| 20120104670 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FRAME AND BRICK CONSTRUCTIONS - A frame/brick and/or a stave/brick construction, having a frame having a plurality of ribs and a plurality of channels, wherein a front face of the frame defines a first opening into each of the channels, and a plurality of bricks wherein each brick is insertable into one of the plurality of channels via its first opening to a position, upon rotation of the brick, partially disposed in the one channel such that one or more portions of the brick at least partially engage one or more surfaces of the one channel and/or of a first rib of the plurality of ribs whereby the brick is locked against removal from the one channel through its first opening via linear movement without first being rotated. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110017437 | FURNACE PANEL LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM - A furnace panel leak monitoring and control system for fluid-cooled panels in high temperature industrial furnaces such as, for example, smelting furnaces, blast furnaces and electric arc furnaces. The system performs at least two and up four functions simultaneously. At minimum, the system includes one or more temperature sensors received within the body of the panel to monitor temperature within the metal of the panel itself, and pressure sensors installed proximate the inlet and outlet of each panel coolant fluid circuit, which circuits are preferably periodically automatically tested, to check for leaks in the coolant circuits. In addition, the system preferably includes temperature and flow sensors for monitoring the furnace panel coolant circuit(s) for temperature and flow fluctuations, respectively, which may be indicative of leaking cooling circuits. The system triggers visual and/or audible alarm means to alert a human operator of an apparent coolant fluid leak situation. | 01-27-2011 |
