According to the invention, a system for separating gas from a liquid is proposed. The system comprises a pressure chamber, said pressure chamber comprising an inlet through which liquid is pumped into said chamber, and wherein said pressure chamber further comprises a first liquid outlet connected to an upper part of said pressure chamber comprising a first valve element and a second liquid outlet connected to a lower part of said pressure chamber comprising a second valve element. Said first and second valve elements are adapted to control the pressure inside said pressure chamber, whereby, while under pressure, a subpart of the liquid inside said pressure flows out of the first and second liquid outlets, respectively, and wherein a main part of the gas content is in the subpart flowing through the first liquid outlet. Thereby, liquid having a certain gas content will be separated into two subparts in a fast and easy way. where the first subpart comprises a main part of the gas content and the second subpart comprises liquid being essentially free of gas. The pressurisation within the pressure chamber decreases the time it takes to achieve such separation. Further, the provision of valves and outlet allows controlling the separation process and further allows the outlet of a liquid having a main part of the gas content and the outlet of liquid being essentially gas-free. Further, the provision of valves allows a continuous process, such that the system may be incorporated into running processes, e.g. a running engine.

Magnetic systems and methods for oxygen separation and purification from fluids utilizing the paramagnetic properties of oxygen. A magnetic field gradient is established in a tube having a first end in flow communication with a source of a fluid containing oxygen. The fluid is flowed through the tube. The magnetic field gradient causes oxygen to be enriched in the fluid on a first interior side of the tube as compared to a second interior side of the tube. For a fluid like air having oxygen, a paramagnetic substance, and other, e.g., diamagnetic, components like nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapor, the technology of the disclosure effectively separates oxygen molecules from the other components in magnetic field gradients of sufficient magnitude.

An inline process for imparting sonic energy plus a liquid gas separator to a continuous flow of a heterogeneous liquid to de-gassify the liquid and thereby provide for separation and extraction of selected liquid and gas components. The device utilizes a flat plate oriented in the direction of flow within the liquid so as to impart pressure fronts into the liquid to initiate liquid gas separation followed by a line pressure regulation, fluid jet stream, device to impart fluidic shear to fluid jet stream, and a separation vessel to facilitate mass transfer.

A drip chamber is provided that includes a hollow body and a nucleation column extending into the interior of the hollow body. The nucleation column can be formed with, or treated by a treatment to include, microfeatures or other surface properties that provide nucleation sites for the nucleation and amalgamation of microbubbles. The drip chamber can include a bubble catcher in the bottom of the hollow body and the nucleation column can extend from the bubble catcher into the interior of the hollow body. Methods of making such drip chambers are also provided.

Disclosed are a water electrolysis system and a control method thereof. The water electrolysis system includes: i) a water electrolysis stack including active electrodes receiving an electrolyte and producing hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing the electrolyte; ii) a gas-liquid separation device receiving a product produced from the water electrolysis stack, separating the product into an electrolyte, oxygen, and hydrogen, and discharging the electrolyte, oxygen, and hydrogen; iii) a hydrogen sensor measuring a concentration of hydrogen in oxygen discharged from the gas-liquid separation device or a concentration of hydrogen in a circulating electrolyte; and iv) an electrolyte re-supplying module replenishing the electrolyte discharged from the gas-liquid separation device with water and then re-supplying the electrolyte to the water electrolysis stack, and selectively raising a temperature of the electrolyte on the basis of the concentration of hydrogen measured by the hydrogen sensor to remove gas in the electrolyte.

A gas turbine engine has a fan drive turbine for driving a gear reduction. The gear reduction drives a fan rotor. A lubrication system supplies oil to the gear reduction, and includes a lubricant pump to supply an air/oil mixture to an inlet of a deaerator. The deaerator includes a separator for separating oil and air, delivering separated air to an air outlet, and delivering separated oil back into an oil tank. The separated oil is first delivered into a pipe outwardly of the oil tank, and then into a location beneath a minimum oil level in the tank. Air within the oil tank moves outwardly through an air exit into the deaerator. A method of designing a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Proposed is a constant flow conditioner having a microbubble removal function and there is an effect that sample water is supplied at constant flow rate and pressure to a water quality meter regardless of pressure variation of inflow sample due to external factors. Further, there is an effect that it is possible easily remove bubbles in sample water.

A system for conditioning live crude oil to produce stabilized oil that can be stored in a conventional oil storage tank and hydrocarbon gas includes a stabilizer tower and a heater treater. The stabilizer tower receives oil from separators at the wellhead production facility and outputs oil to the heater treater. The heater treater outputs gas back into the stabilizer tower and, optionally, recycles a portion of oil output back into the heater treater, which enhances oil output.

A method for continuously removing a particular type of gas molecules (“gas molecules”) from a gas stream includes selecting a liquid having an affinity for the gas molecules to be removed, and providing the selected liquid to each of a first and second mat, each mat formed from a plurality of fibers having the ability to retain the selected liquid within longitudinally extending channels having longitudinally extending openings against moving into the space between the individual fibers, the mats in fluid communication therebetween with the selected liquid. The method includes directing the gas stream through a portion of the first mat into contact with the selected liquid along the longitudinally extending openings whereby the selected liquid absorbs the gas molecules, and directing a second gas through a portion of the second mat so that the gas molecules, absorbed by and disbursed throughout the selected liquid, are stripped and carried away.
