A pilot and burner apparatus is provided for use in firefighting training. The apparatus includes a main fuel conduit and a main fuel valve. The apparatus includes a pilot tube and a pilot fuel conduit configured to deliver fuel from the main fuel conduit to the pilot tube. The apparatus includes main and pilot fuel valves to respectively control a flow of fuel in the main and pilot fuel conduits. In a pilot phase, the valves direct fuel to the pilot tube. An ignition component is configured to ignite fuel in the pilot tube to generate a pilot flame. In a burn phase, the pilot flame generates a controllable flame out of a main burner pipe by igniting fuel exiting the main fuel conduit. The controllable flame can be delivered to a training structure for training purposes.

A gas flare apparatus includes a burner tube that receives combustible gas and includes (a) a burner tube outer perimeter defined by a burner tube outer diameter and (b) a burner tube inner perimeter defined by a burner tube inner diameter. An updraft shield is concentric with the burner tube and extends outwardly relative to the burner tube outer perimeter to an updraft shield outer perimeter. A windshield tube is concentric with the burner tube and has a windshield tube inner diameter that is larger than the burner tube outer diameter. The windshield tube is positioned above the updraft shield. A cover plate spaced apart from and covering an upper opening of the windshield tube.

Systems and methods for a fire device forming at least one stream of flames within a center housing, and directing the at least one stream of flames through one or more apertures formed into an upper surface of the center housing and vertically above the center housing. In some examples, one or more gaseous fuel streams are injected towards the at least one stream of flames and above the center housing via fuel injection ports positioned outside of the center housing.

An air handling unit (AHU) for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system includes a housing and a combustion heater disposed within the housing. The housing includes a combustion section with a first channel and a second channel. The combustion heater includes heat exchanger tubes and a tube support that supports heat exchanger tubes within the combustion section. The tube support slidably disposed in the first channel and the second channel. The combustion heater configured to be slidably removable from the AHU. An AHU for an HVACR system includes a housing with a fan section and a fan assembly disposed within the housing. The fan assembly including a pair of grooves slidably disposed on a pair of rails of the housing. The fan assembly configured to be both slidably removable from the AHU and liftably removable from the AHU.

An apparatus and method for reclaiming uncondensed hydrocarbons normally exhausted to the atmosphere from a still column of a glycol dehydrator system, and combusting the uncondensed hydrocarbons in a burner assembly of a reboiler after the burner assembly has been ignited by fuel gas.

A fire safety protection evaluation system includes at least one horizontal collection device and at least one vertical collection device. The at least one horizontal collection device includes a liquid collection pan with a substantially horizontal opening, a first storage container in communication with the liquid collection pan, and a first measuring device to measure an amount of liquid in the first storage container and/or a rate of liquid entering the first storage container. The at least one vertical collection device includes a substantially vertical liquid collection surface extending between a top edge and a bottom edge, a trough located along the bottom edge to collect liquid from the substantially vertical collection surface, and a second measuring device to measure an amount of liquid and/or a rate of liquid collected by the trough.

Systems and methods for shaping and energizing fluids to generate luminous fluid sculptures are disclosed herein. The disclosed methods comprise one or more steps of sculpting one or more fluids into a pattern or shape using one or more forces selected from the group consisting of mechanically generated turbulence, controlled movement through a shaped chamber, application of a magnetic field, vibration, and gravity to generate one or more sculpted fluids, and one or more steps of energizing the fluids using one or more sources of nonvisible energy selected from the group consisting of chemicals, heat, electrical current, and nonvisible electromagnetic radiation so that the fluids emit visible light. The color of the visible light emitted may be controlled by modulating various color-control factors. The methods comprise at least two non-simultaneous steps, where the non-simultaneous steps may be any combination of sculpting and energizing steps, to generate dynamic luminous fluid sculptures.

An inlet assembly for a burner and a method are disclosed. The inlet assembly comprises: an inlet nozzle defining an inlet aperture coupleable with an inlet conduit providing an effluent gas stream for treatment by the burner, a non-circular outlet aperture, and a nozzle bore extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture for conveying the effluent gas stream from the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture for delivery to the combustion chamber of the burner, the nozzle bore having an inlet portion extending from the inlet aperture and an outlet portion extending to the non-circular outlet aperture. In this way, the non-circular outlet aperture provides a non-circular effluent gas stream flow into the combustion chamber. The non-circular effluent gas flow enables a greater volume of effluent gas stream to be introduced into the combustion chamber whilst still achieving or exceeding the required levels of abatement. This is because a non-circular effluent gas stream provides a reduced distance along which diffusion and reaction needs to occur compared to that of an equivalent circular effluent gas stream. Hence, an increased volume of effluent gas stream can be abated, compared to that of an equivalent circular effluent gas stream.
