A device for ventilating fluid radiators (5) and/or starting and braking rheostats (15) in a locomotive which is powered electrically, by means of an internal combustion engine, or by a combination thereof, said radiators and/or rheostats being disposed in a layer close to the locomotive roof (4). The device includes at least one tangential fan (8,9) having a horizontal axis which extends longitudinally relative to the locomotive and blowing air towards said radiators and/or said rheostats. The ...

An antenna consisting of a single small and lightweight package, where each radiating element operates independently with reduced interference among the radiating elements. An integrated multi-element planar antenna includes a ground pattern 2 with a notch 2b formed at an end 2a, first radiating element 3 placed on one side of the notch 2b and equipped with a feeder 5, and second radiating element 4 placed on the other side of the notch 2b and equipped with a feeder 5. For example, inverted F an...

A device and the use of, are disclosed for pressure testing the integrity of coolant systems of the internal combustion engine, and more particularly to a compressed air operated pressure tester for performing diagnostic services on water cooled engines and their related components which include the radiator, the coolant flow passages within the engine itself, the pressure type radiator filler cap with available adapters, and the connecting hoses. The device includes a connecting means and restr...

An antifreeze composition for use in aluminum internal combustion engines is disclosed. It is comprised of from 0.05 percent to 0.5 percent silicate, from 0.07 percent to 0.35 percent nitrate, from 0.2 percent to 2.0 percent phosphate, from 0.5 percent to 4.0 percent benzoate, from 0.1 percent to 1.0 percent molybdate, from 0.02 percent to 0.3 percent vanadate, from 0.05 percent to 0.3 percent triazole, and from 100 ppm to 5000 ppm organosilane stabilizer for the silicate. Organic amines and bor...

A method and apparatus for cleaning articles such as radiators, pizza pans, carburetors, engine parts. A suitable cleaning fluid is placed in a container, and the article to be cleaned is placed in this cleaning fluid. A vibrator is attached to the container such that the vibrations are transferred to the cleaning fluid to clean the articles. The induced waves in the cleaning fluid is a powerful scrubbing force.

A phased array antenna (10A, 10B, 10C) is constructed of an array of radiators (24), each of which has a radiating aperture, a first port (26) and a second port (26). The first port introduces a first radiation with a first polarization, and the second port introduces a second radiation with a second polarization which is orthogonal to the first polarization. Individual transmitting amplifiers, in the case of a transmitting array, or individual receiving amplifiers (16A), in the case of a receiv...

An antenna suitable for the generation of a circularly polarized annular radiation pattern comprising a substrate spaced apart from a ground plane by a layer of dielectric material, the substrate being arranged to carry on one side thereof a conductive layer in which a plurality of radial slots is defined equiangularly disposed to extend outwardly from a central region of the substrate, and on the other side thereof a microstrip feed line arrangement via which the radial slots are arranged to be...

The invention is a new method for the manufacture of motor car radiators, regarding the soldering operation of the cooling body, consisting of cooling pipes and fins of aluminum, copper, brass or steel with an easily melting alloy.

The invention relates to a thermostatic type valve for a hot water radiator. The valve has an adjustable insert for changing the throttle setting of the valve. An intermediate setting element has a spline connection with the insert to facilitate turning of the insert. An adjusting ring likewise has a spline connection with the setting element and also a spline connection with the valve housing which facilitates securing the intermediate setting element to the housing. The adjusting ring is axial...

An improved method is disclosed for the soldering together of the cooling assembly of automobile radiators wherein aluminum fins, a first part of the cooling assembly, are etched in a solution consisting essentially of 10 to 14% sodium hydroxide, 4 to 7% zinc cyanide, 20 to 30% technical urea with the balance water for a period of 15 to 30 seconds at a temperature of 32 .degree. to 60.degree. C prior to undergoing treatment with a protective coating and eventual soldering to cooling pipes made o...
