International Classification:
G16L 27/00
US Classification:
285281, 285272, 277580, 277573
Abstract:
A rotary joint comprising a stationary head including a fluid chamber therein, the chamber opening at a bottom surface of the heaf, a rotatable nipple having an outer surface and an internal axial passageway in fluid communication with the fluid chamber; and a seal member disposed on the outer surface of the nipple. The seal member comprises a rigid body including a radial flange portion having opposite first and second surfaces each carrying at least one seal, the seal of the first surface sealingly engaging the bottom surface of the head. The seal member and the nipple are radially moveable in relation to the fixed head while maintaining sealing engagement between the at least one seal of the first surface of the radial flange portion and the bottom surface of the head.

Apparatus For Increasing A Transfer Of Thermal Energy Through An Inner Surface Of A Hollow Cylindrical Dryer Of A Papermaking Machine

US Patent:
7028756, Apr 18, 2006
Filed:
May 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/151407
Inventors:

Assignee:
The Johnson Corporation - Three Rivers MI
International Classification:
F28D 11/02
US Classification:
165 89, 34124, 492 65
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for increasing a transfer of thermal energy through an inner surface of a hollow cylindrical dryer of a papermaking machine to a peripheral outer surface of the dryer. The apparatus includes a plurality of bars of rectangular cross-sectional configuration, each of the bars extending axially within the dryer. The bars are disposed spaced and parallel relative to each other with each of the bars being urged outwardly against the inner surface of the dryer. Also, each of the bars defines an axially extending enclosure.

Apparatus For Increasing A Transfer Of Thermal Energy Through An Inner Surface Of A Hollow Cylindrical Dryer Of A Papermaking Machine

US Patent:
7178582, Feb 20, 2007
Filed:
Dec 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/301356
Inventors:

Kadant Johnson Inc. - Three Rivers MI
International Classification:
F28D 11/02
US Classification:
165 89, 165 90
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for increasing a transfer of thermal energy through an inner surface of a hollow cylindrical dryer of a papermaking machine to a peripheral outer surface of the dryer. The apparatus includes a plurality of bars of rectangular cross-sectional configuration, each of the bars extending axially within the dryer. The bars are disposed spaced and parallel relative to each other with each of the bars being urged outwardly against the inner surface of the dryer. A mechanism is provided for urging each of the bars radially outward against the inner surface of the dryer. The mechanism includes a plurality of hoop rings which are spaced axially within the dryer, each hoop ring being disposed normal to an axis of rotation of the dryer.

Dual-Purpose Drying And Cooling Apparatus

US Patent:
7805857, Oct 5, 2010
Filed:
Dec 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/646769
Inventors:
Alan T. Ives - Marcellus MI, US
Assignee:
Kadant Johnson, Inc. - Three Rivers MI
International Classification:
F26B 7/00
US Classification:
34419, 34124, 34425, 34426
Abstract:
A dual-purpose, cooling/drying apparatus comprising a rotatable cooling/drying cylinder wherein air, steam, and water supplied from sources external of the cooling/drying cylinder are selectively introducible into and removable from a space defined inside the cylinder. The apparatus includes a first flow path through which the water is selectively introducible into the cylinder space, and a second, separate flow path through which either of the air and steam are selectively introducible into the cylinder space. The apparatus is characterized by a cooling mode, in which the water and air are selectively introducible into the cylinder space through the first and second flow paths, respectively, and a drying mode, wherein the steam is selectively introducible into the cylinder space through the second flow path.

Shoe Device Secured To A Syphon For Removing Condensate

US Patent:
8082680, Dec 27, 2011
Filed:
Apr 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/150429
Inventors:
Alan T Ives - Marcellus MI, US
Gregory L. Wedel - Kalamazoo MI, US
Assignee:
Kadant Inc. - Three Rivers MI
International Classification:
D06F 58/00
US Classification:
34124, 34125, 34117, 36 3 R, 162375, 1623581, 285277, 285279, 165 91, 165 90, 277306, 277355
Abstract:
A shoe device secured to a syphon is disclosed for removing condensate from an internal surface of a rotating cylinder. The shoe device includes a shoe portion which is disposed adjacent to the internal surface of the rotating cylinder. The shoe portion defines a passageway having an upstream and a downstream end. The passageway permits a flow there through of the condensate from the internal surface of the rotating cylinder, through the upstream end of the passageway to the downstream end of the passageway. The shoe portion has a first and a second side, a surface extending between the first and second sides of the shoe portion. The surface is disposed adjacent to the internal surface of the cylinder. The shoe portion also has a leading and a trailing end and a face extending between the leading and trailing ends of the shoe portion. A clamp is secured to a distal end of the syphon and is connected to the shoe portion for clamping the shoe portion to the syphon.

Filed:
Sep 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/514691
Inventors:
Matthew H. Beach - Kalamazoo MI, US
Alan T. Ives - Marcellus MI, US
International Classification:
F26B 25/00
US Classification:
34239
Abstract:
