摘要:
A centrifugal dryer for drying small machine parts. The dryer features means such as an access door and a biased ramp leading thereto to facilitate the loading and unloading of a basket containing the parts into and out of the dryer. In addition, the drying process is expedited by utilization of heated air driven directly from a heater above the basket bearing the part through to the bottom of the work basket thereby minimizing duct work.
摘要:
A vibrated toroid shaped enclosed chamber forces material therein to simultaneously progress spirally through the toroid and orbitally roll within the progressing spiral. The chamber is equipped to selectively deburr machined parts or to grind granular pieces. The vibrational mode of the finisher and grinder is readily varied because among other things, of the unique vibrator assembly and its location.
摘要:
Water still system for utilizing solar energy and/or waste heat to distill water and chemicals. A pressure vessel having a given rate of thermal expansion is filled with a distillable feed liquid having a higher rate of thermal expansion. Application of heat, as by solar energy or waste heat, to the vessel causes the liquid to expand at a faster rate than the pressure vessel, thereby both pressurizing the liquid and elastically stretching the pressure vessel walls. The pressure vessel is provided with a liquid output control valve which opens at a predetermined pressure for discharging a small portion of the pressurized liquid through a vapor-producing device whereby the heat energy previously absorbed is converted into the heat of vaporization of the discharged liquid. Any dissolved solids in the liquid feed crystallize during vaporization of the pressurized liquid, followed by separation of the vapor and solids in an expansion chamber from which the vapor is bled off for condensation and storage.
