摘要:
A method and system for cost effectively converting a feedstock using thermal plasma or other styles of gassifiers, into an energy transfer medium using a blended gaseous fuel. The feedstock can be any organic material or inorganic combination to generate a syngas. The syngas is blended with any fuel of a higher thermal content (BTU) than the syngas. The resulting blended high thermal content fuel is used on site or reinjected into the fuel supply pipe line. Rock wool and accessory heat are produced to increase the efficiency of the plant.

A method and system for augmenting the heat energy of a plasma torch in a gassifier using chemical energy, including the steps of injecting a fuel in the proximity of a plasma torch inside the gassifier chamber; and injecting an oxidant in the proximity of a plasma torch inside the gassifier chamber. As apparatus, an enhanced plasma gassifier arrangement is of the type that has a gassifier chamber having an electrically operated plasma torch for issuing a plasma discharge into the gassifier chamber. A fuel injection arrangement is disposed to surround the electrically operated plasma torch for injecting a fuel and an oxidant into the gassifier chamber. A natural gas inlet delivers natural gas into the gassifier chamber, thereby enhancing the temperature within the gassifier chamber.

A system for verifying the quality of a pressing operation of a press-fit part onto a receiving portion of a receiving assembly. The system is applicable to the installation of a bearing cup onto a shaft, or a valve seat into a cylinder head. A probe measures a predetermined dimension of the press-fit part to establish a first measurement value. In the case of a valve seat installed a receiving pocket of a cylinder head, a measuring probe is inserted into the receiving pocket of the cylinder head to measure its depth. The depth is recorded as a second measurement value. The valve seat is then pressed into the pocket, and the residual depth is measured to determine the distance between the outermost surface of the pressed in valve seat and the outer surface of the receiving pocket. A computation compares the depth of the pocket against the thickness of the valve seat to determine a difference which is then compared to the residual depth. During pressing, the hydraulic pressing force is maintained while an impulse force, similar to a hammer blow, is applied to the valve seats to ensure proper seating. The use of a hammer blow obviates the need for excessive hydraulic forces which may damage cylinder head castings. Also, the hydraulic pressing force is monitored over a predetermined distance of insertion of the press-fit part to determine the quality of the interference fit between the press-fit part and the receiving portion of the receiving assembly.

An arrangement for isolating an energy transfer system while it is subjected to a test process for noise. The energy transfer system is of the type having an energy input and at least one energy output, and may be mechanical or electrical. The isolation arrangement has a base that supports the energy transfer system. An isolation support supports the energy transfer system, yet affords multiple degrees of freedom with respect to the base. The energy transfer system is clamped in a manner that permits at least one degree of freedom with respect to the base, by means of an engagement arrangement that secures the energy transfer system to the isolation support. When mechanical or electrical energy is applied to the energy transfer system, acoustic energy in the form of sound and/or vibration is issued by the energy transfer system under test, which acoustic energy is monitored by an acoustic sensor that issues a corresponding electrical signal. The monitored acoustic energy is responsive to a qualitative condition in the energy transfer system under test, and also to a temperature thereof. A thermal sensor monitors a temperature change in the energy transfer system under test, and the resulting temperature-responsive electrical signal is employed to control the sensitivity of the acoustic sensor. Such temperature-responsive control is effected non-linearly in certain embodiments of the invention.
摘要:
A method and system for cost-effectively converting a feedstock using thermal plasma, or other styles of gassifiers, into an energy transfer system using a blended syngas. The feedstock is any organic material or fossil fuel to generate a syngas. The syngas is blended with any fuel of a higher thermal content (BTU) level, such as natural gas. The blended syngas high thermal content fuel can be used in any energy transfer device such as a boiler for simple cycle Rankine systems, an internal combustion engine generator, or a combined cycle turbine generator system. The quality of the high thermal content fuel is monitored using a thermal content monitoring feedback system and a quenching arrangement.

A method and system for converting waste using plasma into ethylene. The method uses minimal fossil fuel, and therefore produces a minimal carbon footprint when compared to conventional processes. The method includes the steps of supplying a fuel material to a plasma melter; supplying electrical energy to the plasma melter; supplying steam to the plasma melter; extracting a syngas from the plasma melter; extracting hydrogen from the syngas; and forming ethylene from the hydrogen produced in the step of extracting hydrogen.

An arrangement for isolating a differential axle system while it is subjected to a test process for noise, also reduces the noise contribution of the differential gear set by coupling a load directly to the differential gear set shaft. The isolation arrangement has a suspension arrangement that supports the differential axle system above the base supports. In a different embodiment, the isolation support supports the differential axle system, yet affords multiple degrees of freedom with respect to the base. The differential axle system is clamped in a manner that permits the multiple degrees of freedom with respect to the base, via an engagement arrangement that secures the differential axle system to the isolation support. The engagement arrangement has a first position with respect to the base wherein the differential axle system is installable on, and removable from, the isolation support, and a second position wherein the differential axle system is secured to the isolation support. Engagement is effected by an actuation element that is effectively decoupled from the base after clamping is achieved. Rotatory energy is provided to the differential axle system exclusively as torque, without any significant axial bias. Additionally, processes for signal analysis enable “pass/fail” determinations to be made with respect to noisiness of the system under test, as well as, the presence of bumps and nicks in the systems under test.

An apparatus for processing a drive shaft (11) for a vehicle, the drive shaft (11) having a longitudinal axis and first and second ends. There is provided a drive arrangement for coupling to the first end of the drive shaft and applying a rotatory force to the drive shaft (11). A second end support arrangement rotationally supports the drive shaft (11) at its second end. Also, a transaxial drive (35) for applying a transverse force in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft (11). The transaxial drive includes a transaxially displaceable roller arrangement for communicating with an outer surface of the drive shaft (11) in a region thereof intermediate of the drive arrangement and the support arrangement, via which the transverse force is applied. The transverse force has a magnitude sufficient to cause bending of the drive shaft (11) in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof as the drive shaft is rotated. In some embodiments, the transverse force has a magnitude sufficient to cause plastic deformation of the drive shaft (11) in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis thereof as the drive shaft is rotated.
