Thermally Enhanced Lime Slurry Apparatus

摘要

A single entity lime slurry transport and delivery apparatus is shown having a slurry tank body mounted on a unitary frame. A suction pump on the apparatus delivers slurry to a job site. A power unit on the frame powers a hydraulic mixing motor and the hydraulic suction pump. Selectable thermal management devices are located on the unitary frame, including at least a fuel heater, an engine coolant water heater, a hydraulic fluid warmer and heat exchanger, and heating elements associated with other hydraulic components of the apparatus.
