Abstract:
A system for measuring an in-ash unburned combustibles concentration includes: a storage that stores therein the pieces of characteristic data; and an arithmetic processor including a selector and an in-ash unburned combustibles concentration calculator. The selector selects, from among the pieces of characteristic data stored, a piece of characteristic data whose first reflected light intensity index is the same as, or similar to, the first reflected light intensity index of subject ash. By using the correlation information contained in the piece of characteristic data that has been selected, the in-ash unburned combustibles concentration calculator calculates an in-ash unburned combustibles concentration corresponding to the second reflected light intensity index of the subject ash as the in-ash unburned combustibles concentration of the subject ash.

Abstract:
A method includes measuring a water content and a magnetized matter content of molding sand discharged from green sand casting equipment; comparing the measured water content with a first control value, and if the water content exceeds the first control value, drying the molding sand until the water content becomes equal to or less than the first control value; comparing the measured magnetized matter content with a second control value, and if the magnetized matter content exceeds the second control value, magnetically separating the molding sand until the magnetized matter content becomes equal to or less than the second control value; thereafter, reclaiming the molding sand by dry mechanical reclamation until a loss-on-ignition becomes equal to or less than a third control value; and classifying the molding sand until a total clay content becomes equal to or less than a fourth control value.
Abstract:
An electrostatic air cleaner may be operated according to a manner designed to achieve acceptable air quality while balancing power usage and corona electrode degradation levels. The voltage applied to the corona electrode(s) may be controlled as well as the voltage applied to repelling electrodes and air flow velocity. The air cleaner may also be operated to achieve desired particle separation.

Abstract:
An air purification device with ozone and find dust cleaning, and optionally heating, cooling and dehumidifying function, is formed for installation in a room of a building. The air purification device comprises a first air channel to supply fresh air and a second air channel to discharge extract air. The two air channels lead through a heat exchanger. The air purification device further comprises a third air channel which opens into the first air channel after the heat exchanger. An electric filter/ozone generator is arranged in the first air channel after the first inlet and in the third air channel after the third inlet. A first fan is arranged in the first air channel after the electric filter/ozone generator and a second fan is arranged before the active carbon filter. A control unit is programmed to operate in at least one first operating mode the second fan with a higher suction power than the first fan.
