Abstract:
Heating system including a reaction vessel containing a liquid metal mixture and a reservoir containing an oxidizing agent, a supply duct including a control-cock for communicating the oxidizing agent to the vessel for an exothermic reaction with the metal, and an inert gas reservoir communicating through another duct into the supply duct. In the reaction vessel is a centrifuge, with an outlet for the inert gas in the vicinity of the rotary shaft of the centrifuge.
Abstract:
A heater system comprising a reaction vessel having a liquid metal mixture and a container of oxidant communicating therewith via a regulating valve. The oxidant reacts with the metal melt exothermically producing solid and/or liquid reaction products. The system furthermore comprises a spare container filled with the same metal mixture, this spare container being in heat contact with the reaction vessel and in communication with said vessel through a supply duct and removal duct; pumping means are present for maintaining a continuous liquid flow from the reaction vessel to the spare container, all this in such manner that the formed reaction products settle in the spare container.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a gas-filled electric incandescent lamp particularly a low-voltage incandescent lamp in which the wire diameter of the incandescent civil varies in different axial sections. The diameter of the tungsten wire is reduced at the end turns and is increased in the middle with the aid of a chemical cycle process either before or after mounting in the lamp in order to reduce the temperature differences between the turns in the middle and at the end of the coil during operation of the lamp at the prescribed operating voltage.
Abstract:
A heater system comprising a reaction vessel containing a mixture of metals which is melted during operation, an oxidant container, at least one duct with outlet member for communicating the oxidant to the reaction vessel for an exothermic reaction therein with the metal mixture, and a container having an inert gas which communicates via a regulating valve with the duct between the oxidant container and the reaction vessel; the outlet member is readily cooled and manufactured from a material which is not or substantially not wetted by the liquid in the reaction vessel.
Abstract:
Apparatus for converting heat energy into mechanical energy, particularly a hot-gas engine, in which a working medium performs a cycle between an expansion space of higher temperature and a compression space of lower temperature, there being provided a heating system for supplying heat to the expansion space and a cooler for conducting away heat form the compression space. The heating system includes a reaction vessel containing a metal mixture heatable to a liquid phase and an oxydizing agent reservoir containing the oxydizing agent in the liquid phase, the oxydizing agent being supplied in a dosed gaseous form to the reaction vessel for exothermic reaction with the metal. The cooling water is passed from the cooler to the reservoir to provide heat from partially evaporating the liquid oxydizing agent therein.
