Chicago Fire Season 4 Ep. 21 "Kind of a Crazy Idea"

Dawson saves a boy from a fire; Kidd's Molly's idea fails; Severide hits a wall while advocating for new fire masks; Cruz and Brett use a secret weapon to get Otis to see Halstead take a blood test.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

Dawson and Casey are in bed together. After sex, Dawson wants him to get pancakes with her. Casey has to leave. He has a meeting about a youth center.

Later, a call comes in for a structure fire. They arrive at an apartment building and Boden tells them to clear the floors before the ceilings cave in. Herrmann and Dawson find a woman passed out in a building with hardly any smoke. It's not smoke inhalation. They find a needle in her arm. She overdosed. Herrmann carries the woman out. Dawson finds a toddler hiding under a table. She coaxes him out as the building collapses. Herrmann gets the woman outside and puts her on a stretcher. Dawson gets the boy out just in time. She carries him to the back of Sylvie's ambulance, but he won't let go, so she rides with him to the hospital.

Back in the break room, Stella is taking her bar management seriously and wants Herrmann to get an Artisan ice machine. Cruz finds Otis. Will tells him about the blood tests he never got done. Will is worried about the big bruises on Otis's back. Otis laughs it off and says the bruises went away. He says it's not that serious.

At the hospital, Dawson learns the woman who overdosed was not his mother - she was a foster mother. Child Protective Services arrives. She says they were investigating her and planning to move Louie. Dawson is upset, but lets Cantrell take Louie away. She says he is going to a group home.

After the fire, Severide finds Boden. They need thermal imaging masks. Severide and Otis nearly died trying to save a Star Wars toy. If they had the masks, they would have known it wasn't a person. Boden says Chief Barr won't order them because they're over budget. Severide visits Chief Barr and they argue. Barr says there is not enough money.

Dawons gets back to the firehouse. She tells them Louie went to the group home. Dawson feels bad because Louie kept asking for a blanket. Dawson goes back to the burnt apartment and finds the blanket. She gives it to Cantrell at her office. Cantrell says Louie has no family, but they're trying to find him a new foster family.

Cruz doesn't think Otis is okay. He wants him to get tested. He calls baba and asks her to come to the fire station to talk to Otis. After she yells at him, Otis is upset but says he'll go to the hospital after work to get blood work done.

Sylvie rushes to the scene after a call for an ambulance. A kid meets them outside and says Damon is acting like he has rabies. They rush inside and find him foaming at the mouth and gasping for air. Damon's friends say they made him drink soy sauce. Sylvie says he's having a sodium overdose. Sylvie goes back to the firehouse. She thinks Damon won't make it. He was in a coma by the time they got him to the hospital. She tells Cruz they did the right thing by calling Baba. Damon's friends waited too long to call for help.

Otis goes in for blood work with Cruz and Sylvie. Will tells Otis he doesn't have leukemia. He has a blood platelet disorder and his blood isn't clotting. He's lucky he didn't bleed to death. He needs treatment fast to stop is brain bleeding. Otis is upset when Will says he can't go back to work until they get the platelets under control.

Casey gets home late from the youth center meeting, and Dawson is waiting. She wants them to foster Louie. She can't stop thinking about him, and he has no family. Dawson says it's fate. Casey agrees Louie deserves a family, but they're too busy. They can't take care of him. Dawson is upset. She makes up an excuse to leave and leaves.

The next day, Dawson talks to Casey at work. She says it's not right for Casey to take in a child. It's the right time for her. Dawson says she'll take care of Louie by herself. She's already met with Cantrell to become a foster parent.

There's a fire call at Molly's, Herrmann's bar. They put out the fire before it spreads. An electrical fire started by the ice maker Stella got for Herrmann.

Back at the firehouse, they get good news. Casey used his position to get the money for the firehouse to get the thermal gear Severide wanted. Boden thanks him for his help. It seems politics is his calling.

In the locker room, Dawson asks Herrmann if she'll make a good him. He doesn't think so, but he knows she'll be a good mother. Cruz checks on Otis and finds him throwing out junk food. Cruz is proud of him and says they'll beat this together.

Dawson meets with Cantrell. She is upset that it takes over a month to become a foster parent. Cantrell says they'll put Louie in another home by then. They can't keep him at the group home until Dawson is approved. Dawson is upset, but Cantrell lets her visit with Louie and they read a book.

Stella is trying to fix the wall at Molly's that was ruined by her ice machine. Severide shows up and offers to help. She is clearly struggling. They end up hooking up.

Application of STMMA copolymer sheets

STMMA casting-specific sheets have attracted widespread attention and great interest from theautomobile mold industry and machine tool casting industry since its launch. We have applied STMMA copolymer sheets produced by a mold casting company of Anhui Province and a mold casting company ofHebei Province, the most famous domestic companies in batches, with a very significant effect.

(1) A company in Anhui Province mainly produces automobile covering molds and provides them to well-known domestic automobile companies. The casting blank has a maximum weight of about 30T EPS sheets that have been used for foam pattern making. Problems of easy deformation, numerous carbon defects, large machining allowances, high cutting costs, high repair costs, long lead time, and high mold scrap rate are mainly found.

Test plan: Use Castchem STMMA copolymer sheets with a pre-foaming density of 22± 1kg/m³. The pattern-making and coating processes remain unchanged, and the casting rate in the black area remains unchanged. The casting temperature is between 1,450~1,500'c and the negative pressure increases accordingly. No reverse squish is found during the casting process. Test results: The casting results show that on an area of 12m2, there are only 3 carbon defects in the processing area of 3-5mm, 2 of which are minor, The machined surface is very smooth and beautiful, and the overall casting quality has been greatly improved. Compared with EPS sheets, carbon defects have been greatly increased. The machining allowance can be controlled at about 10mm, half that of EPS. It can greatly save cutting and repair costs, shorten the lead time, and reduce the scrap rate, as shown in Figure 1.6:

Is it possible to recycle EPS dust using an EPS densifier to efficiently reduce pollution?

Expanded polystyrene, or EPS for short, is a polymer that is frequently used in construction, packaging, and disposable dinnerware. Because EPS degrades slowly in nature, recycling material has become more crucial. Large foam blocks are typically disposed of as part of the primary EPS recycling process, but EPS dust—fine EPS particles produced during production or breakage—also has to be recycled effectively. Recycling EPS dust with an EPS densifier is a useful technique.

EPS densifiers typically recycle dust in this way. EPS dust is being recycled using the GREENMAX EPS densifier; typically, EPS dust is recycled in conjunction with EPS blocs. Both are simultaneously added to the feeding bin, where they are heated, melted, and formed into dense ingots. In certain cases, crushing EPS dust is not necessary if you wish to recycle it separately; instead, you can pour it directly into the silo for hot melting. The two primary recycling status quos are as follows. Dense ingots are created when the amount of trash processed with GREENMAX EPS densifier is reduced to one-90th of its initial size.

Recycling EPS dust with a hot melt machine is a cost-effective and efficient way to treat trash. Hot melt technology can be intelligently applied to minimize the volume of EPS, increase recycling efficiency, and reuse resources. Reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable development can be achieved through the use of effective recycling procedures and equipment management. A significant volume of EPS dust can be processed effectively and turned into recyclable products using the hot melt equipment. This lessens the environmental impact and increases recycling efficiency. Resource recycling is achieved by using recycled EPS that has undergone hot melt processing to create new goods or find other uses. This preserves raw materials while also lowering the amount of waste produced. Efficient recycling can lessen EPS dust's negative environmental effects. The environmental issues associated with landfilling and incineration can be lessened by turning garbage into reusable resources.

Characteristics of copolymer sheet

The copolymer sheets include STMMA and STMMA-FD copolymer sheets (FD sheets for short). STMMA copolymer sheets are mainly used for the casting of ductile iron and steel castings, and the FD sheets are mainly used for the casting of gray cast iron. The copolymer sheets do not contain any flame-retardant ingredients and have the characteristics of low carbon and fewer slags, sufficient combustion, high gas evolution rate, and easy decomposition. Recarburization and carbon defects can be significantly reduced. Compared with EPS sheets, STMMA casting-specific sheets have the following advantages:

(1)Low carbon content, easy decomposition and less recarbonization EPS has a relatively high carbon content (92%), and its molecular structure is a relatively stable benzene ring structure (as shown in Figure 1.3(a)). It is not easy to decompose when heated, EPS is broken and decomposed in a disordered manner, it is not easy to gasify instantly, and residues that are not easy to decompose are generated. STMMA has a small carbon-to-hydrogen ratio (shown in Figure 1.3(b)) and low carbon content (63%)and is broken and decomposed in a zipper-like manner at high temperatures, having more honeycombs inside, which increases the contact area between the material and the air and accelerates the burning rate of the material. The molecular structure contains oxygen atoms. During heating and combustion, oxygen atoms react with carbon atoms to generate gas, so few residues are generated.

(2)Good gasification, few residues, and fewer carbon defects STMMA casting-specific sheets are well gasified, and most foam models are decomposed into products such as CO, CO2, water, and carbides during the casting process. Low molecular gases can escape through the coating layer, so few residues are generated in the foam pattern, Experimental data shows that for EPS and STMMA copolymer sheets of the same density, the residues on the STMMA copolymer sheets under high-temperature casting conditions are about one-tenth of that of the EPS sheets.

(3) Reducing the amount of patching, eliminating secondary processing of castings, and improving the quality of castings. Since STMMA casting-specific sheets have excellent casting properties such as low carbon content, easy decomposition, less recarbonization, good gasification, and fewer residues and carbon defects, castings made of STMMA casting-specific sheets have a high surface finish and less recarbonization and carbon defects, and the machined surface is smooth and flat, and the quality of castings is greatly improved. Only then can casting companies reduce the amount of patching, eliminate secondary processing of castings, and thereby reduce the total production costs of castings. Moreover, the production cycle of castings has also been shortened, thereby achieving the goals of rapid production and delivery. The appearance of the sheets is shown in Figure 1.4, and the sheet production site is shown in Figure 1.5.
