摘要： A fuel-fired water heater has main and pilot burners disposed in its combustion chamber. All of the primary combustion air utilized by the main and pilot burners during firing thereof is supplied thereto via an enclosed path extending to the burners from outside of the combustion chamber. A burner clogging detection system is operative to shut down further combustion, upon sensing a condition of the pilot burner flame indicative of a predetermined degree of pilot burner clogging, prior to the main burner being clogged to an unacceptable degree by particulate matter entrained in incoming combustion air being delivered to the main burner. The pilot burner may be mounted on the main burner in a variety of locations thereon.

摘要： A gas-fired water heater is provided with a combustion shutoff system which precludes further combustion within the water heater's combustion chamber in response to a combustion temperature therein reaching a predetermined level correlated to and indicative of a predetermined, undesirably high concentration of carbon monoxide present in the combustion chamber. In various illustrated embodiments thereof, the combustion shutoff system is operative to terminate further combustion air inflow to the combustion chamber, or terminate further fuel flow to the burner portion of the water heater.

摘要： Substantially pure uranium hexafluoride is shipped in a conventional overpack. A cylinder includes a vessel with a cylindrical sidewall A head permanently affixed to the sidewall closes one end of the vessel. A valve controls the flow of matter into and out of the vessel. A sealing surface connected to the vessel surrounds the valve. A cap covers the valve and a pair of seals is located between the sealing surface and the cap. The volume between the two seals, the cap and the sealing surface defines a test volume. A test port connects the test volume and an exterior surface of the vessel, and fasteners press the cap against the sealing surface. A maximum rate of leakage from within the cap to the atmosphere outside the cap is determined by measuring the leakage rate into the test volume with a leak testing apparatus connected to the test port. Thereafter the cylinder is placed in a conventional overpack. The maximum leakage rate is determined using a test apparatus consisting essentially of a vacuum pump, a pressure gauge, a container of known volume, a valve to control the flow of air from the atmosphere into the container which are all adapted to be connected to the test port at the same time, a valve controlling the flow of gas from the container into the test volume, and a valve controlling the flow of gas from the test volume to the vacuum pump.
