Abstract:
Arrangements for internal combustion engine exhaust manifold converter-reactors for controlling hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. The arrangements involve concentric primary and secondary oxidizing zones separated by a tubular element forming a reduction catalyst. A swirl flow is created by tangential entry of inlet ports to the primary oxidizing zones to maximize residence times in the various zones.
Abstract:
A dishwasher having an improved water condensation arrangement for use therewith including a dishwasher chamber having fluid circulating means together with means for providing a washing, rinsing and drying function in the compartment. A volatile fluid plate-type heat exchanger including continuous interconnected flow passages therein having a lower evaporator section in heat exchange relation with a wall of the chamber and an upper condenser section located in a cooling air duct between the chamber and the outer casing so as to be in heat exchange with a source of circulating cooling air to effect removal of moisture from the vapor in the dishwashing chamber to facilitate the drying of dishes within the chamber.
