Abstract:
Systems and methods for applying a coating to an interior surface of a conduit. In one embodiment, a spray gun configured to apply a coating is attached to an extension arm which may be inserted into the bore of a pipe. The spray gun may be a thermal spray gun adapted to apply a powder coating. An evacuation system may be used to provide a volume area of reduced air pressure for drawing overspray out of the pipe interior during coating. The extension arm as well as the spray gun may be cooled to maintain a consistent temperature in the system, allowing for more consistent coating.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for manufacturing ultra-fine particles using an electrospray device is disclosed. One or more capillary provided at its tip with a nozzle is positioned within a guide duct and precursors such as metal organic materials and metal halogen compounds, or nonvolatile substances or volatile substances are supplied to the capillary. Voltages are applied to the capillary and the guide duct, respectively, so that a voltage difference is generated therebetween and the highly charged liquid droplets from the capillary are sprayed. The sprayed liquid droplets are carried along the guide duct together with carrier gas injected into the guide duct. When heat energy is applied to the liquid droplets, chemical reactions of the liquid droplets occur. A collecting plate positioned in front of the guide duct collects ultra-fine particles formed by the chemical reactions.
Abstract:
The thermal spraying torch 100 is capable of successively supplying a thermal spray material 80 heated and fused by a plasma forming gas in an arc generated between electrodes contained in an outer cylinder 10, or by a combustion gas supplied passing through the outer cylinder 10 and burned under high temperature conditions. The torch can spray the thermal spray material 80 via a nozzle 40 by the plasma forming gas or the combustion gas so that droplet(s) 81 can be formed, and a rotatable discharge member 60 is contained in a forward portion of the nozzle 40 and has a droplet passage 61 for the droplet(s) 81 at the center so that the droplet(s) 81 can be jetted together with the forming gas or the combustion gas. The discharge member 60 is formed with a projection 63, which changes a discharge direction of a droplet(s) 81 at the center of the distal end portion, and is formed integrally with a plurality of arm members 65, which project from the discharge member 60 and arranged in an air jet cylinder 50 that is contained in the outer cylinder 10 at the rear end, whereby an air jet space 66 for jetting a rotation air is formed, and rotational force is given to the discharge member 60 by air jetted from an air jet port 53 of the air jet cylinder 50 arranged outside the air jet space 66. Therefore, in the thermal spraying torch 100, the rotational speed of the discharge member 60 for radially discharging the droplet 81 can be set to a range from 800 to 6,000 rpm. Further, thermal spraying is carried out with respect to the inner surface of the pipes and the cylinder 91 so that the optimum sprayed coating film 82 can be formed. A process for thermal spraying with such a device is also disclosed.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a burner head for burner units, comprising a single or multiple injector gas mixing system for the interior and/or exterior mixing of various fuel constituents, particularly fuel gases, auxiliary combustion gases and possibly liquid fuel gases, formed by an intermediate piece in which feed ducts for the fuel constituents are provided from an equipment connecting surface to a nozzle connecting side, and comprising a nozzle which consists of a center part having ducts and at least one cap part, for the mixing of at least two fuel constituents, the first ducts assigned to a first fuel constituent and distributed around the circumference leading into first injector nozzle bores which, in turn, are connected with a radial injector gap formed by an annular gap between the center part and the cap part, and the second ducts assigned to the second fuel constituent and distributed around the circumference also leading into the radial injector gap, in which case, in the intermediate piece, radial-axial pressure compensation chambers are, on the one side, connected with the individual distributor grooves and, on the other side, with the pertaining feed ducts of the various fuel constituents, and in which case preferably the cap part is provided with nozzle ducts which, in the installed position, are aligned with the injector nozzle bores, and completely covers the center part in the direction of the burner head face pointing to the flame, with the exception of the possibly existing spraying filler guide duct.
Abstract:
A flame spray torch which comprises a torch body and a torch head exchangeably connected with each other. Injectors are inserted in recesses of the torch body partly projecting therefrom and extending into recesses of the torch head. Each injector communicates with a respective supply duct for combustion gas and oxidation gas, mixing chambers being provided respectively in each injector and in the torch head, the latter being provided with means to improve the gas mixing. The torque reduces the risk of back-firing and allows the attainment of optimum spraying conditions for a great variety of applications by permitting an easy exchange, particularly with respect to the injectors.
Abstract:
A vapor generating gun on a movable support comprises a combustion chamber having an inlet for receiving fuel and pressurized air and an outlet for the hot gases of combustion under pressure, a secondary inlet providing a flow of pressurized air adjacent the outlet and a water injector providing a spray of water in the path of the hot gases. A tertiary air inlet may also provide a flow of air adjacent the water ejector.
