The present invention relates to an apparatus that is part of a reusable fuel processing unit that allows the absorption of char contained within vapor that is leaving the reactor including a gear box, gearbox housing, support flange and seal, exhaust housing, exhaust port, connecting flange, screw top split housing, vertical steal housing, three augers with drive shafts on each auger contained within the steel housing, discharge flange, support ring, expansion cart, and cam followers.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for processing reusable fuel wherein the apparatus comprises a support body and a plurality of augers disposed within the support body. The augers may be configured to rotate against a vapor flow to clean carbon char from vapors comprising condensable and non-condensable hydrocarbons. A drive system may be connected to drive and control the plurality of augers. An exhaust system is connected to the support body. A gearbox housing is connected to the exhaust system, wherein the drive system is accommodated in the gearbox housing. A ventilation system is disposed within the gearbox housing. Additionally, a thermal expansion system may be connected to the support body.

A multilayer thin film evaporator for steam heating includes a housing. A three-layer evaporation cylindrical core arranged in a nested manner with one layer placed inside the other is configured inside the housing. A limiting plate is configured to fix the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core. A feeding tube, a heating medium inlet tube, and a heating medium outlet tube are sequentially fixed under the limiting plate in a crosswise manner. A rotary rack spindle passing through a center of the three-layer evaporation cylindrical core, a rotary rack fixed on the rotary rack spindle and capable of rotating with the rotary rack spindle, and a motor component connected to a top end of the rotary rack spindle and capable of driving the rotary rack spindle to rotate are further provided.

Integrated rotary evaporator apparatuses are provided. Such rotary evaporators include a vertically oriented evaporator for evaporating a sample to form a sample evaporate, a mixing apparatus for mixing the sample in the evaporator, a condenser for condensing the evaporated sample into a condensate, a collection vessel for collecting the condensate, a vacuum pump to create a vacuum in the evaporator, and a refrigeration system integrated into the condenser, where all components are integrated into a single apparatus. Standalone large-scale chillers for cooling a liquid, vapor or other medium are also provided. Such chillers include a heat exchanger or evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a temperature controller, all integrated into a single standalone chiller usable with any vessel or reservoir containing liquids, vapors or other medium from which heat is to be removed. Methods of using such devices to distill, evaporate and/or cool a sample or medium are provided.

The invention relates to a rotary evaporator having a rotary drive, having an evaporator flask rotatable about an axis of rotation by the rotary drive, having a vapor tube, and having a glass structure adjoining the vapor tube in the direction of vapor flow, wherein a filter connected upstream of the glass structure, in particular upstream of the vapor tube, is provided for filtering solids from a vapor flow.

The present invention provides a beverage and a dermatological composition comprising water molecules, the water molecules having oxygen atoms of different isotopes, the beverage being enriched in at least one of the oxygen isotopes, the enrichment being in reference to (i) the amount of that oxygen isotope in the water used to produce the beverage or (ii) the amount of that oxygen isotope in ground water, or (iii) Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water. The water molecules may be derived from a plant source, such as a juice, a sap or a tree water.

The present invention relates to a process for purifying a composition comprising a hydrohalocarbon B comprising the steps of: i) providing a composition A1 comprising a hydrohalocarbon B and at least one impurity C different from said hydrohalocarbon B, ii) compressing said composition A1, and optionally cooling it, so as to obtain said hydrohalocarbon B in liquid form in order to form a liquid stream A2 comprising said hydrohalocarbon B, iii) distilling said stream A2 obtained in step ii) in order to form and recover a stream A3 comprising said hydrohalocarbon B, characterized in that step iii) is carried out in a pressurized distillation device comprising one or more rotating packed beds.
