International Classification:

F25D 2312

US Classification:

622591

Abstract:

A floor mounted air conditioner comprising a housing containing condenser coils disposed in a conical configuration about a normally vertical axis, and cylindrically configured evaporator coils coaxially disposed above the condenser coils. A drip pan separates the condenser and evaporator coils and includes openings for discharging condensate onto the condenser coils for evaporation. A condenser fan associated with a bottom duct adapted for installation in a mounting opening in the floor of a room blows hot air through the mounting opening, and an evaporator fan is associated with a top duct for blowing cool air into the room being cooled. Another fan is provided for blowing cool air over the compressor.

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a krill peeling machine having a bank or plurality of banks of pairs of peeling rolls having peeling nips therebetween and with their major axes transverse to the path of flow of a supply of krill to be peeled through the machine. There are means for oscillating the peeling rolls causing the nips to engage and peel the krill to provide a tail meat with shell removed. The bank of peeling rolls are positioned at a declination of from 20. degree. to 30. degree. to the horizontal, each bank having a loading and discharge end. A krill leveling means is situated at the loading end of each peeling bank for distributing the krill substantially evenly across the peeling nips of the transversely disposed rollers to provide a layer of krill in contact with the peeling nips. Each peeling section has water means positioned to supply a water spray so that the water acts as a peeling lubricant between the krill and peeling nips and also as a conveyor to promote progress of the krill down the bank of peeling rolls as a fluid conveyor bed the speed of progress of which can be varied depending on the size and age of the krill. Also located above the transversely disposed peeling rolls are krill longitudinal guide means which are spaced transversely along the major axes of the peeling rolls to maintain a uniform distribution of krill transversely of the axes of the peeling rolls.
