Title: David N Kilner: Innovator in Heat Processing and Road Marking Technologies
Introduction
David N Kilner is a notable inventor based in Horsham, GB. He has made significant contributions to the fields of heat processing and road marking technologies. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Kilner's work showcases his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
Kilner's latest patents include a method for heat processing particulate material with a quenching gas. This invention relates to a method of heat processing particles of glass. A first current of a mixture of a combustible gas and a gas capable of oxidizing the combustible gas is introduced into a substantially cylindrical chamber from its lower end. The combustible gas is ignited to form a flame in which the gases have a speed of less than 10 m/s. The resulting flame creates a heat processing zone in the chamber. A quenching zone is provided by a second current of gas introduced into the chamber adjacent the chamber side wall such that it swirls around the flame. Particles of glass are then introduced at the lower end of the chamber, and these particles contact the flame in the heat processing zone and are then directed to the quenching zone where they are hardened and from which they are collected.
Another significant patent involves apparatus for applying road marking materials to roadways. A vehicle carries an ejector means which is mounted for reciprocating movement on the vehicle and is operable to eject discrete blobs of a viscous road marking material onto a road surface to be marked. The ejection means is arranged to move relative to the vehicle during ejection of the blobs so that its outlet moves at approximately the same speed as the vehicle and in the opposite direction, the arrangement being such that the speed of the blob relative to the roadway is approximately zero.
