The air outlet (5) can be opened or closed, and is disposed on a pipe path.
Abstract:
An automatic oven cooks or bakes a food product over a timed period of time during which a burner (50) delivers heat to the oven cavity. Thermocouple sensors in the cavity control a modulator (30), which regulates the amount of gas flowing to the burner (50) to maintain a uniform temperature in the oven. A conveyor (21) carries the food product in order to time the baking period.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enclosing, controlling and suppressing the explosive destruction of munitions, particularly cluster-bomb munitions in an explosion chamber. The explosions chamber (28) comprises a double-walled steel explosion chamber in which the walls and access doors are filled with granular shock damping silica sand (4). The munition is placed in an open-topped fragmentation containment unit (37) within the chamber on the chamber floor which is covered with granular shock-damping pea gravel. Plastic bags of water (26) are suspended within the chamber over the detonation area and filled with an amount of water chosen according to the type and amount of explosive in the munition. A starter charge (12) and ignition wires (13) are electrically activated to detonate the explosive. A woven steel blast mat (42) is secured to the chamber roof for the purpose of catching debris and a scrubber system (27) is in communication with the chamber for the purpose of further cooling and treatment of gaseous combustion products resulting from the detonation.

Abstract:
An adaptive wall (P) comprises, embedded in the wall, a duct (1) which extends more into the innermost layer (SI) of the inner wall (PI) and into the outermost layer (SE) of the outer wall (PE) of the wall (P). Inside the duct (1), a heat transfer fluid (2) which usually is stationary in the resting condition is present, wherein said fluid (2) is free to move and circulate in the duct (1) by virtue of a thrust member (5). The thrust member (5) is adapted to move the fluid (2) from the resting condition to cause it to flow inside the duct (1). A first indoor surface temperature probe (Tpi) and a second outdoor surface temperature probe (Tpe) are provided on the wall (P), which are positioned embedded in the innermost layer (SI) of the inner wall (PI) and in the outermost layer (SE) of the outer wall (PE), respectively, to measure the indoor (Ta) and outdoor (Tb) temperature. The adaptive wall (P) further includes a control unit (4) which acquires the data (Ta, Tb) measured by the first (Tpi) and second (Tpe) temperature probes, compares them and controls the thrust member (5) to leave the heat transfer fluid (2) stationary or cause it to flow according to the results of such a comparison of the indoor temperature (Ta) with the outdoor temperature (Tb).
Abstract:
Modular fluid heating device for a heating system having a fluid circuit, wherein the fluid heating device comprises a supply conduit and a discharge conduit, which are connectable to a return side and a feeding side of the fluid circuit of the heating system, and having at least one fluid heating module which is connectable to the supply conduit and the discharge conduit. The fluid heating module comprises a substantially straight fluid tube having a threaded neck formed on each end thereof. A sleeve is arranged concentrically within the fluid tube, which sleeve extends at least into the necks of the fluid tube. In each neck a sealing ring is arranged between the neck and the sleeve. A threaded ring is configured to cooperate with the thread of the neck, and engages the sealing ring so as to seal the ends of the fluid tube. The fluid tube has, spaced apart from the respective necks, an inlet or and outlet, respectively, which can be coupled directly with the discharge conduit or supply conduit, respectively. The fluid heating module further comprises an infrared lamp having end consoles that rest on end portions of the sleeve, wherein electrical connection wires protrude from one or both end consoles so as to connect the infrared lamp to a power source.
Abstract:
The disclosed technology includes a controller configured to control an output of one or more boilers to reduce temperature overshoot of the boiler system. The controller can receive temperature data, a threshold temperature value, and a maximum temperature value, and determine whether the temperature of the water in the boiler system is greater than or equal to a threshold temperature. The controller can also determine a number of operating boilers that were operating when the threshold temperature was reached and determine a temperature increment value based on the threshold temperature, the maximum temperature, and the number of operating boilers. The controller can output a control signal to a boiler to reduce an output of the boiler based on the temperature increment value and the temperature data to reduce overshoot of the boiler system.
