A system for condensing vapor product is provided. The system includes a first duct configured to receive a vapor product having a first humidity level, the first duct having a first charge in response to application of a first voltage to the first duct so as to ionize the vapor product.

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing an -olefin low polymer by subjecting an -olefin to low polymerization reaction in the presence of a catalyst in a liquid phase part within a reactor, and the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing an -olefin low polymer, such as 1-hexene, etc., by subjecting an -olefin, such as ethylene, etc., to low polymerization reaction, in which the formation of a polymer on an upper tube plate surface of a shell and tube type heat exchanger that is used for heat removal is suppressed, thereby performing a continuous operation stably over a long period of time.

A continuous distillation-type trichlorosilane vaporization supply apparatus includes an evaporator including an introduction port for hydrogen gas as a carrier gas and having a heater that vaporizes liquid trichlorosilane; and a condenser including a cooling device to condense liquid at a temperature corresponding to a saturated vapor pressure, which is lower than a vapor pressure of the vaporized trichlorosilane gas, wherein a center line of the evaporator and a center line of the condenser are not on the same line, and a lower end of the condenser has a structure that communicates with a lower end of the evaporator through a pipe.

Methods, apparatus, and processes are provided for a condenser including flowing a vapor stream including formaldehyde into a tube bundle in a vertical upflow reflux condenser, where a tube in the tube bundle has a length to outside diameter ratio of greater than about 170:1, flowing a cooling fluid on a shell-side of the vertical upflow reflux condenser to condense at least a portion of the vapor stream, where the condensed portion of the vapor stream forms a wetted tube internal surface area on each tube in the generally upright tube bundle; and maintaining the vapor stream velocity at a rate that provides a liquid residence time where formaldehyde condensed on the wetted internal surface area of each tube can react with water to form methylene glycol, removing at least sixty percent (60%) of formaldehyde from the vapor stream fed to the condenser.

Cooling a first device and second device in a fashion to produce water. The method includes collecting environmental air from an environment. The environmental air is used to cool a first device. Cooling the first device generates first device exhaust air produced from the environmental air. The first device exhaust air is provided to a first device portion of a heat exchanger. At a second device portion of the heat exchanger, thermally coupled to the first device portion of the heat exchanger, second device exhaust air generated by cooling a second device is received. At the heat exchanger, the first device exhaust air is used to cool the second device exhaust air to a dew point, causing condensed water to be created from the second device exhaust air. The condensed water is collected.

A vapor/smoke capturing trap system featuring a smoke chamber trap for precipitating the smoke dispersed in the chamber. The chamber includes a bottom pool for containing a reservoir of a liquid solvent, and a gas filled portion in which a lower smog portion contains fog-sized droplets of the liquid solvent and into which the smoke is introduced, and an upper clear portion in which the concentration of the smoke and the droplets is decreased, respective of their concentration in the smog portion. A fog-condenser, disposed between the smog portion and the clear portion, precipitates the fog droplets of the smog portion into the pool. A fine mist generator streams a jet of fog-sized droplets of the liquid solvent mixed with smoke toward a concentration of the smoke at the smog portion. A closed loop gas circulator withdraws gas from the clear portion and recirculates the gas under pressure through the fine mist generator into the smog portion. Fresh smoke is introduced into the gas circulator via a smoke conveying conduit. A complementary smoke capturing method includes filling the reservoir, streaming the jet of fog-sized droplets toward a concentration of smoke dispersed within the lower smog portion of the gas filled portion, precipitating droplets, in the smog portion, into the pool by a fog-condenser disposed between the lower smog portion and the upper clear portion of the gas filled portion, recirculating under pressure, in a closed loop gas circulator, gas withdrawn from the clear portion into the smog portion through the fine mist generator, and conducting fresh smoke via smoke conveying conduit into the gas circulator.

A multi-pass distillation system has a boiling flask with a side exit portal which is functionally connected to a condenser, which is, in turn, functionally connected to one or more cold traps. The condenser condenses wet vapors into liquid while the cold traps protect a pump which is used to suction the air through the system from the boiling flask through the condenser and cold traps. In this manner, one can more accurately collect fractions by way of a sideways exit from the boiling flask, near the top of the flask, with a condenser extending into a body of the spherical flask, such as at a 45 degree angle.

A turbine with a supersonic separator disposed upstream of the turbine. The supersonic separator imparts a swirl on a vapor stream to remove any heavier components. A superheated vapor stream from the supersonic separator is passed through the turbine to reduce the pressure of the vapor stream. At the same time, electricity is generated by the superheated vapor stream via a turbine wheel. The turbine and the supersonic separator can be integrally formed, or they can be discrete components.

The present invention provides a portable extraction device for extracting at least one constituent from a substance by an extraction fluid. The extraction device comprises at least one pump, an extractor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The substance and the extraction fluid are placed and mixed in the extractor. The extraction fluid is a subcritical fluid. The constituent in the substance will be dissolved in the extraction fluid under a predetermined pressure and temperature. The evaporator receives the extraction fluid including the constituent from the extractor, and heats the extraction fluid including the constituent to gasify the extraction fluid and separate the constituent from the gasified extraction fluid. The condenser receives the gasified extraction fluid via a first pipe, liquefies the gasified extraction fluid, and transmits the liquefied extraction fluid to the extractor via a second pipe. The extractor, the evaporator, and the condenser are operated under constant pressure.

The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that performs low-temperature desalination. During operation, the system feeds cold saline water through a liquid-cooling system in a computer data center, wherein the cold saline water is used as a coolant, thereby causing the cold saline water to become heated saline water. Next, the system feeds the heated saline water into a vacuum evaporator comprising a water column having a headspace, which is under a negative pressure due to gravity pulling on the heated saline water in the water column. This negative pressure facilitates evaporation of the heated saline water to form water vapor. Finally, the system directs the water vapor through a condenser, which condenses the water vapor to produce desalinated water.
