Title:
COLD REFORMING MACHINE FOR L P G CYLINDERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/031409
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cold reforming machine for L P G cylinders by using hydraulic power, compressed water, and rollers to repair the body of L P G cylinders under the high pressure of water.

Description:
Cold Reforming Machine For L P G Cylinders

Technical Field :

The Cold Reforming Machine is for use in the field of L P G cylinders repair in petroleum gas companies and petroleum gas filling stations and factories for reconditioning L P G cylinders without need of heat treatment.

Background Art :

All reforming operations based on the use of heat and compressed air inside the cylinder till the reforming completed. All L P G reconditioning companies are put a limit of 3 to 4 dents per cylinder to be treated, more than that cylinders are scrapped.

Disclosure of Invention :

A cold reforming machine for L P G cylinders by using hydraulic power, compressed water, and rollers to repair the body of L P G cylinders under the high pressure of water. The main idea is the use of rollers during the circulation of the cylinder for safe and high quality reforming. The machine includes 16 horizontal rollers in a cylindrical matrix divided onto 2 parts , a half cylindrical couple stationary lower jaw, a half cylindrical couple moving upper jaw, a vertical hydraulic ram, an electric drive coupled with gearbox, a cylindrical holder, a hydraulic unit, frame of iron beams have a U shape , a low pressure water pump, a high pressure water pump, and a water / air filling head. The use of hydraulic pressure of water in a cold condition for reforming the body of the cylinder gives best results in reforming with keeping of the structure of the material, in this case the number of dents per the cylinder that able to repair are not limited. The cold reforming allows the repetition of reforming many times without deformation or collapsing in the material or need of heat treatment. It also keep the cylinder in use because this development for cold repair will save cylinders from scrapping. The use of rollers is the main element for controlling the reforming in the ideal critics. Brief Description of drawings
