Abstract

The invention relates to crystalline polyethylene pieces having optimum crosslinking for use in storage and recovery of heat, and it further relates to methods for storage and recovery of heat using crystalline polymer pieces having optimum crosslinking for these uses. Crystalline polymer pieces are described which retain at least 70% of the heat of fusion of the uncrosslinked crystalline polymer and yet are sufficiently crosslinked for the pieces not to stick together upon being cycled above and below the melting point of said polymer, preferably at least 80% of the heat of fusion with no substantial sticking together.

Enhanced heat transfer surface for cast-in-bump-covered cooling surfaces and methods of enhancing heat transfer

Patent Chiu, Rong-Shi Paul [Glenmont, NY]; Hasz, Wayne Charles [Pownal, VT]; Johnson, Robert Alan [Simpsonville, SC]; ...

An annular turbine shroud separates a hot gas path from a cooling plenum containing a cooling medium. Bumps are cast in the surface on the cooling side of the shroud. A surface coating overlies the cooling side surface of the shroud, including the bumps, and contains cooling enhancement material. The surface area ratio of the cooling side of the shroud with the bumps and coating is in excess of a surface area ratio of the cooling side surface with bumps without the coating to afford increased heat transfer across the element relative to the heat transfer across the element withoutmore » the coating.« less

Method for curing polymers using variable-frequency microwave heating

Patent Lauf, Robert J [Oak Ridge, TN]; Bible, Don W [Clinton, TN]; Paulauskas, Felix L [Oak Ridge, TN]

A method for curing polymers (11) incorporating a variable frequency microwave furnace system (10) designed to allow modulation of the frequency of the microwaves introduced into a furnace cavity (34). By varying the frequency of the microwave signal, non-uniformities within the cavity (34) are minimized, thereby achieving a more uniform cure throughout the workpiece (36). A directional coupler (24) is provided for detecting the direction of a signal and further directing the signal depending on the detected direction. A first power meter (30) is provided for measuring the power delivered to the microwave furnace (32). A second power meter (26)more »« less

Method and apparatus for heat extraction by controlled spray cooling

Patent Edwards, Christopher Francis [5492 Lenore Ave., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; Meeks, Ellen [304 Daisyfield Dr., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; Kee, Robert [864 Lucille St., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; ...

Two solutions to the problem of cooling a high temperature, high heat flux surface using controlled spray cooling are presented for use on a mandrel. In the first embodiment, spray cooling is used to provide a varying isothermal boundary layer on the side portions of a mandrel by providing that the spray can be moved axially along the mandrel. In the second embodiment, a spray of coolant is directed to the lower temperature surface of the mandrel. By taking advantage of super-Leidenfrost cooling, the temperature of the high temperature surface of the mandrel can be controlled by varying the massmore »« less

Method of energy load management using PCM for heating and cooling of buildings

Patent Stovall, Therese K [Knoxville, TN]; Tomlinson, John J [Knoxville, TN]

A method of energy load management for the heating and cooling of a building. The method involves utilizing a wallboard as a portion of the building, the wallboard containing about 5 to about 30 wt. % a phase change material such that melting of the phase change material occurs during a rise in temperature within the building to remove heat from the air, and a solidification of the phase change material occurs during a lowering of the temperature to dispense heat into the air. At the beginning of either of these cooling or heating cycles, the phase change material ismore »« less
