Abstract:
Separation systems can utilize a combination of forces to separate constituent components of a working fluid from each other. Some separation systems utilize one or more of centrifugal and gravitational forces in the purification of hydrogen gas. Some separation systems can utilize one or more of electromotive and magnetic forces in the purification of hydrogen gas.
Abstract:
Extraction devices are disclosed for extracting liquid particulates from a gaseous stream. The extraction devices may have a powered or free spinning rotating extractor that may be mounted in the extraction device's source or extraction duct. During operation, liquid particulates impinging on the rotating extractor form a thin film of extracted liquid that travels due to centrifugal force to the periphery of the extractor's exterior surface where the extracted liquid may be flung to the inner surface of the extraction duct and collected.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment can be a vessel for receiving a fluid. The vessel may include a shell and a demister including at least one section positioned proximate to the shell. Each section can have a first surface for primarily receiving the fluid and orientated, independently, about 5—about 85° with respect to horizontal.
Abstract:
An air pollution control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a stack that discharges flue gas discharged from a boiler outside; a blower that is provided downstream of the stack and draws in the flue gas; and a CO2 recovering apparatus that recovers CO2 in the flue gas drawn in by the blower. The stack includes a controlling unit that suppresses release of the flue gas outside from the stack and suppresses inflow of atmosphere to the stack, and the controlling unit is a channel forming unit that forms a serpentine channel through which the flue gas and the atmosphere in the stack flow.
Abstract:
The multi-cyclone dust separating apparatus includes a first cyclone unit including a first outer tub with a first air inlet and a cylindrical element with a first air outlet, and whirling air from the first air inlet to separate dust therefrom, the cylindrical element being disposed in the first outer tub to form a first cyclone chamber, along with the first outer tub; a second cyclone unit including a plurality of cyclones, each having a second air inlet for drawing in dust-laden air from the first cyclone chamber, to provide a second dust separation; and a dust bin including a first dust collecting chamber for collecting the dust separated by the first cyclone unit and a plurality of second dust collecting chambers for collecting the dust separated by the second cyclone unit.
Abstract:
A particulate filter includes first and second honeycomb substrates. An outlet face of a first substrate is positioned against an inlet face of a second substrate such that channels extending longitudinally through the substrates are aligned to form continuous channels. A continuous skin is joined to each of the substrates to form a unified substrate. A portion of the continuous channels are selectively plugged to form a wall flow filter.
Abstract:
A cyclone separator (40) includes a housing (42), in which a cyclone assembly (10) is contained. The housing (42) has an inflow chamber (44), an overflow chamber (46) and a discharge chamber (48). The cyclone assembly (10) has an inner cyclone liner (16) positioned concentrically within a cyclone chamber (12). A displacement means (52) is provided for displacing the inner cyclone liner (16) axially from an operative position in the cyclone chamber (12) to an inoperative position in the overflow chamber (46) of the housing (42). The cyclone chamber (12) has a larger internal diameter than the inner cyclone liner (16), therefore, when the inner cyclone liner is moved to the inoperative position, the flowrate through the cyclone assembly is increased.
Abstract:
An emission treatment system includes a separation device having a vessel that includes an inlet for receiving an emission stream having entrained solid particles. A first outlet from the vessel discharges captured solid particles from the emission stream and a second outlet from the vessel discharges a clean stream having fewer entrained solid particles than the emission stream received into the separation device. A particle collector is fluidly connected with the separation device and includes a collection portion for capturing solid particles from the emission stream.
Abstract:
A blower housing for use with an engine. The blower housing is adapted to receive a stream of intake air, and the engine includes at least one cylinder. The blower housing includes an intake opening, an air filter housed within a filter compartment, and an air flow duct adjacent to the filter compartment. The air flow duct is configured to direct air to the at least one cylinder. The air flow duct includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being angled with respect to the second surface to deflect the air passing through the duct away from the first surface toward the second surface. The first surface separates the air into a first portion and a second portion having deflected particulate matter therein. The duct also has an aperture that allows air to flow from the duct to the air filter, and an exhaust window.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of a filter are described herein. In one embodiment, a filter includes a first side and a second side both of which have openings therein. A plurality of baffle members are positioned between the first side and the second side. The plurality of baffle members may be provided as separate pieces or as part of a baffle element. The filter may be used to remove grease from cooking exhaust in residential or commercial kitchen environments. In another embodiment, the filter includes a first side which has a plurality of entry openings in it and a plurality of baffle members which define a plurality of exit openings where air exits the filter.
