A device and a method for applying a liquid fire retardant onto hemp fibers and into hemp insulation batting using a multiple needle construction, which can act as an insulation substitute to be used in building structures that does not irritate the skin or contain harmful, toxic elements and is a quicker and a more efficient method with a reduction in drying time.

A hose is provided capable of meeting fireproof requirements per AS1055 under no flow condition. The hose has multiple layers including a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) flexible ceramic substrate layer disposed between first and second silicone rubber layers.

The present invention discloses an electric heating thermal management system for an oil and gas transportation pipeline based on renewable energy and CO.sub.2 energy storage. It transmits the feedback data value through a data collection device arranged in the pipeline to the early warning device by the control device. After analysis and processing, the early warning device can feed back the data value to the control device and the remote operation device in two modes. Different degrees of heating amount can be generated for the oil and gas transportation pipelines at different positions in different modes. Hierarchical and distributed management control for the oil and gas transportation pipelines can be targetedly conducted in unblocked, easily blocked and blocked positions of the oil and gas transportation pipeline. The present invention couples the renewable energy electricity supply device and the CO.sub.2 energy storage device.

A thermal protection systems of a deployable aerodynamic decelerators includes a high temperature flexible insulation that utilizes a Flexible Gas Barrier (FGB) configured on an outside layer of a Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator-Thermal Protective System (HIAD F-TPS). The high temperature flexible insulation includes high temperature fibers and frits that melt upon exposure to elevated temperatures to prevent advection through the thickness of the high temperature flexible insulation. A coating may also be configured on an outside surface of the high temperature flexible insulation to also prevent advection. The frits may be configured through the thickness with different melting temperatures.

An apparatus for manufacturing an aerogel sheet including: a supply roller around which a blanket is wound to form a roll; a conveyor belt transferring the blanket wound around the supply roller from one side to the other side thereof; a silica sol supply member injecting the silica sol to a surface of the blanket disposed on the conveyor belt to impregnate the blanket with silica sol; a catalyst supply member injecting a gelling catalyst to the surface of the blanket impregnated with silica sol to gelate the silica sol; a collection roller winding the blanket, which is transferred up to the other side by the conveyor belt, in the form of a roll; and a reaction vessel which accommodates the roll-shaped blanket collected by the collection roller and in which the accommodated blanket is aged, modified by injecting a coating solution, or dried at a high temperature.

A thermal insulation device includes a first plate, a second plate formed to nest adjacent the first plate with a gap between the first and second plates, a porous material disposed between the plates, and a sealing layer disposed between the first and second plates such that the porous material is sealed from ambient at a pressure less than ambient. Multiple such sets of plates may be used to form an enclosure for a device that thermally insulates the device from ambient.

A breathable, multi-layer exhaust insulation system is provided. The system includes a multi-layer sleeve, wherein the first layer, which is positioned adjacent the exhaust system pipes, is a braided sleeve which may be constructed from high-temperature resistant materials such as e-glass, s-glass, silica or ceramic. Additional braided layers of material may be included, as well. An outside cover of material is preferably a circular knitted fabric that contains glass fibers and resin-based fibers. The knitted fabric forms a tube on the outside of the insulating layers, and may be formed from a core spun yarn, which includes a glass filament core and a high-melt fiber on the wrap. Optionally, the system may also include a perforated or unperforated metal foil layer and/or a tape wrap, and the various components may be configured as desired.
