The present invention relates to a vent pipe de-icing system that has a first external pipe, a first internal pipe, a second external pipe and a second internal pipe. The external pipes sit above the top surface of a vent pipe, and the internal pipes sit within the vent pipe. The internal pipes are connected to a hot water tank and or pump that pumps hot water or other heated fluid through the pipes such that the heated fluid exits the external pipes and falls into the inside surface of the vent pipe. In this manner, the device can be used to continuously defrost or de-ice a vent pipe and prevent ice from forming. The device can further be controlled via a mobile application, which allows a user to control when and how much fluid is pumped within the device.

An apparatus for producing a composition that includes nano-bubbles dispersed in a liquid carrier includes: (a) an elongate housing comprising a first end and a second end, the housing defining a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, and an interior cavity adapted for receiving the liquid carrier from a liquid source; and (b) a gas-permeable member at least partially disposed within the interior cavity of the housing. The gas-permeable member includes an open end adapted for receiving a pressurized gas from a gas source, a closed end, and a porous sidewall extending between the open and closed ends having a mean pore size no greater than 1.0 μm. The gas-permeable member defines an inner surface, an outer surface, and a lumen. The housing and gas-permeable member are configured to form a composition that includes the liquid carrier and the nano-bubbles dispersed therein.

Systems and methods for generating a thin film of a fluid are described. In an embodiment, a fluid support structure may be configured to receive a fluid, such as water, at a top surface and to support the fluid over at least a portion of the top surface. Channels may be formed in the top surface of the fluid support structure. Wiper blades may be configured to move over the top surface in contact with at least a portion of the fluid to form the fluid into a thin film. The wiper blades may include protrusions corresponding to the channels. As the wiper blades move over the top surface, the protrusions may move within the channels forming a thin film of the fluid within the channels. According to some embodiments, the fluid support structure may be configured as an evaporation surface configured to facilitate the evaporation of the fluid.

Described herein are embodiments of systems and methods for oxidizing gases. In some embodiments, a reaction chamber is configured to receive a fuel gas and maintain the gas at a temperature within the reaction chamber that is above an autoignition temperature of the gas. The reaction chamber may also be configured to maintain a reaction temperature within the reaction chamber below a flameout temperature. In some embodiments, heat and product gases from the oxidation process can be used, for example, to drive a turbine, reciprocating engine, and injected back into the reaction chamber.
摘要:
A self-propelled construction machine for working roadways or surfaces includes a machine frame supported by ground engaging units, and a milling drum which can rotate about an axis of rotation extending transverse to the advance direction of the construction machine. The construction machine includes a cooling device for spraying the milling tools of the milling drum with a coolant from a coolant reservoir. The cooling device is designed such that at least one coolant jet extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the milling drum is produced. A single coolant jet which extends transverse to the working direction of the milling drum is sufficient for cooling the milling tools. When the milling drum is rotating, the milling tools of the milling drum pass through the coolant jet successively. Owing to the relatively close arrangement of the milling tools in the circumferential direction of the milling drum, the time intervals in which a milling tool is not passing through a coolant jet are relatively short, and as a result the coolant consumption can be reduced.
