The Smoke Chamber Sealing Device is a non-solely-cement method and system of sealing Smoke Chambers. Material such as metal, plastic, glass, composite, and/or any other material suitable for smoke chambers can be formed into the layers that seal smoke from going to where it is not supposed to go. One of many designs can involve installing metal walls on the inner walls of a smoke chamber, these metal walls would last much longer than cement and would be easier to work with considering the difficulties of parging a smoke chamber.

Method and a deep frying device for deep frying a food product in a deep frying device, wherein the deep frying device comprises a container for fat. For reducing the chances of damaging the deep frying device by the deep frying and increasing the availability, use is made of a deep frying device comprising a pipe section for hot flue gas which protrudes into the lumen of the container but is not connected to an opposite wall. The pipe section comprises—a plurality of supply pipes for the relatively hot flue gas, and—at least one outlet pipe for the relatively cold flue gas coming from the plurality of supply pipes.

A combustion chamber comprises an upstream ring structure, a downstream ring structure and a plurality of circumferentially arranged combustion chamber segments. Each combustion chamber segment extends the full length of the combustion chamber. Each combustion chamber segment comprises a frame structure and at least an inner wall and the frame structure and the inner wall are integral. An upstream end of each combustion chamber segment is secured to the upstream ring structure and a downstream end of each combustion chamber segment is mounted on the downstream ring structure. The combustion chamber segments are manufactured by additive layer manufacture. The combustion chamber segments have a stiff frame structure which carries the structural loads, the thermal loads, surge loads and flameout loads and the frame structure distributes loads into adjacent components.

Refractory tile systems for covering an internal wall of a high temperature furnace or boiler are described. The systems may comprise a base tile having a front face and a back face, and a shielding tile having a front face and a back face. The back face of the base tile may comprise one or more attachment points for mounting the base tile to the internal wall using an anchoring system, wherein the shielding tile is equipped with a protrusion along a first side, extending from the back face of the shielding tile and adapted to stably arrange the shielding tile in a suspended position from the base tile when mounted to the internal wall, and an overhang along a second side opposite the first side and extending from the front side of the shielding tile, such that in a mounted position, the overhang partially covers an adjacent shielding tile.

A combustion chamber of a gas turbine with a combustion chamber wall to which effusion tiles are fastened which adjoin one another while forming a rim gap, with a seal being arranged in the area of said rim gap, characterized in that the effusion tiles at their rim facing the combustion chamber wall are provided with a bevel in order to form a sealing space, that a seal having a V-shaped cross-section is placed inside the sealing space and that the combustion chamber wall is provided with at least one recess to supply cooling air through the combustion chamber wall to that side of the seal facing the combustion chamber wall.

Refractory tile systems for covering an internal wall of a high temperature furnace or boiler are described. The systems may comprise a base tile having a front face and a back face, and a shielding tile having a front face and a back face. The back face of the base tile may comprise one or more attachment points for mounting the base tile to the internal wall using an anchoring system, wherein the shielding tile is equipped with a protrusion along a first side, extending from the back face of the shielding tile and adapted to stably arrange the shielding tile in a suspended position from the base tile when mounted to the internal wall, and an overhang along a second side opposite the first side and extending from the front side of the shielding tile, such that in a mounted position, the overhang partially covers an adjacent shielding tile.

A seal for sealing a combustor heat shield against an interior surface of a combustor shell, the seal comprising: an upstream rail and an downstream rail defining an intermediate groove therebetween, each rail having a sealing surface with a plurality of slots extending between an upstream wall surface and a downstream wall surface, the sealing surface conforming to the interior surface of the combustor shell and defining a leakage gap therebetween.

An improved seal assembly for use with a combustion liner assembly is employed with a gas turbine engine so as to control fluid flow. The seal assembly has a bi-metal sealing member that is affixed to a first surface that is proximal to a second perpendicular surface that is not in contact with the first surface, thus providing a potential fluid flow path. Upon heating, the bi-metal sealing member uncoils contacting the second perpendicular surface, thus blocking the flowpath between the two surfaces. Various metals may be provided to provide predetermined sealing characteristics.
