    摘要: A phenomenon sometimes referred to as tracking can occur when the end of an electrical heater, made of two or more metal conductors and a conductive polymer web, comes into contact with water or other electrolytes which allow arcing to take place across the surface of the web. Tracking is stopped by holes in the web which prevent arcing from continuing up the length of the heat tape.

    摘要: An improved turbopump unit and system for pumping hot geothermal liquids from deep wells to the earth's surface. The unit is of simplified single-shaft construction with reduced net reaction thrust on the shaft. Bearing wear is minimized by using hydrostatic bearings and by supplying lubricating liquid thereto which is taken from an intermediate stage of a centrifugal pump at the surface which supplies motive liquid to the turbine. An arrangement is provided that is operated by pressure of the lubricating liquid for maintaining all thrust-engageable surfaces carried by the shaft out of engagement at start-up and shut-down. Means operated by liquid pressure are provided for sealing the unit to the well casing and also for preventing undue tensile or compressive stresses in the supply conduit for the turbine motive liquid while maintaining an effective seal between the unit and the well casing.

    摘要: A sea thermal power plant is provided with pumps of the propeller type for bringing up cold water and forcing it through suitable condensers or heat exchangers and for drawing a continuous flow of warm water from a surface layer of the sea and forcing it down through suitable heat exchangers or boilers of the plant. The water so drawn from the sea flows through the heat exchangers and is subsequently discharged therefrom, which action creates thrust thereby producing forces to move the plant over the water surface. The heat exchangers are provided with deflectors which control the direction of discharge to produce a reaction force in any desired direction to drive the power plant. The pumps have associated therewith pipes which have located therein, downstream of the pumps, bypass louvres or vanes which can be opened to discharge water directly into the sea to produce a higher thrust for moving or positioning the power plant.
