Oscillating Baffle For Airflow Redirection And Heat Transfer Enhancement
US Patent:
6443833, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:
Dec 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/648010
Inventors:
Charles W. Knisely - Lewisburg PA 17837
International Classification:
F26B 300
US Classification:
454285, 34229
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method to redirect airflow and enhance heat transfer using an oscillating baffle. This apparatus and method allows for the improved efficiency of a heat transfer tunnel, while reducing the size of the tunnel. Several embodiments of the oscillating baffle have a first degree of freedom and a second degree of freedom which allows it to oscillate under the power of the airflow. The method employs the oscillating baffle to redirect and mix the airflow in order to enhance heat transfer in a heat transfer tunnel. The oscillating baffle is used for cooling, for heating, for enhancing the mixing of a multi-component air flow or redirecting an air flow. Other applications could include use in dusty environments to provide high speed gas streams sweeping a wall to prevent the build-up of dust.

Assignee:
Susquehanna Yacht Manufacturing, Inc. - Lewisburg PA
International Classification:
B63B 15/00
US Classification:
114 90, 114 3932, 114 91
Abstract:
As one non-limiting example, a foldable mast assembly for a sailing vessel is provided. The foldable mast assembly includes a lower mast section; an intermediate mast section having a lower end foldably coupled to an upper end of the lower mast section; an upper mast section having a lower end foldably coupled to an upper end of the intermediate mast section; and a boom coupled to the lower mast section. A locking device internal the mast assembly is also provided to inhibit folding of the mast assembly.
Baking System And Method Using Oscillating Baffles For Heat Transfer Enhancement
US Patent:
5968578, Oct 19, 1999
Filed:
Dec 8, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/986700
Inventors:
Charles W. Knisely - Lewisburg PA
International Classification:
A23L 100, F25D 1700
US Classification:
426524
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method to redirect airflow and enhance heat transfer using an oscillating baffle in a baking system. This apparatus and method allows for the improved efficiency of a cooling tunnel, while reducing the size of the tunnel. Several embodiments of the oscillating baffle have a first degree of freedom and a second degree of freedom which allows it to oscillate under the power of the airflow. The method employs the oscillating baffle to redirect and mix the airflow in order to enhance heat transfer in the cooling tunnel. The oscillating baffle is used for cooling, for heating, for enhancing the mixing of a multi-component air flow or redirecting an air flow in the baking system.
