The coolant-carrying tube(s) includes multiple tube lengths disposed substantially in a common plane, and an out-of-plane tube bend. The out-of-plane tube bend is couples in fluid communication first and second tube lengths of the multiple tube lengths, and extends out-of-plane from the multiple tube lengths disposed in the common plane. The first and second tube lengths may be spaced apart, with a third tube length disposed between them, and the coolant-carrying tube(s) further includes an in-plane tube bend which couples in fluid communication the third tube length and a fourth tube length of the multiple tube lengths. | 09-04-2014 |
20140246175 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE IN A VESSEL - A system for preheating a pressure vessel includes a throat including an area of excess heat and a dome having an area of deficient heat. The throat includes a conduit extending from a pressure vessel opening to the pressure vessel interior. A plenum is defined between the throat and a seal within the dome. The throat extends from the dome toward a dome floor. The floor is substantially perpendicular to the throat. A conduit is coupled to the plenum and channels a flow of purge fluid into the plenum wherein heat from the throat is transferred to the flow of purge fluid and carried by the flow of purge fluid into the area of deficient heat via a gap defined between the seal and the floor such that the flow of purge fluid reduces temperature differential stresses within the pressure vessel and purges the area of deficient heat. | 09-04-2014 |
20140262155 | ORBITAL WELDING SYSTEM WITH COOLED DRIVE HOUSING - Systems for cooling a drive block are provided. A system for a cooled drive housing can include a drive block configured to at least partially surround a drive assembly, an insulating plate configured to close at least a portion of a first side of the drive block, at least one motor receiver within the drive block configured to receive at least one drive motor, and at least one coolant passage configured to circulate coolant through the cooled drive housing. Additional systems are disclosed for cooling a housing for use with an orbital welding system and others. | 09-18-2014 |
20140305615 | AIR CONDITIONING UNITS - A ducted unit having first and second outlets wherein the first and second outlets are connected to each other by outlet ducting to form a closed loop, the outlet ducting having at least two spaced apertures for ejecting air within the outlet ducting at substantially constant pressure such that the air pressure within the closed loop outlet ducting is substantially equalized such that the outlets operate at a substantially constant pressure. | 10-16-2014 |

20140318743 | Unified Cooling in Multiple Polyolefin Polymerization Reactors - A system and method for a polyolefin reactor temperature control system having a first reactor temperature control path, a second reactor temperature control path, and a shared temperature control path. The shared temperature control path is configured to combine and process coolant return streams, and to provide coolant supply for the first reactor temperature control path and the second reactor temperature control path. | 10-30-2014 |
20140352922 | COOLING OF CHILL MOLDS USING BAFFLES - A chill mold is used to cool molten material to form a casting. A support holds the chill mold so that a bottom of the chill mold is elevated. A baffle is arranged to divert a generally horizontal flow of cooling air upwardly to impinge the bottom of the chill mold. A plurality of chill molds may be aligned generally in a row, and at least one fan may be arranged at an end of the row to direct the flow of cooling air underneath the chill molds. The size and the vertical position of the baffles may be varied along the row, so as to generally equalize convective cooling rates among the chill molds in the row. | 12-04-2014 |
20150053374 | AIR CONDITIONER - An air conditioner includes a cabinet forming an external appearance of the air conditioner and is provided with an opening, and a cover to open and close the opening. The cover includes a cover body to cover the opening and includes a first cover body and a second cover body that are spaced apart from each other, and a spacing rib provided between the first cover body and the second cover body such that the first cover is spaced apart from the second cover body. | 02-26-2015 |
20150060016 | METHOD FOR POOLING THERMAL ENERGY, AND HEAT EXCHANGE LOOP SYSTEM BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL AND TERTIARY SITES - The invention concerns a system for exchanging heat by means of a loop in which a heat transfer fluid circulates, between a plurality of industrial and tertiary sites, each site possibly being a producer and/or consumer with the aim of reducing the energy factor on the district scale. | 03-05-2015 |
