摘要:
Apparatus for removing oil from the surface of a body of water including, an at least partially flexible, elongated chamber having an open, at least partially submerged front for receiving water and oil thereinto during relative movement between the chamber and the body of water; at least one cable for folding the chamber, the cable being slidably connected to at least one extremity of the chamber and fixedly connected to the other extremity of the chamber; and at least two inclinable ramps for launching and retrieving the chamber with a vessel of opportunity.

Pressure-tight pipeline plugs are used in subsea connection operations to achieve a lightweight pipe condition which facilitates alignment by easing handling problems. An internal plug is provided for this purpose which is particularly useful for connection operations using a pipelay vessel, and which is capable of sealing, remotely releasing and then being pumped out of the line to a terminus.

A skimmer is provided for removing oil from the surface of a body of water. The skimmer comprises a funnel-shaped floating weir, a flexible disk suspended thereabove and having an edge contacting the water surface around the weir, suction for removing oil from the bottom of the weir and a vessel for collecting the removed oil.

Pressure-tight pipeline plugs are used in subsea connection operations to achieve a lightweight pipe condition which facilitates alignment by easing handling problems. An internal plug is provided for this purpose which is particularly useful for connection operations using a pipe-to-pipe pull-in technique and is capable of sealing, remotely releasing and then being pumped through the line to a terminus.
摘要:
An overhead ventilation hood for use within a ventilation system of a conventional cooking appliance. The hood includes a housing with a planar base surface and a recessed interior arrayed in a downwardly facing manner which is defined by a first side, a second spaced apart side, a first interconnecting end and a second interconnecting end. Intake and exhaust openings are formed through the housing proximate the first and second sides. The ventilation system includes a first blower mounted in communication with a first length of ductwork extending to the intake opening to provide a stream of pressurized intake air and a second blower mounted in communication with a second length of ductwork extending from the exhaust opening to provide a stream of pressurized exhaust air. A supply plenum chamber is established along the first side of the housing interior and includes first and second planar shaped channeling walls and a planar shaped diffuser for regulating a flow of the stream of pressurized air into a central open interior of the housing. The diffuser includes fixed grid members and spaced apart and pivotal blade members to adjust an airflow through the plenum chamber. An exhaust plenum chamber is established along the second side of the housing interior and includes an elongate planar shaped and angularly mounted filter. Combinations of heat, airborne grease and smoke are issued upwardly from the cooking appliance within the open interior of the hood and are discharged through the filter and within the stream of exhaust air concurrent with intermixing with the regulated flow of the stream of intake air.

A sample handling system provides an evenly-suspended, small volume, bubble-free sample to an analyzer such as a light scattering particle size analyzer. A flow of suspension is forced through an elongate channel below the surface of the liquid in the channel, along a downwardly sloping path, into impact with an end wall, and through an abrupt downward turn. Controlled turbulence created in the flow disperses particles and releases bubbles from the liquid.
摘要:
A shield for use with a conveyor oven for redirecting a thermal exhaust flow. The conveyor oven has a first exterior surface defining an inlet aperture and a second exterior surface defining an outlet aperture. A first shield secures against the first exterior surface of the oven and at a location proximate and above the inlet aperture. A second shield secures against the second exterior surface of the oven and at a location proximate and above the outlet aperture. Each of the first and second shields further includes a body with a forwardly projecting and elongated front surface, first and second side surfaces, and a top surface angling in a generally upward direction between the side surfaces and from the front surface toward the associated exterior oven surface. The body further defines an interiorly hollowed and downwardly facing interior proximate the associated oven aperture. An elongated aperture is defined within the angled top surface, between the first and second side surfaces, and proximate the associated exterior surface of the oven. The shield redirects a thermal exhaust flow emanating through the aperture of the conveyor oven and in an upward direction towards a ventilation hood mounted in an overhead location above the oven.

A winery storm water protection system comprising a valve capsule assembly and a control system for automatically diverting precipitation such as rain water falling on a winery crush pad into a storm system such as a waterway and for automatically diverting waste water or liquid waste products falling on the winery crush pad into a process waste water system such as a process waste water tank for further processing.

A ventless air scrubber assembly for use with a conventional cooking appliance situated within an interior location. A ventilation hood is arrayed in an overhanging manner above the cooking appliance and includes a recessed interior defined by a planar base surface and a plurality of interconnecting sides. The hood further includes an intake and an exhaust and a plurality of individual grease extraction units located within the hood in proximity to the exhaust. A filtration housing having an inlet and an outlet is located a specified distance from the hood and is interconnected to the hood exhaust by a first length of ductwork extending filtration housing inlet. A plurality of individual filters are arrayed between the inlet and an outlet in successive fashion. The filters include particulate entrapment filters and an odor removal filter. A second length of ductwork extends between the filtration housing outlet and an inlet of an exhaust fan. The exhaust fan draws a steady flow of hot air contaminated with airborne particles such as grease and smoke from the cooking appliance, across the grease extraction units and, subsequently, the filtration housing. A third length of ductwork extends from an outlet of the exhaust fan and conveying reconditioned air for reintroduction within the interior location.
