Abstract:
The present invention relates to a water piping system, and more particularly, to a water piping system configured to reduce slam and water hammer of a check valve through delay of backflow of fluid by ejecting water stored in a pressure tank to a fluid forward direction at a high pressure when a pump in the water pipe is suddenly stopped, and through inducement of complete closure of the check valve by reducing a pressure applied to the check valve.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an ejector nozzle having a liquid-carrying duct and a gas-carrying duct. The gas-carrying duct opens into the liquid-carrying duct upstream of an outlet opening. The insert acting as a flame arrester is positioned in the gas-carrying duct. The insert is configured in such a way that no gas can flow around the insert. The invention furthermore relates to use of the ejector nozzle in a jet loop reactor.
Abstract:
A turbine powered or solar powered disinfection system is incorporated in the main fluid line that is flowing to a point-of-use (POU) or point-of-entry (POE) water system or water storage tank. Disinfectant is added to the flowing fluid line or disinfectant energy is otherwise imparted to the flowing fluid line. Energy from the turbine or solar power source can be stored in a rechargeable battery or other energy storage device. The power for the disinfection system can be monitored and conditioned by a control system or power convertor. Said control system can incorporate diagnostics, operating instructions, alarms, remote control functionality, or integration with other control systems. Disinfection can be provided by a chlorine or mixed oxidant generation system, an ozone system, a chlorine dioxide system, an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, or other disinfection system.
Abstract:
An ejector arrangement (1) is provided comprising a housing (5), at least two ejectors (2) arranged in said housing (5), each ejector (2) having a motive inlet (3), a suction inlet (29), an outlet (11) and a longitudinal axis (17). Such an arrangement should have a simple construction. To this end said suction inlet (29) of said ejectors (2) are connected by means of fluid paths to a common suction line (8).
Abstract:
This present invention is a more economical method and apparatus for compressing gas or other compressible fluids in high volumes at any desired pressures for any desired purpose. One preferred use is for generating high volumes of air capable to be delivered at any drafts for the purpose of lubricating ships motions and accordingly lowering their drag, fuel consumption and harmful emissions.
Abstract:
A swirling space in which a refrigerant is swirled into a gas-liquid mixing state includes an upstream swirling space in which the refrigerant flowing from an external is swirled, and a downstream swirling space in which the refrigerant flowing from the upstream swirling space is introduced into a nozzle passage while swirling. Further, a cross-sectional shape of an outlet part of the upstream swirling space is formed into an annular shape along an outer peripheral shape of the upstream swirling space.
Abstract:
An ejector includes a first nozzle, a second nozzle, an atomization mechanism, and a mixer. A working fluid in a liquid phase is supplied to the first nozzle as a drive flow. A working fluid in a gas phase is sucked into the second nozzle. The atomization mechanism is disposed at an end of the first nozzle and atomizes the working fluid in a liquid phase while maintaining the liquid phase. The mixer generates a fluid mixture by mixing the atomized working fluid generated by the atomization mechanism and the working fluid in a gas phase sucked into the second nozzle. The atomization mechanism includes an ejection section that generates a jet of the working fluid in a liquid phase and a collision surface with which the jet from the ejection section collides. The collision surface is inclined with respect to a direction in which the jet flows.
Abstract:
In a vapor compression refrigeration system, an evaporator and a gas-liquid separator are received in a common casing, so that the gas-liquid separator and the evaporator are placed close to each other. Thus, it is possible to limit heat absorption of the liquid phase refrigerant from the atmosphere to reduce the heat loss upon discharge of the refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator. Also, it is possible to reduce pressure loss in a refrigerant passage between the gas-liquid separator and the evaporator.
Abstract:
A vapor evacuating device that enables product offloaders to quickly, easily, and safely offload chemicals and the associated vapors from vessels with minimal environmental impact and inconvenience by combining vapors from a tanker vehicle with an evacuation fluid, such as water, in order to yield a solution that is easily and safely disposed.
Abstract:
In an atomizer device for the production of a liquid-gas mixture (4), the mixture (4) is introduced, particularly for compression, into a nozzle arrangement (3) in which the kinetic energy of the mixture (4) is in large part converted into compression energy by a pressure rise of the air. The atomizer device (2) includes a central air feed (16) and a nozzle chamber (18) for the supply of liquid surrounding the air feed. At or in the atomizing device, means (17) are arranged in the nozzle chamber for producing a swirled liquid flow in the nozzle chamber (18), and the swirled liquid flow emerges via a nozzle aperture (19) surrounding the air feed.
