METHOD OF DROSS EXTRACTION USING HEATED NITROGEN AND ACCUMULATED PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT NOZZLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026510 titled 'METHOD OF DROSS EXTRACTION USING HEATED NITROGEN AND ACCUMULATED PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT NOZZLES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for pumping molten metal, which consists of a transport conduit and a gas conduit. The transport conduit has an inlet portion with an inlet port and an exit portion with an exit port and diameter. The molten metal is transported from the inlet port to the exit port. The gas conduit includes a gas delivery conduit that is in communication with the exit portion and has a gas delivery diameter. The ratio of the gas delivery diameter to the exit diameter is 0.5 or more.

  • The apparatus is designed for pumping molten metal.
  • It includes a transport conduit and a gas conduit.
  • The transport conduit has an inlet portion with an inlet port and an exit portion with an exit port and diameter.
  • The molten metal is transported from the inlet port to the exit port.
  • The gas conduit includes a gas delivery conduit that is in communication with the exit portion.
  • The gas delivery conduit has a gas delivery diameter.
  • The ratio of the gas delivery diameter to the exit diameter is 0.5 or more.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Metal casting industry
  • Foundries
  • Steel production
  • Aluminum production

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient pumping of molten metal
  • Improved control of gas delivery
  • Reduction of clogging or blockages in the conduit

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased productivity in metal production processes
  • Enhanced efficiency in molten metal transportation
  • Improved quality control in metal casting
  • Reduced downtime due to clogging or blockages


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for pumping molten metal includes a transport conduit and a gas conduit. the transport conduit includes an inlet portion and an exit portion. the inlet portion defines an inlet port. the exit portion defines an exit diameter and an exit port. the inlet port is in communication with the exit portion to communicate molten metal from the inlet port to the exit port. the gas conduit defines a gas delivery conduit. the gas delivery conduit is in communication with the exit portion and defines a gas delivery diameter. a ratio of the gas delivery diameter to the exit diameter is 0.5 or more.
