Abstract:
A cooling system is provided for high energy emitting devices such as employed in X-ray diffraction testing equipment. The cooling system includes a removable filter holder that carries a filter for being disposed in a cooling path formed in the X-ray head assembly with the holder including a detachable connection to the head. The removable holder allows for servicing of the filter without requiring significant disassembly operations on the X-ray head assembly. In the preferred form, the holder has a screw-type configuration and the detachable connection is a threaded connection to a cooling head portion of the X-ray head assembly.
Abstract:
A screened gravity-fed water funnel or water funnel kit may be characterized in one aspect as including a substantially conically-shaped water-permeable mesh screen, a funnel releasably mounted or mountable to, and in fluid cooperation with, the screen, and a flexible tether mounted or mountable to the screen. An anchor or other means for embedding an upstream end of the tether immobile in the stream is mounted or mountable to the tether, opposite to the screen. That is, the anchor is mounted or mountable at an upstream end of the tether and an upstream narrow end of the screen is mounted or mountable to a downstream end of the tether, and wherein an upstream wide-end of the funnel is mounted to a downstream wide-end of the screen, and wherein a hose coupler is mounted or mountable to a downstream narrow end of the funnel.
Abstract:
An inline pipe filter and an air conditioner including the same. The inline pipe filter can be fitted into a refrigerant pipe with ease and convenience, and has a reinforced structure to endure pressure from the refrigerant applied thereto in alternating directions during heating and cooling operations. The inline pipe filter may include a ring-shaped cap, and a metal screen coupled to a periphery of the cap and having a plurality of minute holes. The metal screen may include a supporting member disposed around an inner peripheral surface of the metal screen so as to reinforce the metal screen. An inline pipe filter can be equipped to a refrigerant pipe connected to an inlet of an electronic expansion valve in an air conditioner. Another inline pipe can be fitted into a refrigerant pipe connected to an inlet of a compressor in the air conditioner.
Abstract:
A filter has three filter elements, e.g., screens, for trapping particulate material while allowing passage of a fluid. The second sides of each of the first and second screens are connected to an intermediate passage, and the second side of the third screen, and the intermediate passage, are connected to a filter outlet port. The filter has two alternately selectable configurations. In a first configuration, the first side of the first screen is connected to a filter inlet port, and the first side of the second screen is connected to the first side of the third screen. In the second configuration the first side of the second screen is connected to the inlet port, and the first side of the first screen is connected to the first side of the third screen. The first and second screens alternately filter particulates which are subsequently flushed and then trapped by the third screen for periodic removal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for filtering a liquid, with a housing, a liquid inlet arranged in the housing, a liquid outlet arranged in the housing, a filter for removing particles from a liquid stream arranged between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, and at least one additive for functionally altering the liquid properties arranged in the apparatus, in which the additive is arranged in the interior volume of the apparatus and is shaped in a colloidally disperse, dimensionally stable, elastic form corresponding to at least one geometric space defined by an interior structure of the apparatus or of the filter for removing the particles.

Abstract:
A retrievable drill pipe screen is adapted for releasable connection within a drill pipe string. The screen has a planar support plate for connecting a perforated tubular screen body to a fish neck wherein the plane of the planar support plate is generally parallel to the axis of the screen body. The orientation of the planar support plate provides minimal resistance to fluid flowing into the screen body while also reducing vortex effects that cause wear of screen components. Preferably, a wear distributor sleeve is fit within the screen body for protecting against wear of the screen caused by fluid flow and a retaining rod can secure the bottom of the screen body to the fish neck in the event that a lower portion of the screen body becomes detached.
Abstract:
A frustum filter used for separation of cation and anion exchange resins, which is used in condensate water polishing system or apparatus, wherein said frustum filter comprises a microporous filtering net body (1) which is formed by sintering a mixture of silicon carbide grains and a binder, said net body being provided with a plurality of micropores, the diameter of said micropores being in a range of 50-300 micron, said filtering net body (1) being shaped as an inverted truncated cone and its maximum diameter being in a range of 50-200 cm, the angle between a inner tapered face and a horizontal plane being in a range of 15°-30° and the thickness of said filtering net body being in a range of 2 cm-14 cm. Some reinforcing steel bars which have the property of high temperature resistance are embedded in said filtering net body(1) in advance. A steel ring (6) welded at the housing (2) is fixed on the external circumference of said filtering net body (1). This invention has the following advantages: it can distribute evenly water and has high strength; it can not be blocked easily and will not create dead zones when filtration; the product of the invention has high strength and cannot be deformed easily over the prior art; it also has the properties of strong acid fastness, strong alkali fastness, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance.
Abstract:
This filter-drier for removing moisture from a refrigerant includes a casing having an inlet for receiving refrigerant, an outlet for discharging and a molded core disposed in the casing between inlet and outlet. In one embodiment, the core includes an outer surface in part engaging the inner surface of the casing. Axial movement of the core is prevented by bonding with the casing or by an indentation protruding into the core or both. Another embodiment-includes a filter media pad bonded to the core sufficiently to hold the pad in place eliminating the need for outlet support screens. In another embodiment suitable for reversible operation in a heat pump system, the filter-drier includes a hollow cylindrical core having a filter media bonded to the core and defining a filter media lined passage, the core being held in place by end plates having opposed axial check valves and offset check valves.
Abstract:
A system for the continuous use and recapture of a catalyst in liquid, comprising: a generally vertical reactor having a reaction zone with generally downwardly flowing liquid, and a catalyst recovery chamber adjacent the reaction zone containing a catalyst consisting of buoyant particles. The liquid in the reaction zone flows downward at a rate which exceeds the speed of upward buoyant migration of catalyst particles in the liquid, whereby catalyst particles introduced into the liquid in the reaction zone are drawn downward with the liquid. A slow flow velocity flotation chamber disposed below the reaction zone is configured to recapture the catalyst particles and allow them to float back into the catalyst recovery chamber for recycling into the reaction zone, rather than being swept downstream. A novel 3-dimensionally adjustable solar reflector directs light into the reaction zone to induce desired photocatalytic reactions within the liquid in the reaction zone.
