Abstract:
An open forklift truck is provided having an elongated windshield that protects the operator from wind chills experienced when operating the truck in a cold storage environment. The windshield is a laminate having a plurality of heating elements disposed therein that are electrically connected to a control and are energized when the windshield falls below a predetermined temperature to prevent condensation from accumulating on the windshield when the truck is moved into a warmer environment. Accordingly, both sides of the windshield are maintained at a temperature greater than the dew point of the warmer environment.
Abstract:
A system for reducing hydrocarbon emissions from a high speed liquid reprography process. Hydrocarbon ladened vapors from the reprography process are directed through an activated charcoal bed. The bed is regenerated from time to time by a flow of controlled temperature regenerating air. Whereas the reprography process generates hydrocarbons at a highly fluctuating rate and mixed in large volumes of air, the carbon bed regeneration produces hydrocarbons at a controlled rate in a small volume of air. These hydrocarbons are removed by removal means which may be either a catalytic reactor or a condensation device.
