10539802 · 2020-01-21 ·

A reflective pilot light viewer is disclosed. The reflective pilot light viewer has an attachment flange securable to a water heater tank by fasteners. The reflective pilot light viewer also has a viewing segment joined to the attachment flange and extending from the access outer panel at an approximate forty-five degree to fifty degree angle, the viewing segment having an upper portion which is a reflective surface. An access outer panel having the reflective pilot light viewer and a water heater having the reflective pilot light viewer are also disclosed.

REDUCED STRESS BOSS GEOMETRY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

A case for a gas turbine engine includes a case wall and a boss that extends from the case wall. The boss includes a perimeter step.

Viewport for high temperature combustion zones

A viewport for a combustion zone includes an inner casing having a flange extending into the combustion zone. A first layer of ceramic fiber insulation is exterior to the inner casing. A middle casing includes two panes of quartz glass separated by traverse plates. A second layer of ceramic fiber insulation is exterior to the middle casing. An outer casing is positioned to the exterior of the second layer of insulation. The middle casing includes L-shaped ledges having third and fourth layers of ceramic insulation. The panes of glass are each positioned between layers of insulation and the insulation positioned in the L-shaped ledges. The viewport is modular enabling the separation of the first layer of insulation, the middle casing, the second layer of insulation and the outer casing from the combustion zone for maintenance or repair. The viewport minimizes heat migration to the outer casing during use.
