Fluid Jet Shredder Apparatus And Method Of Use

US Patent:

4986479, Jan 22, 1991

Filed:

Aug 14, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/393898

Inventors:

Michael C. Swarden - Cambridge MA
Henry B. Faulkner - Dover MA
Walter L. Brassert - Belmont MA
James E. Stoudt - Stamford CT

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff Lake NJ

International Classification:

B02C 1906

US Classification:

241 15

Abstract:

A fluid jet shredder apparatus includes a conveyor for conveying a stream of material to be shredded. The conveyor has openings formed therein. A shredding station in position adjacent the conveyor and includes a fluid jet cutting nozzle directing a high pressure jet of fluid onto the stream of material. As a result, portions of the material are separated from the stream of material. The separated portions of material pass through the openings in the conveyor. A subsequent shredding station can be positioned downstream of the initial shredding station for directing a second and higher pressure jet of fluid onto the stream of material. The subsequent shredding station can therefore shred material which the initial, relatively lower pressure fluid jet failed to shred from the stream. Sequential shredding stations of incrementally increased pressure can progressively shred material of increased hardness from the stream. The fluid jets can selectively include an abrasive material.

Piston Having Ceramic Parts

US Patent:

4955284, Sep 11, 1990

Filed:

Feb 27, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/315977

Inventors:

Henry B. Faulkner - Dover MA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff Lake NJ

International Classification:

F16J 900

US Classification:

92248

Abstract:

A piston has a first endwall, a second endwall and a tubular ceramic sidewall extending between and forming a closed cylinder with the endwalls. The piston does not include a piston ring. The first endwall is substantially flexible and is releasably interconnected with the second endwall by means of connection with an extended portion of an associated piston rod mounted in a hub of the second endwall. As a result, the first endwall is urged into a concave configuration. The ceramic piston sidewall is mounted for reciprocation within a ceramic cylindrical wall. An anti-rotation device is provided to limit rotation of the endwalls relative to the sidewall, and another anti-rotation device is provided to limit rotation of the hub relative to the piston rod.

Inlet Air Cooling System

US Patent:

5259196, Nov 9, 1993

Filed:

Dec 16, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/991604

Inventors:

Henry B. Faulkner - Dover MA
Michael C. Swarden - Cambridge both of MA

Assignee:

Northern Research & Engineering Corp. - Woburn MA

International Classification:

F02B 2904

US Classification:

60599

Abstract:

An inlet air cooling system for natural gas compression. The system provides both inlet air refrigeration for the internal combustion engine and additional natural gas compression. Also provided is a leakage control system for any natural gas or hydrocarbon leakage from the combined cycle system. The leakage is collected and introduced into a low pressure portion of the engine air intake system where it is burned along with the normal engine fuel.

Inlet Air Cooling System

Double Poppet Valve Apparatus

US Patent:

5085179, Feb 4, 1992

Filed:

Jun 1, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/359979

Inventors:

Henry B. Faulkner - Dover MA

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Woodcliff NJ

International Classification:

F02B 3306

US Classification:

123 70R

Abstract:

A double poppet valve apparatus is mounted in a combustion chamber wall. A port is formed in the wall. A first valve member is mounted in the port. A second valve member is concentrically mounted within the first valve member. One or more resilient members are provided for urging each of the valve members into respective seated positions. The first valve member is moved in a first direction and the second valve member is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction. The valve movement is effected by a cam operably engaged with a pair of rocker arms each of which is associated with one of the valve members.

Turbocharger-Based Bleed-Air Driven Fuel Gas Booster System And Method

US Patent:

5488823, Feb 6, 1996

Filed:

Jun 13, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/258768

Inventors:

Henry B. Faulkner - Dover MA
James B. Kesseli - Mont Vernon NH
Michael C. Swarden - Cambridge MA
Willem Jansen - Weston MA

Assignee:

Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F02C 322

US Classification:

60 3902

Abstract:

A method and system for increasing the pressure of gaseous fuel delivered to a fuel system of a gas turbine engine. A portion of pressurized gas or compressed air is discharged from a high-pressure section of the gas turbine engine and is communicated to a plurality of radial inflow turbines or axial flow turbines. Energy is transferred from each turbine to a plurality of compressors driven by the turbines. Gaseous fuel is supplied to an inlet of one of the compressors. The compressed gaseous fuel is then cooled downstream of the compressors. The aftercooled and compressed gaseous fuel is delivered to the fuel system of the gas turbine engine.
