Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for improved high pressure processing of parts and materials with fast cycle time, clean operation, and easy to change pressure vessels. Applications include but are not limited to pressure vessels for critical point drying of MEMS or SEM samples, parts cleaning, supercritical fluid extraction, and aerogel processing. In a specific embodiment, the pressure vessel can operate near or above the critical pressure and temperature of a fluid in the pressure vessel for parts processing. This includes critical point drying of MEMS or SEM samples in an easy to use processing pressure chamber system.
Abstract:
The current disclosure relates to an apparatus and a process for producing poly-α-olefins (PAO), including reacting olefin monomers in a presence of a catalyst complex to form PAO product. The reaction is performed in a reaction including a reactor vessel and a system for recycling and cooling part of reactor outlet stream. At least one reactor is a cone reactor with a first cross sectional area in an upper part of the vessel and the cross sectional area decreases downwards to a second cross sectional area, which is smaller than the first cross sectional area.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a highly effective method of removal of gases from the chemical reactor (01) by use of a suction unit employed near the inlet, outlet or both ends of the chemical reactor. The suction of entrapped air from the reaction mixture helps avoid fluctuation in the temperature or pressure requirement or formation of other by-products in the reaction mixture.
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.
Abstract:
Provided are a gasket, a reactor using the same for sealing a spiral, and a manufacturing method thereof. The present invention improves a spiral sealing mechanism of a reactor wherein, spirals are continuously installed in the longitudinal direction between an inner pipe and an outer pipe coaxially arranged to form a flow path for a heat medium, so the seal between the spiral and the outer pipe is stably maintained and fabrication of the reactor is facilitated. The gasket (10) according to the present invention has a structure that the gasket is inserted in and coupled with the spiral (3), and thus does not need additional processing for combining the gasket (10). Therefore, since the gasket (10) and spiral (3) are coupled by lodging the spiral (3) into a channel (21) of the gasket (10), the assembly is facilitated. Furthermore, since the gasket (10) is evenly coupled in the outer circumference of the spiral (3), in which a cushion plate (40) made of resilient material is installed, breakage of the gasket (10) during assembly of the outer pipe (2) is effectively prevented and the post-assembly seal between the spiral (3) and the outer pipe (2) is stabilized.
Abstract:
A multi-channel fluid dispenser includes a reservoir (106) with multiple internal chambers (844) with ports (850) to fill each chamber (844), a multi-channel liquid dispensing head, a plurality of fluid-delivery conduits, and support and positioning elements.
Abstract:
This invention presents a high-pressure high-temperature reaction vessel having a metallized graphite heater for improved performance. The metallized heater consists of a graphite tube comprising a refractory metal. Metallization of the graphite heater is accomplished either by coating the graphite tube with a refractory metal, by intermixing a refractory metal in the graphite, or by positioning a refractory metal sheet or cylinder adjacent the graphite heater. The refractory metal constrains the graphite heater, adds toughness to the heater, shields the heater from outside contamination, and provides an electrical contact for a thermocouple.
Abstract:
A safety device for gas or steam pressure vessel, including at least one downstream valve connected to the pressure vessel via a tubing with a burst disc dividing the tube into an upstream section A and a downstream section B. The downstream section B includes a protective assembly for minimizing the maximum pressure of a shock wave generated when the burst disc is broken and strikes the valve.
Abstract:
A light-weight super high vacuum vessel is disclosed in which a super high vacuum pressure over 10.sup.-10 Torr or over 10.sup.-11 Torr can be achieved using a simple evacuation system and/or with a sealing structure.
