摘要:
Energy conservation may be increased and emission production reduced in a cooling system for the internal combustion engine (10) of a vehicle that includes a high temperature radiator (50) and a lower temperature radiator (38) aligned so that airflow will flow serially through the two, passing through the lower temperature radiator (38) before passing through the higher temperature radiator (50). A liquid cooled condenser (30) is in circuit with the lower temperature radiator (38) and provides condensed refrigerant to an evaporator (20). A compressor (34) is in circuit with the condenser (30) and the evaporator (20) to provide for air conditioning and a charge air cooler (42) for the vehicle engine (10) is located in series with the lower temperature radiator (38) and the refrigerant condenser (30) to provide for improved cooling of charge air. The vehicle engine 10 is in series with the high temperature radiator 50 as is a heater 14.

摘要:
The potential for leakage of CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and HCs to the atmosphere as a result of leakage in vehicular refrigeration systems is reduced by employing conduits (42, 58 and 63) of relatively short length to interconnect closely grouped system components including a compressor (38), a condenser (44) and an evaporator (62). The condenser (44) includes a liquid flow path (46) in heat exchange relation with a refrigerant flow path (48) and the same is connected by conduit (52) to heat exchanger (36). The evaporator (62) also includes a liquid flow path (65) in heat exchange relation with a refrigerant flow path (60) and the same is connected by conduits (66, 67) to at least one heat exchanger (68, 69) remote from an engine compartment (22) in which the compressor (38), condenser (44) and evaporator (62) are housed. The close proximity of the components minimizes the charge of refrigerant required and thus reduces the amount of refrigerant that may potentially leak from the system.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus fix relative rotation between an optical connector about an axis that runs longitudinally through the optical connector and an inspection machine. In one method, an optical connector is releasably secured to a cage member having an extending flange. The optical connector is mounted into an inspection machine by inserting the end surface of the connector into a connector receipt aperture of the machine, and orienting the optical connector with the cage member to position the extending flange within a void of a fixture on the machine. A kit including a cage member and a mounting plate are provided.

Methods for synthesis of chemical compounds by catalytic transfer hydrogenation comprise forming a mixture of a starting material, a hydrogen donor material and a catalyst. The catalyst is selected from a catalytic form of carbon, a polyethylene glycol phase transfer agent, and mixtures thereof. The mixture is heated at a temperature of from 30.degree. to 400.degree. C. in the presence of at least one alkali or alkaline earth metal compound to cause reduction of the starting material by catalytic transfer hydrogenation and form the desired chemical compound product.

Methods for the recovery of natural fiber-containing material from waste textile and methods for recovery of monomers and/or oligomers from waste plastics comprise contacting about 10 to about 25 wt % of the waste with about 75 to about 95 wt % of an aqueous reagent, the aqueous reagent comprising at least about 80 wt % water and about 20 wt % or less tetraethylene glycol, based on the water and the tetraethylene glycol, and a base, at a temperature of about 90° C. to about 140° C. for about 20 to about 60 minutes to depolymerize polymers in the wastes. The base is included in the aqueous reagent in an amount effective to depolymerize the polymers.

Methods of recycling a post-consumer polymer material comprise depolymerizing the polymer material by heating the polymer material in the presence of a hydrogen donor material and a strong base compound, and optionally a catalyst, to effect catalytic transfer hydrogenation and base cleavage and produce intermediate and/or monomer products of molecular weights lower than that of the polymeric material. In a specific embodiment, the methods comprise recycling post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate. The methods comprise depolymerizing the polyethylene terephthalate by heating in the presence of a hydrogen donor material and a strong base compound, and optionally a catalyst, to effect catalytic transfer hydrogenation and base cleavage and produce terephthalic and/or naphthalic acid, or a salt thereof, and ethylene glycol.
摘要:
A method for the decomposition of halogenated organic compounds contained in a contaminated medium comprises adding an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate to the contaminated medium in an aqueous solution or in a solvent having a boiling point of at least 200.degree. C., or in the form of a solid dispersion or suspension. The medium is heated to dehydrate the medium and then is further heated at a temperature between about 250.degree. and 400.degree. C. to effect decomposition of the halogenated organic compounds. An acid is then added to the medium in an amount sufficient to neutralize the same.
摘要:
A polishing puck assembly is provided for use in polishing a fiber optic connector. A slidable weight rests on the fiber optic connector to urge the ferrule of the fiber optic connector to extend below a bottom surface of the puck assembly. The puck assembly can be manipulated relative to polishing material to polish the end of the fiber optic connector. The polishing material can be circular in shape and held by a palette defining one or more circular pockets for holding the polishing material. Different polishing material can be positioned in the different pockets. A circular guide can be utilized in the circular pocket wherein the guide includes a circular opening with a center offset from a center of the circular guide.
