134107000 | Heat-exchange means external to work-treating chamber, vat or zone | 11 |
20080210270 | REMOVING UNWANTED FILM FROM WAFER EDGE REGION WITH REACTIVE GAS JET - Unwanted films can be eliminated by directing a stream of reactive gas(es) at reactive zone in an edge region of the wafer. The action of the reactive gas can be enhanced by heating the gas in a nozzle, immediately prior to the gas impinging on the wafer. The action of the reactive gas can also be enhanced by ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) radiation directed at the reactive zone. The wafer is rotates so that the reactive zone traverses the entire edge region. Multiple gas/light delivery systems can cause gas and light to impinge on multiple reactive zones, both on the front side and on the back side of the wafer. | 09-04-2008 |
20080230098 | Cooling/Heating System for Co2 Cleaning Machine - The invention relates to a system for cleaning articles with liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide consisting of a cleaning chamber, a storage tank, a still with a vaporizer and a tube connecting said still with said storage tank, wherein said tube comprises a condenser. Heat is transferred between vaporizer and condenser by means of an external refrigeration cycle. | 09-25-2008 |
20090007941 | Steam dish washing machine with effective positioning and orientation of items to be washed - Dish washing machine that includes a steam generator, which supplies steam during a washing operation, to aid in the washing of dishes and other items in the dish washing machine. The dish washing machine further including one or more dish washing racks that effectively orient the dishes, and other items to be washed, in such a way so as to avoid inhibiting the steam from being evenly distributed around each of the dishes and other items to be washed. The dish washing machine also including a steam zone indicator to aid in effectively positioning the dishes and other items to be washed by visually distinguishing the region or zone within the dish washing machine that corresponds with high-intensity steam. | 01-08-2009 |
20090007942 | Assembly for fixing a steam nozzle in dishwashing machine - In a steam dishwashing machine a steam nozzle that sprays steam, supplied by a steam generator, into the dish washing space or compartment. The steam nozzle is fixed to the tub so that the dish washing space itself is not limited, nor are the shape and size of the dishwashing machine racks. Moreover, the steam nozzle is fixed such that any warping or deformation of the steam nozzle, due to prolonged exposure to high-temperature wash water or high-temperature steam, is prevented. | 01-08-2009 |
20090038654 | Condensing Apparatus of Dish Washer - A condensing apparatus of a dish washer is provided. The condensing apparatus includes a blower and an air duct. The blower suctions vapor from inside a tub of the dish washer. The air duct is connected to the blower, and has a vapor passage formed therein through which the vapor flows and in which condensed water is formed. The vapor passage has a ridge formed thereon to stop the condensed water. | 02-12-2009 |
20090050183 | INTEGRATED WASH UNIT FOR A TURBINE ENGINE - An integrated wash unit includes a framework. In one example, the framework includes a skid supporting an internal frame. A wash unit that includes a pump is supported on the framework for pumping a fluid, such as water. A water treatment assembly is supported on the framework and is fluidly connected to the pump. A water storage tank and water heater are arranged between the water treatment assembly and pump. The water treatment assembly supplies clean water that was been recycled from the collected, unclean water from the turbine engine. The water treatment assembly is fixed relative to the wash unit for transport together with the wash unit as an integrated assembly. An enclosure that includes access panels is supported on the framework about the wash unit and water treatment assembly. The framework supports a power plant that drives the pump through a generator and motor or through a transmission device, as well as a generator and an air compressor. | 02-26-2009 |
20090139550 | STEAM GENERATOR - A steam generator is disclosed. The steam generator includes a housing for containing water and a heater installed such that at least one portion of the heater is buried in a bottom of the housing to indirectly heat the water in the housing. | 06-04-2009 |
20110155185 | STEAM DISH WASHING MACHINE WITH EFFECTIVE POSITIONING AND ORIENTATION OF ITEMS TO BE WASHED - Dish washing machine that includes a steam generator, which supplies steam during a washing operation, to aid in the washing of dishes and other items in the dish washing machine. The dish washing machine further including one or more dish washing racks that effectively orient the dishes, and other items to be washed, in such a way so as to avoid inhibiting the steam from being evenly distributed around each of the dishes and other items to be washed. The dish washing machine also including a steam zone indicator to aid in effectively positioning the dishes and other items to be washed by visually distinguishing the region or zone within the dish washing machine that corresponds with high-intensity steam. | 06-30-2011 |
20110186090 | Odor Mitigation in a Recycler Assembly - A distillation assembly that reduces malodors resulting from a process of recycling a solvent from a contaminated solvent solution that includes a distillation chamber defined by a top wall, a side wall and a bottom wall, a heating element disposed in the distillation chamber including an active portion and an inactive portion. The contaminated solvent solution disposed at a level within the distillation chamber such that the active portion always disposed below the level. | 08-04-2011 |
20120055519 | Household appliance having drying duct - A drying duct and a household appliance having the same. The household appliance includes a main body, a drying space placed in the main body and including an air suction hole and an air drain hole, a drying duct including at least one inside-air suction hole communicating with the air drain hole, an inside-air discharge hole communicating with the air suction hole, and an outside-air suction hole and an outside-air discharge hole communicating with the outside of the drying space, and at least one dehumidifying agent placed in the drying duct. The drying duct includes an inside-air suction path into which air inside of the drying space is suctioned, an outside-air suction path into which air outside of the drying space is suctioned, and an inside/outside air movement path communicating with the inside-air suction path and the outside-air suction path. | 03-08-2012 |
20140069470 | DISHWASHER WITH SPRAYER - A dishwasher for treating dishes according to at least one automatic cycle of operation and including a tub having a bottom wall for at least partially defining a treating chamber in which dishes may be received for treatment, at least one sprayer provided on the bottom wall, and having at least one opening through which liquid is emitted into the treating chamber, and a recirculation circuit fluidly coupling the treating chamber to the at least one sprayer such that liquid emitted into the treating chamber may be directed back to the sprayer for recirculation. | 03-13-2014 |
