    摘要: A method and system for drying an active part of an electric transformer, by continuously determining a moisture content in the solid insulations during vapor phase drying in a drying oven and stopping this drying when an equilibrium moisture content is reached. Then, continuously determining a moisture content in the solid insulations during the retightening and geometric adjustment phase of the active part outside the drying oven and continuing with the determination of moisture content during vacuum drying once the active part is inside the hermetically sealed tank, and stopping vacuum drying when an equilibrium moisture content is reached in the solid insulations. The determination of moisture content and equilibrium moisture content is carried out by applying the diffusion equation.

    摘要: A method for dehydration and critical point drying of a sample in a single chamber is introduced, comprising the steps of (a) dehydrating the sample by replacing water by an intermediate fluid, (b) replacing the intermediate fluid by a transitional fluid, (c) pressurising the transitional fluid to or beyond its critical pressure and/or heating the transitional fluid (4 to or beyond its critical temperature, and (d) in response to gradually releasing the pressure, letting the transitional fluid gasify and escape from the sample. In step (a) and/or step (b), a ratio of the fluid to-be-replaced to the replacing fluid is measured and used to control a supply of the replacing fluid.The method reduces consumption of intermediate fluid and/or transitional fluid, making the process more efficient in terms of duration and user interaction while ensuring a high degree of dryness and the integrity of the sample.

    摘要: Systems and methods for treating wood and wood products, including a structure defining a wood treating zone, an air heating zone, a heated air supply zone, and a cooled air return zone. Heating units feed conduits defining one or more heat transfer surfaces and an indirect heat exchange substructure. The heated air supply zone includes left and right heated air plenums, and the cooled air return zone includes a return duct, all internal of the wood treating zone. A movable cart moves spaced apart, stacked wood products into and out of the wood heating zone. The cart and wood thereon fit closely within but do not touch the wood treating zone. An air blower internal of the heated air supply zone and in fluid communication with the air heating zone and the heated air supply zone recirculates air. An exhaust blower vents some of the cooled air.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods of cleaning and drying applicator tools, such as brushes, cosmetic applicators, or cosmetic tools, are disclosed. An applicator tool cleaning apparatus according to various embodiments includes an applicator tool holder configured to hold multiple applicators of various sizes with the applicator heads facing down. The applicator tool cleaning apparatus further comprises a cleaning chamber that can dispense liquid to saturate the applicator heads and contact the applicator heads with a textured surface to dislodge collected materials on the applicator heads. Additionally, the applicator tool cleaning apparatus may comprise a drying chamber where drying mechanisms blow air or dissipate heat at the applicator heads until dried. The applicator tool holder may be moved vertically between the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber via a motor and drive mechanism of the applicator tool cleaning apparatus. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the applicator tool holder may be flipped such that the applicator heads are facing upwards and aligned with the drying mechanisms.
