Abstract:
A blackbody material application system for a turbine. The system includes a blackbody material supply and a moveable hose connected to the blackbody material supply wherein the hose sprays blackbody material onto a selected area within the turbine. The system also includes a rotatable bracket that holds the hose, wherein rotation of the bracket moves the hose toward the selected area within the turbine to enable application of the blackbody material onto the selected area. In addition, the system includes a motor for rotating the bracket and a moveable arm that holds the bracket wherein the bracket is inserted through an opening in the turbine and movement of the arm enables positioning of the bracket and hose in relative close proximity to the selected area suitable for spraying blackbody material onto the selected area.

Abstract:
A nozzle is configured to discharge a fluid containing a raw material of a catalytic layer to a substrate having first and second end faces and provided with holes each extending from the first end face to the second end face. The nozzle is provided with discharge ports each discharging the fluid toward the first end face of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of coating a substrate with a liquid comprising a catalyst component, which substrate comprises a plurality of channels, wherein the method comprises: (a) holding the substrate vertically; (b) introducing the liquid into the substrate through the open ends of the channels at a lower end of the substrate; and (c) after the lower end of the substrate has been part-filled with the liquid, applying a vacuum to the open ends of the channels at the upper end of the substrate while introducing the liquid into the substrate.
Abstract:
A planetary gear retrieval system for pulling a sled at a constant velocity along an interior of a pipe, and a sled for applying a coating material to the interior of the large-diameter pipe. The planetary gear retrieval system is connected to the sled via a chain, and has a network of gears controlled by a first variable speed microcontroller. A spinner on a linear oscillating plate provided on the sled is controlled by a second variable speed microcontroller. The first and second microcontrollers are programmable to be synchronized with one another so as to pull the sled at a desired constant rate and achieve a desired number of passes of the spinner along a given length of pipe while the sled is pulled at the desired rate.
Abstract:
A sealing probe for injecting a sealant into a sealant-receiving region between a pair of members. The probe includes a hollow, sealant-releasing section, for insertion into the hole in the upper member into at least a portion of the sealant-receiving region. The sealant-releasing section has a plurality of apertures disposed about an outer wall of such section. The aperture passes through the outer wall from a hollow region within such section to the sealant-receiving region. The sealant-receiving section also includes an entrance adjacent a top portion of the sealant section for receiving a sealant and passing such sealant to the hollow region and then from the hollow region, through the apertures, to the region external the sealant-receiving region. The probe includes a first seal disposed about an upper portion of the outer wall. The first seal extends beyond the outer surface of the sealant-releasing section to prevent sealant from passing beyond such first seal to portions of the hole above such first seal. The probe includes a second seal disposed adjacent to a lower portion of the outer wall to prevent sealant from passing into the aperture in the lower member.
Abstract:
A coating device for coating an interior surface of a continuous tube of material with a fluid. The coating device includes an extruder die for forming the continuous tube of material and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system is positioned within the extruder die so as to introduce the fluid onto the interior surface of the continuous tube of material.
Abstract:
A method of lining pipes comprises the steps of laying along the pipe (56) hoses (63) filled with constituent components of a settable resinous lining composition, axially slitting the hoses, conveying the constituent components to a mixing chamber (65), and centrifugally impelling the mixed lining composition against the wall of the pipe (56). A lining apparatus (50) for carrying out the method is advanced along the pipe (56) and comprises delivery tubes (62) with slitting blades (70) at their leading ends which are pushed through the holes (63) and which communicate with a mixing chamber (65) which, in turn, is open to a centrifugal impeller (57) of a lining machine. The slit and emptied hoses (63) may be left in situ in the pipe (56) or removed therefrom in advance of the lining apparatus (50). A trowelling arrangement using a thin-walled, flexible tube (112) of, for example, a cellulose polymer and a conical trowel (112) is employed to smooth the pipe lining.
Abstract:
An automatic dual action apparatus and method for uniformly applying a coating material to the insides of tubular extensions. The apparatus is designed to handle a plurality of pipes of various lengths and inside diameters. The device provides for a unique left to right and, then, right to left application of coating material and a unique interior applicating device that prevents the non-uniform buildup of too much coating material at the beginning of the tubular extensions and not enough at the end of the tubular extensions. The apparatus is capable of being pressurized giving the apparatus the ability to slow the movement of coating material through the tubular extensions as well as to break bubbles of the material that may form on the inside of the tubular extensions being coated and to force the coating material around any pits or weld splatter that may be within the tubular extensions.
