Provided is a centrifuge media separator for separating blast particulate from fine particulate carried by air flowing from a blast cabinet and through the media separator. The centrifuge media separator comprises an upper panel, a lower panel, and an outer wall. The upper panel has a central opening formed therein. The outer wall is configured in a truncated logarithmic shape and which extends between the upper and lower panels. The outer wall has at least one particulate escape aperture formed therein. The upper panel, lower panel and outer wall collectively define a curvilinear air passageway having an inlet and an outlet. An air foil extends from the outer wall in to the air passageway. The distance than the air foil extends in to the air passageway is adjustable. The inlet is configured to allow a flow of air to enter the air passageway and circulate therethrough toward the outlet. The escape aperture is configured to exhaust the blast particulate out of the passageway. The central opening is configured to exhaust the fine particulate out of the passageway.

Disclosed is a gas fuel supply system including a main fuel inlet, a pressure regulating valve, a pneumatically controlled shutoff bleeder valve and a main fuel outlet that are connected through pipes. The pneumatically controlled shutoff bleeder valve includes a pneumatic control valve and a shutoff bleeder valve. The shutoff bleeder valve is configured to open or close a gas fuel delivery passage from the main fuel inlet to the main fuel outlet, or configured to discharge the gas fuel in the pipe. The pneumatic control valve is configured to control the shutoff bleeder valve to be in a desired state. The gas fuel supply system does not need connection to an additional gas source, and the gas supply stability is improved.

A heat exchanger including a pipe bundle to guide a fluid between first and second pipe connectors, the pipes being distributed in layers of pipes, wherein pipes of each of the layers of pipes each includes two bends, wherein a length of a flow path section is at least 1.7 times greater than lengths of two other flow path sections. A first bend of the two bends is provided between the longer flow path section and a first of the shorter flow path section, and wherein a second of the two bends is provided between the first, shorter flow path section and the other shorter flow path section, and wherein each of the layers of pipes includes two pipe subgroups. The second bend in one of the pipe subgroups in the pipe layer is opposite to the second bend-in the other pipe subgroup of the same pipe layer.

A flow separator includes a flow swirling arrangement and a particle collection space disposed in-line with an inlet and an outlet of a flow separator. The flow swirling arrangement includes a bladed arrangement disposed around a flow diverter. The particle collection space is an annular space disposed at an opposite end of a swirl region from the flow swirling arrangement. The annular space is disposed at the radially outward-most portion of the flow passage to collect particles via centrifugal force. A gas conduit may extend from the flow diverter through the particle collection space to separate out gas from the liquid of the input flow.
