Abstract:
A carbon based foam article is made by heating the surface of a carbon foam block to a temperature above its graphitizing temperature, which is the temperature sufficient to graphitize the carbon foam. In one embodiment, the surface is heated with infrared pulses until heat is transferred from the surface into the core of the foam article such that the graphitizing temperature penetrates into the core to a desired depth below the surface. The graphitizing temperature is maintained for a time sufficient to substantially entirely graphitize the portion of the foam article from the surface to the desired depth below the surface. Thus, the foam article is an integral monolithic material that has a desired conductivity gradient with a relatively high thermal conductivity in the portion of the core that was graphitized and a relatively low thermal conductivity in the remaining portion of the foam article.

The bonded body has two or more members unitarily bonded by means of a bonding material layer, and the relational expression of 0.5
Abstract:
An exhaust gas purifying system is provided that includes a catalyst carrier, and a honeycomb filter. The filter includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb fired body having a plurality of cells longitudinally disposed in parallel with one another with a cell wall therebetween, with either one end of each cell being sealed. The carrier is placed in an exhaust gas passage on an upstream side of the filter, and at a predetermined distance from the filter. A catalyst supporting layer is formed in the filter in a catalyst-supporting area covering about 25 to about 90% of an overall length of the filter, and substantially no catalyst supporting layer is formed in a non-catalyst-supporting area covering about 10% of the overall length, the non-catalyst supporting area abutting an outlet side of the filter. A thermal conductivity of the non-catalyst-supporting area is higher than a thermal conductivity of the catalyst-supporting area.
Abstract:
A thermally conductive carbon foam is provided, normally having a thermal conductivity of at least 40 W/mnullK. The carbon foam usually has a specific thermal conductivity, defined as the thermal conductivity divided by the density, of at least about 75 Wnullcm3/mnullnull Knullgm. The foam also has a high specific surface area, typically at least about 6,000 m2/m3. The foam is characterized by an x-ray diffraction pattern having nulldoubletnull 100 and 101 peaks characterized by a relative peak split factor no greater than about 0.470. The foam is graphitic and exhibits substantially isotropic thermal conductivity. The foam comprises substantially ellipsoidal pores and the mean pore diameter of such pores is preferably no greater than about 340 microns. Other materials, such as phase change materials, can be impregnated in the pores in order to impart beneficial thermal properties to the foam. Heat exchange devices and evaporatively cooled heat sinks utilizing the foams are also disclosed.
