGENT PLANE AND THE NIP PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FELT ON THE OFF-RUNNING SIDE OF THE NIP.
Abstract:
A fin assembly for use with fin-stabilized projectiles such as grenades and mortars includes a tail carrier tube with a plurality of longitudinally extending fins projecting radially from the tube, the base or foot portion of each fin being pressfitted into the material of the tail carrier tube. The fins are composed of a material having substantially greater strength than the material of the tail carrier tube, and the foot portion of each fin preferably has an undulated configuration with respect to the longidutinal axis of the fin.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for the treatment of refuse. The refuse is heated to a sufficiently high temperature to cause the refuse, even metal included therein, to melt. A molten bath is maintained in such a manner that the combustion products are caused to impinge upon the molten bath so that ash, soot, and other particles become entrained in the bath. The heat resulting from the combustion is used to maintain the bath in a molten state.
Abstract:
A grenade launcher bipod support in which the two legs of the bipod are individually adjustable. The adjustment for each leg includes an internally threaded adjusting sleeve into which upper and lower portions of the legs are threaded so the legs are adjusted in turnbuckle fashion. The upper ends of the legs are pivotally mounted on a connector by gear segments which are in mesh so the legs can only be pivoted simultaneously. A connecting bracket is pivotally connected to the connector and the bracket is in turn pivotally connected to the barrel of the grenade launcher. Means are provided to lock both pivotal connections of the connecting bracket as well as to lock the gear segments so the bipod assembly remains in the position to which it is manually set.
