An apparatus for ventilation systems which include an element for the transfer of heat from warm exhaust air (taken from inside a building) to cooler exterior fresh air which is drawn into the building. During a defrost cycle, interior air may circulate through both of the fresh air and exhaust air paths for delivery back into the building, i.e. the warm interior air, used as defrost air, may be able to circulate from the interior of the building into the ventilation apparatus and back to the interior of the building. The apparatus can thus use interior air as defrost air while diminishing or avoiding the creation of a negative air pressure in the building.

The present invention relates to a novel method of making a non-liquid fruit product (fruit chip) which has a natural fruit flavor and which can be formed in desired individual or discrete configurations and sizes. A method of making a dry particulate natural fruit chip product comprising: (a) adding a fruit ingredient and water to a heated kettle; (b) adding buffer, sugar and pectin to the fruit ingredient and water; (c) boiling the buffer, sugar and pectin fruit ingredient and water mixture to hydrate the pectin; (d) adding liquid sugar to the mixture and continuing to boil the mixture until excess water is boiled away; (e) adding sugar to the mixture in the kettle to reduce the temperature of the mixture and increase solids concentration; (i) transporting the mixture from the kettle through a heat exchanger to raise the temperature of the mixture; (g) adding acid and flavoring mix to the mixture and mixing the acid/flavour into the mixture; (h) passing the mixture into a heated depositor and dispensing the mixture onto a surface in the form of discrete fruit chips; (i) retaining the fruit chips on the surface until they lose heat and form a stable gel; (j) transporting the gelled fruit chips through a zone to remove excess moisture and enhance gel strength of the fruit chips; and (k) transporting the fruit chips through a cooling zone so that the fruit chips lose further heat and reach ambient temperature.

A method and apparatus that combines the coating spray booth with process heating and radiation to increase the efficiency of the processing of powder coatings on wood, wood-based composite materials and plastic substrates. The temperature of the parts in process can be maintained within the booth after preheating or elevated in temperature within the booth before, during, and after the application of the coating material. The invention allows for the control of the rate of thermal expansion of heat sensitive materials, thereby reducing substrate damage from cracking. Increased efficiencies permit a significant reduction of processing energy expense. Multiple coatings can be applied and cured to parts in process within the invention while experiencing an overall reduction in the length of the processing system compared to the prior art.

An easy to assemble portable floating hot tub for use in even cold and turbulent water includes an inflatable pontoon, an insulated liner peripherally connected to the pontoon and defining hot tub fill volume, and flexible members extending from the pontoon under the liner such that the weight of the liner filled with water is supported partly by the flexible members. A floor made of rigid spaced apart and parallel slats can be rolled up with the flexible liner and deflated pontoon. A collapsible frame made of connected rigid members may be provided in or outside of the liner. The pontoon is placed on the body of water and inflated. Filling the internal volume defined by the insulated liner with water causes it to descend below the pontoon. A portable heater having a heating capacity of at least 30,000 BTUs rapidly heats up the water within the hot tub. The system components can be transported in carry bags of less than 100 pounds and deployed by one person in an extremely small space, such as on a boat.

The present invention may also communicate with traditional environmentally economic sources of power such as windmills and hydroelectric dams. Further, a method employing the same principals is disclosed.

A portable floating hot tub that is easy to assemble and take down and can be used in environments with extremely cold and turbulent water. The hot tub has three main components: a collapsible frame made of connected rigid members, an insulated liner sized and shaped to closely fit against the deployed frame and form a subassembly, and an inflatable pontoon that may have a central aperture for receiving the subassembly. The pontoon is first inflated and placed on the body of water, after which the frame and liner subassembly are placed over the central aperture. Filling the internal volume defined by the insulated liner with water causes the subassembly to descend within the pontoon. Cooperating means on the subassembly and/or pontoon prevent the subassembly from passing completely through the central aperture. A source of heated water such as a portable heater having a heating capacity of at least 30,000 BTUs rapidly heats up the water within the hot tub. The system components can be transported in one or more carry bags of less than 100 pounds and deployed and taken down by one person in an extremely small space, such as on a boat.

A system for providing a set point increase for a vehicle combustion engine includes a control that is operable to control vehicle secondary systems to control the power consumption of the vehicle secondary systems to increase a mechanical load to the vehicle combustion engine. The load increase of the combustion engine may be for increasing the lost heat, which enhances the filtering of exhaust gases of the vehicle combustion engine. The lost heat may be utilized to increase the heat of a carbon particle filter, through which exhaust gases flow.

A thermal engine includes an expansion fluid pump which propels water from an expansion fluid tank into an electrolytic cell having an anode and a cathode, which generates a quantity of oxyhydrogen from the water; and propels the oxyhydrogen into one of an engine cylinder and an exhaust chamber, whereupon oxyhydrogen propelled into the cylinder expands abruptly into steam in the intake chamber to increase pressure within the cylinder and thereby enhance thermal engine power, and oxyhydrogen propelled into the heat exchanger cools the water vapor back into liquid water, which generates a vacuum within the exhaust chamber to increase the power of the thermal engine.

A shear retort mill for slow ablative pyrolysis features friction heating between shearing surfaces on a rotating disk and a static or rotating cylindrical drum enclosing the disk. A feed enters the workspace between the rotating disk and the bottom of the drum through a hollow feed shaft coupled to the rotating disk. Preferably, an auger compacts and moves the feed downward, and a shredder reduces the feed's particle size. The feed is increasingly ground and pyrolyzed as it is forced between the drum and disk shearing surface. As the dense processed material extrudes at the edge of the workspace, the gases and liquid products are forced inward by the barrier of dense solids. A static exhaust pipe at the center of the rotating feed shaft allows for the exit of these gases, which preferably go to a heat exchanger to recover any condensable fractions.
