Vertical Buckstay/Leveler Attachment To A Horizontal Buckstay
US Patent:
5317993, Jun 7, 1994
Filed:
Dec 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/997828
Inventors:
Ronald G. Payne - West Simsbury CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F22B 3724
US Classification:
122510
Abstract:
It has now been found that these and other objects of the invention may be attained in a vapor generation apparatus which includes a tube wall and an elongated first horizontal buckstay disposed at a first elevation. The apparatus also includes coupling means coupling the first horizontal buckstay to the tube wall, an elongated second horizontal buckstay disposed at an elevation that is higher than the first elevation. The apparatus also includes means for coupling the second horizontal buckstay to the tube wall. A first elongated vertical buckstay member has first and second ends and also includes for securing one end of the first elongated vertical buckstay members to one of the horizontal buckstay members. Second means for coupling the other end of the first elongated vertical buckstay member to the other horizontal buckstay, the means for coupling including a sleeve dimensioned and configured for receiving means extending from the other end of the first vertical buckstay member with sliding planar face to planar face engagement therebetween, the means for coupling allowing relative motion between the first vertical buckstay member the other horizontal buckstay member.
Furnace Buckstay Stirrup
US Patent:
5299535, Apr 5, 1994
Filed:
Dec 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/998170
Inventors:
Ronald G. Payne - West Simsbury CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F22B 3724
US Classification:
122510
Abstract:
A vapor generation apparatus which includes a furnace, having a tube wall and at least one vertical buckstay member disposed proximate to the outer face of the spiral tube wall. The apparatus includes a stirrup for transmitting forces between the spiral tube wall and the vertical buckstay member. The stirrup includes a U-shaped plate and a cylindrical member, apparatus for mounting the cylindrical member on the vertical buckstay member including first and second lugs fixed to the vertical buckstay member in spaced relationship. The cylindrical member is fixed between the first and second lugs in spaced relation to the vertical buckstay member. The apparatus also includes apparatus for mounting the U-shaped plate on the tube wall.
Spiral Tube Wall Furnace Seismic/Wind Tube Stop
US Patent:
5282442, Feb 1, 1994
Filed:
Dec 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/997793
Inventors:
Ronald G. Payne - West Simsbury CT
Assignee:
Combustion Engineering, Inc. - Windsor CT
International Classification:
F22B 3724
US Classification:
122510
Abstract:
A tube stop for cooperation with a tube and fin furnace wall and a horizontal buckstay which includes first and second generally parallel generally planar spaced plates, apparatus for attachment of the first and second generally parallel generally planar spaced plates to the associated tube wall. A U-shaped plate has first and second opposed generally planar generally parallel space side walls, the first and second side walls being respectively disposed in spaced relation generally parallel relationship to the first and second generally parallel generally planar spaced plates, apparatus for coupling the first and second walls of the U-shaped member respectively to the first and second generally parallel generally planar spaced plates, and apparatus for rigidly coupling the U-shaped plate to the to the associated horizontal buckstay.
