TL;DR: In this article, a workpiece (26) is placed in a mold cavity between the top mold and the bottom mold, and the mold cavity is closed to shape the workpiece.
Abstract: The molding apparatus includes a press (10) with a top mold (12) and a bottom mold (14). The top mold (12) has a die (32) with a contoured die surface (34) and gas passages (36). The bottom mold (14) has a die 44 with a contoured die surface (46). The die (44) is made from either a solid piece of material with gas passages or from a porous material. During operation of the molding apparatus, a workpiece (26) is placed in a mold cavity between the top mold and the bottom mold. The mold cavity (24) is closed to shape the workpiece. The workpiece is heated by hot gas supplied by a gas supply and recirculation system (52) when the diverter valves (68 and 70) are opened and gas flows from gas circulation fan 56 to the gas heater chamber (54) to the bottom mold (14), through the die 44, through the workpiece (26), through the die 32 and back to the inlet side of the gas circulation fan (56). When the workpiece (26) has been heated to the desired temperature for the required time, the diverter valves (68 and 70) are closed. When the diverter valves are closed, gas flows through the gas recirculation duct 62 from the gas heater chamber (54) to the inlet of the gas circulation fan (56). The mold cavity 24 is then opened and the workpiece (26) is removed and an unformed workpiece is placed in the mold cavity to repeat the cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, a precoat agent is added to the cooled waste gas, which is introduced into a bag filter 17 to collect dust, and then the waste gas is used in a recuperator 20a using heat resistant, acidproof synthetic resin tubes of a medium circulating type gas/gas heater such as 'Teflon(R)' tubes and cooled, and the cooled wasted gas is subjected to desulfurization treatment.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lower the smoke dust concentration at the outlet of a bag filter without the danger of corrosion, to make excel in economicity and further to remove harmful substances such as mercury and dioxin in waste gas at the same time. SOLUTION: After waste coal combustion gas is subjected to denitrification treatment, it is introduced into an air preheater 14 to recover heat, and then a precoat agent is added to the cooled waste gas, which is introduced into a bag filter 17 to collect dust. After that, the waste gas is introduced into a recuperator 20a using heat resistant, acidproof synthetic resin tubes of a medium circulating type gas/gas heater such as 'Teflon(R)' tubes and cooled, and then the cooled wasted gas is subjected to desulfurization treatment. After that, the waste gas is introduced into a reheater 26 of the medium circulating type gas/gas heater and reheated and led to a stuck 28. As the precoat agent, at least one selected from the group consisting of powdery active material, powdery active coke, powdery slaked limes, powdery caustic lime, powdery limestone, and fly ash is used.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-way valve diverts the central-heating boiler circuit through a bypass, and the burner lights to heat the cylinder make-up water, temperature-regulated at the boiler.
Abstract: A burner (2) heats the central-heating boiler (1) directly. Hot water is continuously available (11) from a boiler heat-exchanger (7), via a small (under 20 1) cylinder (10). If its measured (17) flow exceeds a set value, a two-way valve (5) diverts the radiator circuit (4,3) through a by-pass (12), and, in summer, the burner lights to heat the cylinder make-up water, temperature-regulated at the boiler (15). During idle periods, cylinder temperature is maintained by a local thermostat (16), similarly activating the burner and by-pass. An indirect coil (13) in the latter - opt., a small electric heater - transfers the heat required. The burner does not light for brief or low-volume demands, through repeated draw-offs will initiate reheating as cylinder temperature falls.

The absorbing soln. in the regeneration tower 19 is cooled by the absorbing soln. heat exchanger 22 and further cooled to temp. necessary for absorbing carbon dioxide by an absorbing soln. cooler 24 to be supplied to an absorbing tower 18. The absorbing soln. stored in the regeneration tower 19 is further heated in an absorbing soln. regenerating heat exchanger 25 by the exhaust gas of the boiler 10.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to miniaturize a gas heater to reduce the cost of equipment by heating the cathode gas of individual fuel cells one by one at the cold start of the fuel cells together with blowers in a circulation line.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To miniaturize a gas heater to reduce the cost of equipment by heating the cathode gas of individual fuel cells one by one at the cold start of the fuel cells together with blowers in a circulation line. CONSTITUTION:A blower 26 and a cathode gas heater 27 are driven with stop valves 34, 36 open and all the other valves closed, to heat the cathode gas of a first molten carbonate fuel cell 11. When heating of the cell 11 is finished, a second molten carbonate fuel cell 12 is heated with stop valves 38, 40 open and all the other valves closed. When heating of the cell 12 is finished, the next fuel cell is heated and then other fuel cells are heated similarly, and finally the anode gas of an (n) molten carbonate fuel cell 1n is heated with stop valves 42, 44 open and all the other valves closed. Since the individual cells 11, 12...1n have their cathode gas heated one by one, a capacity for one cell is sufficient for the capacity of the cathode gas heater 27. The expensive heater 27 can then be miniaturized and equipment cost can be reduced.

TL;DR: In this article, a gas heater has a burner (8), the temp. of which is monitored by a temp. regulator (16) which when a critical tamp is reached, shuts off the gas supply to the burner.
Abstract: The gas heater has a burner (8), the temp. of which is monitored. An inadequate supply of gas and air, or a disturbance in inflow or outflow, leads to an increase in the burner flame on the plate (9), thus raising the burner temp.. This is picked up by a temp. regulator (16) which when a critical tamp. is reached, shuts off the gas supply to the burner. Any further excess heating which might lead to impermissible emission of carbon monoxide is thus prevented. The temp. regulator is in narrow thermal contact with the burner plate, and may be set to a switching off temp. which will prevent heat damage to the plate as well as preventing increased CO emission.

TL;DR: The Nitech process as discussed by the authors employs a single column and a cryogenic separation of methane and nitrogen as the basis of operation, and the major equipment consists of a molecular-sieve gas dehydrator and associated regeneration gas heater, an aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger, and a single patented process column.
Abstract: A nitrogen-rejection process for reservoirs producing 1--50 MMscfd with 10--60% inlet nitrogen content has a successful fullscale commercial installation at the Mist field in Columbia County, Oregon. In the Nitech process, developed and installed by BCCK Engineering Inc., Midland, Texas, the product or sales-gas stream can be delivered at a purity of as low as 2% total inert content if required by local pipeline specifications. It employs a single column and cryogenic separation of methane and nitrogen as the basis of operation. The design keeps equipment requirements to a minimum. The major equipment consists of a molecular-sieve gas dehydrator and associated regeneration gas heater, an aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger, and a single patented process column. Mist has proven that the process will provide successful operation over a wide operating range reflecting various operating conditions. BCCK's NRU cost, uninstalled, for a 10-MMscfd gas stream is approximately $0.18/1 Mscf inlet. When costs are also included for installation and compression, the total cost for the installed facility is between $0.30--0.45/1 Mscf inlet of processed gas.
