Agent: Frishauf, Holtz, Goodman & Chick, PC

20070186872 - Low co water heater: A water heater including a water container, a combustion chamber adjacent the water heater, a burner associated with the combustion chamber and arranged to combust fuel to heat water in the water container, a flue having an upper portion and a lower portion operatively connected to the combustion chamber and... Agent: Ip Group Of Dla Piper US LLP

20070186873 - Pressure control isolation and flood preventative tank for a hot water based heating system: The present invention provides a pressure control isolation tank for a closed loop heating system. A diaphragm within the tank separates heating system fluid from non-system fluid. The heating system fluid is provided under constant pressure, typically 12 PSI. Usually the non-system fluid is service water or clean water flowing... Agent: David Giglio, Esq.

20070186874 - Moisture separator and reheater: Contrasted to the prior art, the present invention presents a path for the cycle steam having the fewest possible changes in direction to minimize parasite pressure losses. This invention accommodates proportioning the flow areas of the moisture separator-reheater(s) assembly to optimize performance of extracting the maximum energy from the cycle... Agent: Hrant H. Yousoufian

20070181081 - High efficiency, wet-base, downfired multi-pass water heater: A fuel-fired water heater has a three-pass condensing type heat exchanger disposed within its tank and having a central vertical first pass flue pipe separated into upper and lower portions by an internal dividing structure. Respectively coupled to the upper and lower first pass flue pipe portions are circumferentially spaced... Agent: Haynes And Boone, LLP

20070181082 - Method of assessing the performance of a steam generator: A grading system for a pressurized water reactor steam generator secondary side performance that provides a cumulative assessment of tube bundle deposit inventory and characteristics, i.e., scale density and distribution, hard scale collar formation, thermal performance, loose parts management, and steam generator secondary side chemistry performance. Results are summarized in... Agent: Joseph C. Spadacene Westinghouse Electric Company LLC

20070175411 - Oxygen-producing oxycombustion boiler: The boiler of the invention has a circulating fluidized bed, uses solid fuels and the oxygen obtained by high temperature oxygen production membranes, and is characterized in that the membranes are placed in the bed. These membranes are, for example, of the OTM (Oxygen Transport Membranes) type. Since the membranes... Agent: Alstom Power Inc. Intellectual Property Law Dept.

20070175412 - Method and apparatus for the vaporization of lpg utilizing infrared heat sources and heat exchangers: An apparatus and method for the vaporization of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), having infrared burners 32A and 32B and primary and secondary heat exchangers 14 and 18, respectively. A float switch 16 prevents the carryover of liquid into the produced LPG vapor stream. Fuel lines 24A-C provide the burners with... Agent: Richard Driftmeier

20070175413 - Suspended steam boiler: Suspended steam boiler, in which the steam boiler lower portion (5), having inclined tubes, is suspended from the steam boiler upper portion (1), having vertical tubes exclusively from the vertical tubes of the latter without additional external tensile or support elements....
