Blower

Skilled craftsmanship (glass blower) is necessary to produce the glass envelope. 

Near drum wastage is the most prevalent type of wastage documented. It cart be found anywhere in the generating bank but is most common on the wall tubes, in tlic row immediately next to soot blower lanes and in the hot and cold row s. Three types of near drum w astagc have been documented. 

Then remove the strip and dry it in a stream of cold air, either from a blower, or by pinning it to the lower edge of a fume-cupboard window having a vigorous draught already in operation. Then spray the strip lightly but uniformly with the ninhydrin solution (D) in a fume-cupboard, and dry as before.

In professional laboratories fume hoods are big metal boxes resting on counter tops and are connected by ducts to blower motors on the roof of the facility. The blower motor is constantly sucking the air from the hoods to the outside so that chemists will not be exposed to the vapors of chemicals they are working with inside the hood. The same precautions are taken by non-dead underground chemists. 

A fume hood is constructed in the manner shown in figure 6. Strike drew the frame as being made of lumber but it can be made of rebar or, preferably, from PVC pipes and joints so that it can be assembled and disassembled with ease. The frame is enclosed with plastic drop cloths or any semiclear plastic sheeting. The front face of the hood is halfway covered with plastic while the bottom half is exposed to allow one to move objects in or out and to manipulate things. On top of the chamber is attached some clothes dryer duct or some such crap which is led to a leaf blower or blower motor. The exhaust from the blower is led away to the outside. 

Although a leaf blower is probably way too strong it may still be adequate at its lowest setting. To insure that a correct airflow is being pulled the chemist holds a lit cigarette about a foot in front of the hood s opening and looks to see If the smoke trail is being pulled into the hood. If so, then the hood works just fine.

Jet Aerators. Jet aerators are a cross between the diffused and mechanical aerators. Air and water are pumped separately under the water surface into a mixing chamber and ejected as a jet at the bottom of the tank or pond (Fig. 3f). Jet aerators are suited for deep tanks and have only moderate cost. Disadvantages include high operational costs, limitations caused by tank geometries, and nozzles that can clog. Additionally, they require blowers.

Compressors and blowers for gaseous fluorine service vary in design from multistage centrifugal compressors to diaphragm and piston types. 

A typical large three-phase ferroalloy furnace using prebaked carbon electrodes is shown in Eigure 4. The hearth and lower walls where molten materials come in contact with refractories are usually composed of carbon blocks backed by safety courses of brick. In the upper section, where the refractories are not exposed to the higher temperatures, superduty or regular firebrick may be used. The walls of the shell also may be water-cooled for extended life. Usually, the furnace shell is elevated and supported on beams or on concrete piers to allow ventilation of the bottom. When normal ventilation is insufficient, blowers are added to remove the heat more rapidly. The shell also may rest on a turntable so that it can be oscillated slightly more than 120° at a speed equivalent to 0.25—1 revolution per day in order to equalize refractory erosion or bottom buildup. 

One design for a low temperature convection furnace shown in Figure 4 utilizes an external circulating fan, heating chamber, and duct system. The fan draws air (or a protective atmosphere) from the furnace and passes through the external heating chamber and back into the furnace past the work. This system minimizes the chance that the work receives any direct heat radiation. In theory it is less efficient because the external blower, heating chamber, and ductwork add external surfaces that are subject to heat losses. 

Convective heat transfer is classified as forced convection and natural (or free) convection. The former results from the forced flow of fluid caused by an external means such as a pump, fan, blower, agitator, mixer, etc. In the natural convection, flow is caused by density difference resulting from a temperature gradient within the fluid. An example of the principle of natural convection is illustrated by a heated vertical plate in quiescent air. 

Mu/tihearth Furnace. Multihearth furnaces are most often used for incineration of municipal and industrial sludges, and for generation and reactivation of char. The main components of the multihearth are a refractory-lined shell, a central rotating shaft, a series of soHd flat hearths, a series of rabble arms having teeth for each hearth, an afterburner (possibly above the top hearth), an exhaust blower, fuel burners, an ash removal system, and a feed system. 

The basic fluid-bed unit consists of a refractory-lined vessel, a perforated plate that supports a bed of granular material and distributes air, a section above the fluid bed referred to as freeboard, an air blower to move air through the unit, a cyclone to remove all but the smallest particulates and return them to the fluid bed, an air preheater for thermal economy, an auxiUary heater for start-up, and a system to move and distribute the feed in the bed. Air is distributed across the cross section of the bed by a distributor to fluidize the granular soflds. Over a proper range of airflow velocities, usually 0.8-3.0 m/s, the sohds become suspended in the air and move freely through the bed.
