Abstract: A centrifugal fan (10) has blades (24) the effective width of which are variable during fan operation through the actuation of modulation apparatus (32) which rotates with the fan wheel (14) and is driven thereby. The modulation apparatus (32) isolates the blocked-off and unused portions of the fan blades (24) which prevents the interaction of the blocked off portion of the blades with air flowing through the fan housing (12) in a manner which results in a highly efficient and extremely quiet fan.

Abstract: A method of molding and a mold for making bathtubs are disclosed. The mold includes a mold receptor (52) and a deck insert (34) attached to the mold receptor face. The preferred deck insert has at least one projection (36) designed to reduce the cross-sectional area of a portion of a void between the shell's deck and the deck forming face of the insert. Preferably, the distance from the outer edge of the shell's deck to the outer edge of the projection is about 16 % of the length of the deck of the sanitary fixture. In an alternative embodiment, the deck insert has at least one outermost projection (36a) and at least one non-outermost projection. The outermost projection is preferably about half the height of the non-outermost projection. In another preferred embodiment, the deck insert includes at least one outermost projection (36b) and at least one non-outermost projection. The height of the outermost projection varies from a maximum height near the middle of the deck, to a minimum height near the end of the deck. The mold receptor receives a shell (22) which has a finish side and a non-finish side. The shell is placed in the mold receptor leaving a void between the non-finish side of the sheel and the deck insert of the receptor. The insert is attached to the mold receptor to reduce the cross-sectional area of a portion of the space between the shell deck and mold receptor. A male mold (54) engages the finish side of the shell, sealably retaining the shell to the mold receptor. A polymeric material is introduced into the void between the receptor and the shell. The polymeric material fills the void and coats the shell. The molded bathtub is then removed from the mold receptor after the male mold has been remove. The non-finish side is coated with a polymeric material and has an area of reduced thickness in the polymeric material coating the deck.

Abstract: A composite structure, e.g. a platic-backed enameled carbon steel or stainless steel finish product has high impact, delamination and thermal shock resistance. The composite structure is formed from a carbon steel or stainless steel shell having a finish side which may have a polished, ceramic, enameled, polymeric or metallic coating. On the other, non-finish side of the shell a layer of reinforced plastic is bonded directly to the steel or stainless steel shell using silane to form a laminated structure. The finish layer is resistant to deformation and delamination when subjected to relatively high impact applied directly to the finish or to the plastic layer surface, or when the composite structure is subjected to a sudden temperature change.

Abstract: This multiple ply assembly (10) yields individual invoice/itinerary sheets (21, 22, 23, 70) and a traveler's ticket-holding folder (25) with the invoice/itinerary information printed directly on the flap. Invoice/itinerary information entered on the outer ply (21) is printed on the area corresponding in size and orientation on all plies. When this corresponding portion (54) of the next to last ply (24) is detached, yielding an additional invoice/itinerary sheet (70), the remainder (72) of the next to last ply (24) forms a pocket on one corner of the last ply (25) by means of adhesive (60). The portion (55) of the last ply (25) corresponding in size and orientation to the outer ply (21) forms the flap of a ticket-holding folder (25), of which the aforementioned pocket is a part.

Abstract: The flow, use, interaction and separation of lubricant and gas flowing through the suction pressure portion of a low-side refrigeration scroll compressor is managed by the use of a drive motor mounting sleeve and a multi-ported frame. The mounting sleeve and frame provide for the direction of oil to surfaces within the low side of the compressor shell which require lubrication as well as the conduct of suction gas to the scroll compression mechanism in a manner which cools the compressor drive motor yet which maintains the respective flows of oil and suction gas sufficiently separate to ensure that excessive amounts of oil are not conducted out of the compressor in the gas which is compressed thereby. Lubrication is enhanced by the use of a vent passage which opens into a relatively lower pressure region within the suction pressure portion of the compressor shell. The vent induces lift and assists in the delivery of oil, upward and through a gallery in the compressor's drive shaft, to the various surfaces in the upper portion of the compressor which require lubrication.

Abstract: The position of a slide valve in a screw compressor in a refrigeration system is controlled using a gaseous medium sourced from the higher pressure of two or more sources of such fluid. Preferred sources are refrigerant gas in a closed compression pocket in the working chamber of the compressor and refrigerant gas in the discharge passage downstream of the compressor's discharge port. The multiple sources of such gas are connected to a solenoid valve which, when open, permits gas to act on the piston which controls the position of the slide valve. Due to a check valve arrangement, it is always the one of the sources of gas which is at higher pressure that acts on the slide valve actuating piston. The adverse affects of refrigerant gas out-gassing and gas bubble collapse associated with use of hydraulic fluid rather than a gaseous medium to modulate compressor capacity are avoided while advantageous use is made of compressor overcompression in the control of slide valve position.

Abstract: An average temperature sensor designed for use in an air conditioning unit, wherein the air conditioning unit has a high pressure region and a low pressure region, and a method for making an average temperature measurement. The average temperature sensor senses the average temperature of air flowing in the high pressure region and comprises a device for conveying a flow of air that is in fluid communication with the high pressure region. A temperature sensor is disposed in a temperature sensing relationship to the device for conveying the flow of air. The high pressure in the high pressure region induces a flow of air in the device for conveying a flow of air. This flow of air flows from the high pressure region to the low pressure region and is at the average temperature of the air in the high pressure region. The device for conveying the flow of air includes a plurality of air inlets selectively disposed within the high pressure region to receive a sample flow of air that has a temperature that is representative of the average temperature of the air flowing in the high pressure region.

Abstract: A screw compressor employs a piston unloader which is disposed in a bore remote from the compressor's working chamber. Flow communication between the bore and working chamber is through a series of non-overlapping unloader ports. The unloader piston has a notched end face which effectively causes the unloader ports to overlap in operation. Precise and continuous capacity control of the compressor over a predetermined portion of its operating range is thereby achieved while internal high to low side gas leakage within the compressor and the clearance volume of the unloader ports is minimized. Compressor efficiency is thereby increased.

Abstract: A polymeric composite structure having a polymeric shell layer with a finish-side and a non-finish side and a cross-linked thermosetting polymeric backing layer and method of manufacturing thereof is provided. The cross-linked thermosetting polymeric backing layer is simultaneously molded to conform to the shape of and bonded directly to essentially the entire non-finish side of the polymeric shell layer. The method includes forming the polymeric shell having a finish-side and non-finish side into a suitable shape, placing the shell into a mold, and introducing an uncured blended mixture of unsaturated thermosetting polymeric backing material and cross-linking promoter into the mold to force the backing material to directly coat the non-finish side of the shell. Curing the molded thermosetting polymeric backing material at a suitable temperature and sufficient time allows hardening and cross-linking of the thermosetting polymeric material and bonding directly to the non-finish side of the polymeric shell to permit demolding of the composite structure without damage.
