Imperial Valley Geothermal Project is a complex of eleven geothermal power stations located in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field, along the southeastern shore of the Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley of California. It is the second largest geothermal field [clarification needed] in the United States after The Geysers in Northern California ...
Russell Hobbs, Inc. (formerly Salton, Inc.), was an American company based in Florida which manufactured home appliances, most notably the George Foreman grill and Russell Hobbs appliances. In June 2010, Russell Hobbs, Inc. was taken over by and became part of Spectrum Brands .
A bronze casting showing the sprue and risers. A riser, also known as a feeder, [1] is a reservoir built into a metal casting mold to prevent cavities due to shrinkage.Most metals are less dense as a liquid than as a solid so castings shrink upon cooling, which can leave a void at the last point to solidify.
By 2007, Salton Europe was focusing primarily on its Russell Hobbs brand [15] with the Pifco brand licensed for use by other companies soon afterwards. [16] [17] Salton renamed itself as Russell Hobbs, Inc in 2009, [18] shortly before being acquired by Spectrum Brands in 2010. In the UK, Salton Europe Ltd followed suit by becoming Russell Hobbs ...
In the 1980s, many U.S. production engine remanufacturers began reaming valve guides, rather than replacing them, as part of their remanufacturing process. They found that by reaming all the valve guides in a head to one standard size (typically 0.008 in. diametrically oversized), and installing remanufactured engine valves having stems that are also oversized, a typical engine head can be ...
The head casting was changed to accommodate different mounting surface of the new valve. (1994 CA emissions engines used an adapter to mount the LEGR valve.) A new LL0 cylinder head appeared in 1999 using a roller camshaft with hydraulic lifters and rocker arms, but power was unchanged.
Using the same cylinder head casting for both cylinder banks: A V-type engine design allows both cylinder heads to be mirror images of each other at the front of each cylinder bank. In a V-type OHV engine design, it is possible to use the same cylinder head casting for both banks, by simply flipping it around for the second bank.
In aluminium castings, hydrogen is the only gas that dissolves in significant quantity, which can result in hydrogen gas porosity. [9] For casting that are a few kilograms in weight the pores are usually 0.01 to 0.5 mm (0.0004 to 0.02 in) in size. In larger casting, they can be up to one millimetre (0.04 in) in diameter. [8]
