Abstract:
An apparatus for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a manifold assembly. The manifold assembly includes a frame, an intake section coupled to the frame, and an articulating arm coupled to the intake section. The intake section is configured to route pressurized fluid to the articulating arm. The articulating arm is configured to route pressurized fluid away from the intake section. The apparatus may further comprise a pre-assembled piping system. The pre-assembled piping system comprises an inlet for receiving fluid, said inlet being in fluid communication with the articulating arm of the manifold assembly, wherein the articulating arm is configured to direct fluid having a first pressure to a pump. The pre-assembled piping system also comprises a second articulating arm proximate to the articulating arm and configured to receive pressurized fluid from the pump, wherein the pressurized fluid has a second pressure greater than the first pressure; and a discharge line in fluid communication with the second articulating arm. A method of routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An articulating conduit linkage system (80) for maintaining a fluid connection between a fluid source and displaceable conduit that has been buried in a subsiding permeable body (30). A fluid source can supply a working fluid through a source outlet (72), and which is located outside of the boundaries of the permeable body (30). A displaceable conduit can receive the working fluid through a conduit inlet (74), and be buried at a depth within a subsiding permeable body (30) that is contained within a permeability control infrastructure (12). A plurality of articulating conduit segments (82,84,86) can comprise: an outer conduit segment (82) that is operably coupled to the source outlet (72) with a first single-axis swivel joint, an inner conduit segment (84) that is operably coupled to the conduit inlet (74) with a second single-axis swivel joint, and at least one middle conduit segment (86) that operably connects the outer (82) and inner segments (84), respectively, with at least one single-axis swivel joint to establish a working fluid connection between the fluid source and the displaceable conduit (70). In the event of a subsidence of the permeable body which causes a relative displacement between the source outlet (72) and the conduit inlet (74) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of both the outlet and the inlet, the plurality of articulating conduit segments (82,84,86) are configured so the outer (82) and inner (84) conduit segments rotate in opposite directions to extend the conduit linkage system while maintaining a working fluid connection between the source outlet (72) and the conduit inlet (74).
Abstract:
This device (16) comprises a platform (40) and a manifold (42), the latter being intended to be connected to a fluid tank. The manifold (42) comprises a length of rigid tube (50) defining a pipe (76) of approximately horizontal axis (X-X') and a length of connecting tube (52) for connection to a transfer line (22) connected to the length of rigid tube (50). The length of connecting tube (52) is permanently attached to the length of rigid tube (50) and is hinged to the length of rigid tube (50) to allow movement relative to the length of rigid tube (50) between: - a retracted rest position in which the length of connecting tube (52) extends entirely inside the inner edge (48); and - a first or filling position, in which the free end (86) of the length of connecting tube (52) projects out from the outer edge (48) of the support platform (40).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a mobile platform for the delivery of bulk explosives to a blast hole. One embodiment of the platform provides the ability to obtain weight information relating to the contents of a tank that is associated with the platform. Another embodiment of the platform provides a tank for holding an explosive composition and a rotary shaft that supports a mixing blade that mixes the explosive composition within the tank. A further embodiment of the platform comprises a conduit structure for discharging a bulk explosive into a blast hole that includes a substantially rigid tube with an outlet port for discharging a bulk explosive into the blast hole. In one embodiment, the outlet port can be positioned substantially adjacent to an operator's station to allow an operator to readily view the loading of the explosive into the blast hole.
Abstract:
A chemical loading system is used for loading a molten chemical into a tanker. The chemical loading system includes a source supplying a molten chemical and a tanker for receiving the molten chemical. The chemical loading system has a stationary feed line supplying a chemical from the source. An extendable loader has a feed passage that is in fluid communication with the feed line. The extendable loader has a retracted position and an extended position relative to the feed line. The feed passage is adapted to have at least a portion thereof inside the tanker when in the extendable loader is in the extended position. A hoist assembly selectively extends and retracts the extendable loader assembly between the retracted and extended positions.
