An attachment between a heat exchanger and a cell panel of a furnace includes a cell panel including a plurality of cell panel openings and a heat exchanger having a plurality of cells. Each cell has a cell outlet insertable into a cell panel opening of the plurality of cell panel openings. A compressible gasket is insertable between the cell panel openings and the cell outlets and securable therein when the heat exchanger is secured to the cell panel. A crimping tool for securing a heat exchanger cell outlet to a cell panel of a furnace includes a male portion including a split die having two die halves and a die expander configured to separate the two die halves to engage an inner surface of the cell outlet. A female portion applies a force to the cell outlet to crimp the cell outlet to the cell panel.

A railroad friction-modification system for applying a friction modifier to a section of railroad track, the system comprising an external storage tank for storing the friction modifier, a railroad friction-modification assembly for applying the friction modifier, a tube for connecting the external storage tank to the railroad friction-modification assembly, and a mounting assembly for securing the railroad friction-modification assembly to the rail. The railroad friction-modification assembly includes an expandable membrane for storing the friction modifier, an inlet valve for receiving the friction modifier from the external storage tank, a housing for securely containing the expandable membrane, at least one outlet valve for expelling the friction modifier from the expandable membrane upon the application of a force, and a nozzle for directing the expelled friction modifier onto the section of railroad track. The force is applied by the wheel of a railroad car, such that the railroad friction-modification assembly pumps the friction modifier in a peristaltic action.

A coil support suitable for supporting a coil in a condensing unit includes a body and a protrusion extending from the body. The protrusion is configured to limit movement of the coil in at least one direction.

Coil support

A condensate pan is adapted for use in either a left or right horizontal fan coil installation, and includes left and right mirror image sides interconnected with a central section having on its lower surface a riser near one end, and each of the halves having a drainage opening on the other end, such that when the evaporator coil is placed in the condensate pan, the pan is tipped about the riser to lower one side and raise the other, depending on whether its a left or right horizontal installation, such that drainage occurs from the lower side drainage opening. The drainage opening is so located with respect to the floor of the pan that, when a drain pipe is threadably connected thereto, its lower inner surface is disposed vertically below the pan floor to thereby enhance its drainage characteristics.

Condensate pan with minimal residual condensate

A condensate pan is adapted for use in either a left or right horizontal fan coil installation, and includes left and right mirror image sides interconnected with a central section having on its lower surface a riser near one end, and each of the halves having a drainage opening on the other end, such that when thee evaporator coil is placed in the condensate pan, the pan is tipped about the riser to lower one side and raise the other, depending on whether its a left or right horizontal installation, such that drainage occurs from the lower side drainage opening. The drainage opening is so located with respect to the floor of the pan that, when a drain pipe is threadably connected thereto, its lower inner surface is disposed vertically below the pan floor to thereby enhance its drainage characteristics.

A grease pump for railroad tracks operable by vertical deflections of the rail caused by the weight of the train as the train wheels pass over the track. The pump comprises a housing anchored to the ground and connected to a grease source. Pump operating means comprise a rigid beam connected to the track rail at one end and to a pump operating rod at an opposite end. The operating rod is connected to a cap-like pressure member fitting over the housing and operable by the rail deflection movement to draw grease through inlet port means from the grease source and pump the grease through outlet port means to a track lubricator. Check valves are provided in the pump to control the grease flow.

A collapsible carrier for kegs and the like. The carrier is in the form of a ring-like clamp comrised of semicircular ring members piovted on opposite sides of the clamp and opening to fit around a keg or barrel. Handle bars are provided at opposite sides and when they are lifted the clamp is closed and upwardly directed tooth-like gripping members are caused to engage the keg in firm gripping engagement. The handle, ring members and gripping teeth are formed in a special angular relationship to provide an I-beam type strength to the ring members and self-clamping force through the lifting action on the handles. When not in use the carrier can be collapsed together to half its expanded size as a convenience in storage.
