CLOTHING TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
The present invention provides a clothing treatment apparatus (10) comprising: a heating unit (100) for heating a fluid; a movable spray unit (200) which is installed to be movable in left and right direction, and sprays the heated fluid; a flow path member (300) which is connected to the heating unit (100) and the movable spray unit (200) and supplies the heated fluid to the movable spray unit (200); and a driving unit (400) for moving the movable spray unit (200) in the left and right direction. The present invention also provides the clothing treatment apparatus (10) including the flow path member (300) bent at an angle of a specific range per unit member (310) or unfolded. The present invention also provides the clothing treatment apparatus (10) including a body portion spreading unit (1500) for spreading a body portion of clothing. The body portion spreading unit (1500) comprises: a body portion spreading arm (1510) of which at least a portion is arranged inside the body portion and which rotationally moves about an end portion as a rotary shaft; and a first driving unit (1520) for rotationally moving the body portion spreading arm (1510). Therefore, clothing treatment performance such as crease removal or the like can be improved, and the time taken to treat clothing can be reduced. The spray pressure of the movable spray unit (200) can be maintained constant, an installation space for the flow path member (300) can be minimized, and generation of condensed water in the flow path member (300) can be prevented.
LOCALIZED PRODUCT INJECTION SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SAME
A localized product injection system includes a composite boom tube having a carrier fluid passage within a tube body, and at least one injection product passage within the tube body isolated from the carrier fluid passage. A plurality of port stations are provided at locations along the tube body. Each of the port stations includes a carrier fluid outlet port and at least one injection product outlet port. A localized injection interface is coupled at a port station. The injection interface includes a carrier fluid input coupled with the carrier fluid outlet port, and at least one injection product input coupled with the at least one injection product outlet port. The injection interface includes at least one throttling element in communication with the at least one injection product input, a mixing chamber, and an injection port configured for localized coupling and injection to a product dispenser.

DELUGE SYSTEM
A method of providing a deluge system (10) on a boom (12) such as a boom that is used to conduct well flaring operations at an end thereof. The deluge system comprises a base unit (30), a stanchion (20), and a nozzle apparatus (22); the method comprising attaching the deluge system to a burner boom with a walkway, such that there remains a width of at least 30 cm clear passage on the boom's walkway after the deluge system has been attached. This provides an escape and/or rescue route for personnel should a dangerous situation occur, such as uncontrolled fire or personnel falling overboard. In preferred embodiments, the deluge system is attached to the boom outboard of handrail supports (which includes on a single handrail). The deluge system may have its own mechanism e.g. a winch, for moving the stanchion from a stowed position to an operative position which allows a safe and more optimum positioning of the stanchion away from the well flaring operation, as herein described. In a preferred embodiment, the stanchion is provided as part of a moveable member which is rotationally attached to a connection mechanism of the base unit at a connection point spaced away from an end of the moveable member. This allows the moveable member to have a counter weight system and reduces the amount of force required to move the moveable member, avoiding mechanical constraints.
LIQUID SPRAY APPARATUS
A manifold arrangement for a car wash liquid spray apparatus. The manifold arrangement has a water intake manifold and a plurality of nozzle manifolds in fluid communication with and extending from the water intake manifold having a plurality of liquid-expelling nozzles at varying distances away from the water intake manifold. A car wash liquid spray apparatus further has a bracket for mounting the apparatus to a car wash, the bracket having a pair of opposed supports, and the water intake manifold is rotatably coupled to the pair of opposed supports.
Controllable high-pressure aeroponics system
An aeroponics system includes a spray manifold with a fluid inlet, a plurality of fluid injectors attached to the spray manifold and in fluid communication therewith, and a fluid pump in communication with the fluid inlet of the spray manifold. A timing controller is in electronic communication with the plurality of fluid injectors. A power source is in electronic communication with the fluid pump, the plurality of fluid injectors, and the timing controller. The fluid pump is configured to maintain a constant high pressure within the spray manifold. The timing controller is configured to control the timing and pattern of energization of the plurality of fluid injectors. When any one of the plurality of fluid injectors is energized, fluid is allowed to pass from the spray manifold through that fluid injector.
Low drift, high efficiency spraying system
A spray tip including a spray tip body and flow control element is provided. The flow control element includes a pre-orifice through which fluid can enter a primary fluid passage of the spray tip body. First and second discharge orifices are provided in a dome-shaped end wall of the spray tip body with each of the first and second discharge orifices being arranged on a respective one of opposing first and second sides of an apex of the dome-shaped end wall. Each of the first and second discharge orifices having an elongated slot-like configuration that maintains a substantially constant width as the respective discharge orifice extends from a first end to a second end and each and each extending a substantially equal distance to either side of the apex of the dome-shaped end wall.
IMPROVED VALVE ECONTROLED SPRAYING SYSTEM
A liquid spraying system having a liquid spray section and a controller for controlling liquid to the spray section. The controller includes a valve operable between multiple positions for controlling the supply of liquid to the spray section and enabling the flow of liquid from the spray section to a flow back line only after the liquid supply to the spray section has been terminated.
