Heating system for the manufacture of plastic articles

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for heating thermoplastic parisons to a substantially uniform temperature across their wall thickness prior to a blow molding operation. The parisons are rotated about their longitudinal axes while being conveyed adjacent a thermal conditioning means, which includes vertically spaced radiant heating elements and a gaseous cooling source. The heating elements radiate infra-red rays having a wave length to penetrate and heat the full thickness of the parison wall; whereas the gaseous cooling source directs a stream of air onto the surface of the parison facing the heating elements to prevent the parison surface from being overheated. Additionally, each of the heating elements may be individually regulated so that the parisons can be differentially heated along their axes to control the wall thickness of the final blown articles.

Heating system and method

Abstract: A heating system employing a heat pump, which is provided with a source of heat created by a second system employing refrigerant as a heat transfer medium, is provided. In the second system the refrigerant passes through a structure wherein the refrigerant is boiled. The refrigerant is then passed by vapor pressure to a heat exchange structure where it gives off heat. The heat energy for boiling such refrigerant may be a readily available source of heat such as the ground, or a water storage system such as a pond, lake, swimming pool, river, well, or creek.

Apparatus for collecting and thermally storing energy

Abstract: An apparatus for collecting and storing energy includes a thermal energy storage cell having a single-piece steel inner core provided with external thermal insulation. A unit for collecting and converting non-electrical energy into electrical energy, such as a solar cell unit, is connected to electrical resistance heating elements within the inner core for heating the latter to a temperature in excess of 1,000° F. Heat energy stored in the inner core is transferred to a heat transfer liquid, such as synthetic oil, which is circulated through a conduit having heating coils within the inner core. The heat transfer liquid, which remains in a liquid condition when heated to a temperature in excess of 1,000° F., is used in heat utilizing systems such as the heating system of a house.

Home heating and cooling system

Abstract: A home heating and cooling system consisting of a pair of large water tanks and a heat-operated absorption-type refrigeration system disposed between the tanks and operable to transfer heat from one tank to the other. The "hot" tank supplies hot water for operating a hot water home heating system, supplies a portion of the heat necessary to operate the refrigeration system, and may also operate a home hot water supply system, drawing heat from the "cold" tank and from the atmosphere through the refrigeration system. In periods of low heat demand, it may store large amounts of heat for later use in periods of higher demand, thereby reducing the heating load imposed on the refrigeration unit. The "cold" tank supplies a cold liquid for a home cooling system operable by such liquid, and the heat absorbed by said cooling system, together with heat absorbed from the atmosphere, is transferred to the hot tank by the refrigeration unit. The cold tank is capable of storing large quantities of cold water, or even ice, in periods of zero or low cooling demand, which may absorb the heat removed by the cooling system, whereby to reduce the cooling load on the refrigeration system in periods of higher demand for cooling.
