Abstract:
A vessel system for high-pressure reactions is disclosed. The system includes a plugged polymer cylinder reaction vessel with a pressure vent opening extending radially through the wall of the reaction vessel and a supporting frame into which the vessel is received. Complementing keying structure elements on the vessel and on the frame limit the orientation of the reaction vessel in the supporting frame and the radially extending vent opening to a defined single position.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an experimental device for studying the sediment yield behavior and the radial deformation of porous media during the exploitation of natural gas hydrates, comprising a high-pressure reactor, a hydrate sample chamber, a simulated wellbore, a deformation measurement unit, an ambient temperature control unit, an outlet control unit, an inlet control unit and a data processing unit. Further disclosed is a method using the above-mentioned experimental device to carry out experiments. The experimental device and method according to the present invention can conveniently measure the deformation of the porous media during the decomposition of the hydrates and simulate the sediment producing situation in the wellbore, can simulate the sediment yield problem during the exploitation of natural gas hydrates as well as the gas-liquid-solid flowing problem in the wellbore during the exploitation of natural gas hydrates, and can accurately obtain the gas-solid-liquid three-phase yields in real time during the decomposition of natural gas hydrates. Being simple to operate and easy to control, and suitable for various sizes and shapes of reactors, it can provide basic experimental data and a theoretical basis for the technologies of hydrate exploitation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a hydrogen generator with a door that can be opened to replace a fuel unit and closed to seal the door. A lock responds directly to pressure within the chamber to prevent opening when the pressure exceeds a threshold value. The lock includes a locking member with a lug that engages a retainer to seal the door when the door is locked and is disengaged from the retainer when the door is unlocked. An opening mechanism moves the locking member to lock and unlock the door. A movable key is engaged with the opening mechanism and the locking member when the pressure in the chamber is at or below the threshold value and disengaged from one of the opening mechanism and the locking member by an actuator (e.g., a flexible diaphragm) so the door cannot be unlocked and opened when the pressure is above the threshold value.
Abstract:
A glass lined reaction tank for chemical and pharmaceutical industries and a manufacturing method thereof. One-step molding technical standards for manufacturing iron blanks of the glass lined reaction tanks are deeply developed, an overall structure of a flanged big flange of a tank body and a tank cover matching with the tank body are innovated, and nominal pressure of the big flange and the sealing performance of a tank mouth are perfectly improved. By using a new structurally-combined precise controlled internal heating type electric furnace and an intelligent temperature program control/adjustment/recording instrument, heating temperature of an overall glass lining layer on an inner wall of the tank body is more accurately controlled to be the same, and a synchronous, integral and controlled sintering core technique is realized.
Abstract:
A dual vessel reactor and a method of carrying out a reaction using a dual vessel reactor are provided using a non-condensable gas to substantially isolate the inner vessel from the outer vessel during the reaction and limit the heating of the outer vessel when steam from the inner vessel condenses on the interior surface of the outer vessel. By limiting the heating of the outer vessel through the condensation of the steam or other vapour from the inner vessel, the operating temperature of the outer vessel is kept below an upper threshold of the operating temperature of a seal used to seal the door in the outer vessel.
Abstract:
A vacuum roll-to-roll device includes: a first chamber; a second chamber neighboring the first chamber; a shutter disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber; a sealing member attached to the shutter; and a roll-type substrate which moves from the first chamber to the second chamber through the sealing member. A thickness of a lateral side of the roll-type substrate decreases in a direction toward an edge thereof.
Abstract:
The invention describes a high-pressure vessel for holding samples which are to be heated, the high-pressure vessel having: a lower part (5, 104) and a lid part (6, 105) which can be locked together and when closed surround on all sides a reaction chamber for initiating and/or promoting chemical and/or physical high-pressure reactions, it being possible for the lower part (5, 104) and the lid part (6, 105) to be moved relative to each other in an automated fashion between an open access position and a closed microwave processing position, a sample holder (101) and/or a vessel insert (9) being connected to the lid part (6, 105).
Abstract:
A closure (10) for sealing fluid within a pressure vessel having a hub (70) with an opening therein includes a door (12) and a plurality of clamp ring segments (14) for fitting over an exterior portion of both the closed door and the hub. A plurality of interconnecting members (18) connect ends of adjacent clamp ring segments, and an actuator mechanism (20) moves the plurality of clamp ring segments into and out of engagement with the door.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating material includes a pressure vessel and an agitation device for agitating the material received in the pressure vessel. The agitation device may include a drum which may be rotatably arranged inside the pressure vessel and which has an inner space for receiving the material that is introduced into the pressure vessel. The agitation device may include one or more agitation blades mounted in the drum so as to act on the material received in the inner space of the drum as the drum rotates in relation to the pressure vessel. A drive mechanism may rotate the drum in relation to the pressure vessel. Waste, such as garbage, may be treated with steam and pressure using the apparatus.
Abstract:
A clamp adapter assembly for connecting an instrument to a pressure vessel. The clamp adapter assembly allows an operator to convert a bolt connection base known in the art into a base suitable for utilizing a clamped connection similarly known in the art. The connection assembly includes a bottom plate, at least one fastener to fasten the bottom plate to a base, a top retaining plate, and a clamp. The peripheral portions of the bottom plate and top retaining plate may be beveled in order to be received within a tri-clamp. The top retaining plate may include two sections that overlappingly engage one another.
