20140261720 | FLAMELESS FLUID HEATER - Heat from a rotating prime mover(s) driving a fluid shear pump, heat from the prime mover and any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover is collected. The heat energy collected from all of these sources is transmitted through heat exchangers to a fluid where heat energy is desired. This fluid heating process is performed in the absence of an open flame. | 09-18-2014 |
20140263681 | FLAMELESS COMBO HEATER - A dual heating process is performed in the absence of an open flame. Heat is created by a rotating prime mover(s) driving a fluid shear heater. Heat is also collected from a cooling system of the prime mover, and from any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover. The heat energy collected from all of these sources is transmitted through heat exchangers to a fluid where heat energy is desired. The fluid being heated may be glycol or air, depending on the type of heat desired. | 09-18-2014 |
20150086933 | FLAMELESS GLYCOL HEATER - A fluid heating process which does not utilize an open flame, heat is created by a rotating prime mover(s) driving a hydraulic heat generator. Heat is also collected from the prime mover cooling system, and any exhaust heat generated by the prime mover. The heat energy is collected from all these sources, and transmitted through heat exchangers to generate a hot fluid, which can be used to heat other fluids and used for any application where heat is required. | 03-26-2015 |
20150090198 | HEAT EXCHANGER - A heat exchanger which is used primarily in oil and gas operations to heat tanks of liquids, such as drilling mud, water, heavy oil or other such fluids from freezing or becoming too viscous to pump. | 04-02-2015 |

20080203695 | Side mounted ladder rack for pick-up truck having a swinging locking arm - A ladder rack to carry a ladder on a pick-up truck having a front and rear rack mounting openings in a top portion of the side wall of the bed box, comprising: a front and a rear ladder support each having, i) an upright insertion portion sized to be closely received within one of the mounting openings in the pick-up truck; ii) a lateral offset portion carried by, and extending inwardly from a top portion of the upright insertion portion; iii) a mast portion carried by an inner end portion of the lateral offset portion; iv) a lateral ladder carrying portion extending laterally from an upper portion of the mast; v) longitudinal movement prevention means to prevent longitudinal movement of the ladder when it is supported on the lateral carrying portions; and, vi) a swinging arm extending from above to below the ladder to limit lateral ladder movement, when a central portion of the swinging arm is maintained in an upright position adjacent to the ladder. In use after the front and rear brackets are inserted within the rack openings, opposite ends of the ladder may be slid over the lateral ladder carrying portions of the supports thereby supporting the ladder parallel to the side wall of the bed; and finally, the swinging arm may be swung to an engaged position to thereby limit lateral movement of the ladder on the lateral carrying portion. | 08-28-2008 |
