A turbidimeter includes a housing having a cavity with an inlet through which the fluid enters the bottom of the cavity, and an outlet through which the fluid exits the top of the cavity. A removable baffle assembly is located within the cavity between the inlet and outlet. The baffle assembly is formed by three vertical plates spaced from each other and extending across substantially the entire cross sectional area of the cavity. The first plate defines a first passage near the top of the cavity through which all the fluid entering the cavity must flow. The second and third walls define a second passage near the top of the cavity through which gas bubbles entrained in the fluid travels to the outlet. A third passage is defined between the first wall and the outlet and a mechanism is provided for measuring the turbidity of the fluid flowing through the third passage. A calibration device formed by a block of glass ceramic material is insertable in the third passage to simulate a known turbidity fluid.

An automated sample conditioning system for conditioning and preparing steam and hot water samples at a constant flow rate and velocity continuously monitors and adjusts flow rate in the sample line. Sample flow is metered through a flow rate device such as an orifice plate of known flow characteristics, and a downstream pressure value is provided by either a fixed back pressure regulator/relief valve or by a pipe section of known length and diameter. A pressure transducer continuously monitors pressure in the sample line upstream from the orifice plate. A control analyzer automatically adjusts a motorized pressure reducing device in response to fluctuations in pressure monitored by the pressure transducer in order to maintain constant flow rate and velocity. Monitoring devices and displays acquire, display and control critical pressure, temperature and flow rate parameters throughout the system. Network communications capability for remote, unattended monitoring control and data acquisition is also provided.

A technique is disclosed for cooling connections points in power electronic circuits, such as points at which wire bonding connections are made. A phase change heat spreader is thermally coupled at or near the connection point and a continuous phase change takes place in the heat spreader to extract heat from the connection point during operation. The heat spreader may extend over a area larger than the connection point to enhance cooling and to dissipate heat over a larger area. Small, specifically directed applications are possible in which specific points are cooled together or individually.

A power electronic module is cooled by a phase change heat spreader or cooling device. The module may include switched or unswitched devices, such as power transistors, diodes, and so forth, forming circuits such as rectifiers, inverters, converters, or the like, or portions of such circuits. Heat is transferred to the heat spreader in which a continuous phase change cycle takes place to cool the circuit components. The heat spreader may extend over an area sufficient to reduce the temperature of the components, and ultimately will render portions of the overall structure more isothermal.

An electrical bus assembly includes a frame and a plurality of bus bar carriers connected to the frame. The bus bars are supported by the bus bar carriers in parallel spaced-apart relation. A first retainer cap is secured to a first one of the plurality of bus bar carriers located adjacent a first end of the frame. A second retainer cap is secured to a second one of the plurality of bus bar carriers located adjacent a second end of the frame. The first and second retainer caps limit axial movement of the bus bars relative to the plurality of carriers sufficiently to prevent escape of the bus bars from the carriers. A bus bar connector is also disclosed for supplying power to or from the bus bars. An electrical bus system includes a first and second bus bar assemblies and a jumper connector assembly.

A technique is disclosed for cooling resistive elements, such as brake resistors used in motor drives, as well as other resistors. A phase change heat spreader is thermally coupled to the resistive element and a continuous phase change cycle takes place in the heat spreader to extract heat from the resistive element. The element and heat spreader may be packaged as a modular unit or may be integrated into a system.
