20220399551 · 2022-12-15 ·

The present disclosure provides a separator-integrated gasket and a manufacturing method therefor, with which the likelihood of the gasket peeling away from the separator can be reduced while reducing the number of manufacturing steps. The separator-integrated gasket includes gaskets 210, 220 that are provided integrally with a separator 200 forming a fuel cell, wherein the separator 200 is formed from carbon to which a thermoplastic first resin material has been added, and the gaskets 210, 220 are formed from a thermoplastic second resin material that is compatible with the first resin material.

Film-integrated gasket having a gasket support with a recess formed therein
11525511 · 2022-12-13 · ·

A film-integrated gasket is provided in which a gasket body is supported by a gasket support body formed of a resin film and a film thickness t.sub.2 at a position where the gasket body is supported is set to be smaller than a film thickness t.sub.1 at an adjacent position thereto so as to satisfy a demand for low reaction force by reducing the compression ratio in the thickness directional in mounting. The film-integrated gasket can be provided with a portion compressed in the thickness direction at the position where the gasket body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference. The film-integrated gasket can alternatively be provided with a portion where a plurality of resin films is stacked at an adjacent position to the position where the gasket main body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference.

Piston ring for floating piston in a thermal energy storage system

A piston ring configured to be disposed in a floating piston for use in a vessel of a thermal energy storage system to separate a hot working fluid from a cold working fluid, wherein the piston ring comprises of a plurality of arc segments, each arc segment interconnected by a joint.

CONVEYOR DEVICE AT LEAST FOR CONVEYING A FLUID AND PUMP COMPRISING SUCH A CONVEYOR DEVICE

The disclosure relates to a conveyor device for at least conveying a fluid with at least one conveyor chamber, with at least one dimensionally stable conveyor chamber element that at least partially delimits the conveyor chamber and with at least one elastically deformable and, in particular, annular conveyor element, particularly a conveyor membrane, that delimits the conveyor chamber together with the conveyor chamber element and is arranged on the conveyor chamber element, wherein the conveyor element has at least one sealing extension that is designed integrally with a base body of the conveyor element and at least partially arranged in a sealing groove of the conveyor chamber element when the conveyor element is arranged on the conveyor chamber element.

FLOATING CALIPER
20220381304 · 2022-12-01 ·

A floating caliper may have a caliper body where the caliper body is movably supported in an axial direction on at least at one guide pin. The guide pin may have a pin sliding portion. The caliper body may have a pin seat, which slidingly accommodates a portion of the pin sliding portion. The floating caliper may also have a sealing arrangement between the pin seat and the guide pin. A sealing arrangement outer surface or a sealing arrangement inner surface may have an axial extension, which is smaller than a pin seat axial extension or the length of the pin sliding portion, respectively, creating, in at least one position of the floating caliper during the axial sliding thereof, at least one sealing arrangement channel between the sealing arrangement and the pin seat or the pin sliding portion.

DOOR SEAL

Provided is a seal for sealing the interface between abutting first and second members, the seal comprising a main body; a channel lobe extending outward from the main body, the channel lobe shaped for nesting in a channel of the first member; a primary sealing lobe extending outward from the side of the main body facing the second member, the primary sealing lobe extending into and contacting an inner surface of the second member; and a secondary sealing lobe extending downward from the main body toward an exterior of the interface, a first face of a distal end of the secondary sealing lobe contacting a front face of the first member, and a second face of the distal end of the secondary sealing member contacting a front face of the second member. The disclosed seal maintains a gas-tight seal and minimizes resisting force when closing the door.

Seal and a tubular heat exchanger using such seal

A seal including a first portion having a first width that extends in a radial direction of the seal, a second portion that is joined with the first portion and having a second width that is smaller than the first width, and a first recess that is located in the first portion to reduce a width expansion of the first portion when the seal is compressed in an axial direction of the seal.

Gasket

A gasket for sealing a gap between a through hole formed on a wall body and a pipe to be inserted into the through hole, the gasket being provided for the pipe and made of tubular elastic material, the gasket having an inner circumferential lip portion which elastically contacts an outer circumferential face of the pipe; and an outer circumferential lip portion which elastically contacts an inner circumferential face of the through hole; an inner seal area on an inner circumferential side where the inner circumferential lip portion is provided is located at a position so that the inner seal area does not overlap in a radial direction with an outer seal area of an outer circumferential side where the outer circumferential lip portion is provided.

Hollow annular seal for equipment disposed in a subsea environment
11592106 · 2023-02-28 ·

A hollow annular seal for sealing two concentric components in a subsea environment is disclosed. The hollow annular seal is constructed from an elastomeric material with a hollow core. The hollow annular seal also includes a plurality of apertures to allow fluid to flow through the apertures and into the hollow core to prevent collapse of the fluid filled, hollow annular seal.

A SEALING STRIP FOR SEALING ADJACENT FILTER PLATE ASSEMBLIES OF A FILTER PRESS, SUCH AS A TOWER PRESS, A FILTER FRAME, A FILTER FRAME ASSEMBLY AND A FILTER APPARATUS

A sealing strip for sealing adjacent filter plate assemblies of a horizontal filter press. The disclosure is based on the idea of providing the sealing strip with a stiffener at a base portion of the sealing strip, positioned such that it intersects with a line running through a ridge provided on a distal portion of the sealing strip and extending along a vertical direction, perpendicular to both the length direction and the width direction of the sealing strip, as seen along the cross-sectional profile of the sealing strip. A filter frame, a filter frame assembly and a filter apparatus having such a sealing strip are also provided.
