The forming apparatus of the present invention preferably includes an orifice on top of the trough. The uniquely shaped orifice substitutes for the weirs as the controlling entity for glass thickness. The orifice is designed such that as it deforms, it maintains a linear flow characteristic with respect to its length. As the orifice is made larger by the applied stress, the percentage width increase is the same over its length and consequently the percentage flow increase is the same over the length of the orifice. In another embodiment, the present invention provides an adjustment to change the flow characteristics of the trough to compensate for the degradation of the forming trough during an extended production run. A flow control plug can be inserted into the trough, such that flow dynamics can be altered during hot operation by insertion, removal or position adjustment of the flow control plug.

A refrigerated merchandiser includes a display case defining a product display region having an open-front isolated from the ambient air of the store by means of a downwardly directed inner air curtain of relatively cold refrigerated air and a downwardly directed outer air curtain of relatively warmer air established via an improved curtain air admission assembly.

This reversal of flow direction serves to distribute the air flow more uniformly along the length of the display case.

An adjustable device installed at the inlet of conventional junctions / splitters (116) for on-line control of the distribution of coal among the outlet pipes is herein disclosed. The device includes a plurality of wake inducing airfoils (60) each positioned upstream of a plurality of flow channels in the riffler (50) for directing coal flow to the outlet pipes. Each wake-inducing airfoil has a cross-section defined by a width W that varies along its length H for creating upstream turbulence, and a particle wake that preferentially diverts the coal flow to one of the outlet pipes at the splitter junction without affecting primary air flow. For example, each wake inducing airfoil may comprise a rounded convex edge leading to straight tapered sides. The surfaces of the sides may be roughened or textured (63) for promoting turbulent boundary layers. In addition, conventional fixed or variable orifices may be used in combination with the wake inducing airfoils for balancing primary air flow rates. The device allows fine-adjustment control of coal flow rates when used in combination with the slotted riffler, yet it has negligible effect on the distribution of primary air, resulting in closely balanced coal flow, reduced pollutant emissions and improved combustion efficiency.

A stepped downcomer apparatus for use in a vapor-liquid contact apparatus having an intermediate level step platform with a preferred tri-edge peripheral edge and corresponding step panels extending down from that edge to form a sealing step panel wall. As a preferred support device, extensions extend in chordal fashion out from the interior vertical edge of the opposite side step wall panels and either directly or indirectly by way of support bars into a supporting relationship with a tower of the vapor-liquid contact apparatus. A main panel extends up from the interior edge of the platform and up to the above positioned tray. A weir may extend above the above positioned tray that is an extension of the main panel. This main panel is attached to the support bars and supports the step platform and walls and extensions either alone or with added support members. A tray support ledge extends inwardly from the downcomer to provide support to the upper tray. The liquid-vapor mix contacts the step platform after passing over the weir, and off from which fluid travels both along the central axis of flow and obliquely off the opposite side panels. At opposite ends of the weir, the liquid flows directly into contact with the inlet region of the lower tray, by-passing the platform. The opposite side panel walls can slope outward to vary the downcomer lower pass through volume. An embodiment features chordal wing extensions with pressure equalization openings that extends out from opposite sides of the step wall panel also into a support relationship with the tower. The lower edge of the panels of the wall and the lower edge of the extensions control the flow of fluid as it travels under the lower edging from the inlet side of the downcomer apparatus to the active area of the tray. The relative level of the lower edges can be varied to suit the intended use. Additional or replacement downcomer structural supports include vertical support members extending from a step panel to a lower tray either in the form of support brackets or tiplet extensions.
