A device for synthesising and studying compounds under controlled temperatures and pressures includes: a body delimiting a vacuum chamber including temperature-regulation means and vacuum-application means, and having one or more viewing windows enabling the inside of the chamber to be observed from the outside; temperature-regulation means that are intended for regulating the temperature inside the vacuum chamber; and vacuum-application means that are intended for regulating the pressure in the vacuum chamber; wherein it includes, inside the vacuum chamber, a sealed structure delimiting a sealed chamber having one or more viewing window facing said one or more windows in said body, and at least one pipe that is in fluid communication firstly with the inside of said sealed chamber and secondly with an outlet that is made in the body and provided in order to be connected to one or more sources of gas for synthesising said compound or sample.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, mass production is possible and production time may be reduced, thus increasing yield. Furthermore, a method and apparatus for manufacturing a nanomaterial, which can manufacture a high-purity nanomaterial are disclosed.

A door sealing system for a container having a container door is provided. The container can be part of a vacuum system, for example as mounted on a trailer. The sealing system is hydraulically actuated and includes a mechanical lock. A corresponding vacuum system and method of operation are also provided.

Disclosed is a hydrogen generator with a door that can be opened to replace a fuel unit and closed to seal the door. A lock responds directly to pressure within the chamber to prevent opening when the pressure exceeds a threshold value. The lock includes a locking member with a lug that engages a retainer to seal the door when the door is locked and is disengaged from the retainer when the door is unlocked. An opening mechanism moves the locking member to lock and unlock the door. A movable key is engaged with the opening mechanism and the locking member when the pressure in the chamber is at or below the threshold value and disengaged from one of the opening mechanism and the locking member by an actuator (e.g., a flexible diaphragm) so the door cannot be unlocked and opened when the pressure is above the threshold value.

Generally, an extraction system useful in separating an extract from a matrix using one or more extractants. Specifically, an extractor including one or more of: an extraction vessel having an extractor vessel internal surface which defines an extraction chamber which communicates between open extraction vessel first and second ends, a first piston configured to sealably engage the extractor vessel internal surface of the extraction vessel first end or a second piston adapted to sealably engage the extractor vessel internal surface of the extraction vessel second end.

A sealing device for sealing a rotatable shaft of a gas compressor and/or a gas expander may include first and second sealing chambers and an extraction unit. The first sealing chamber may surround the rotatable shaft and include an inlet for the supply of a sealing medium. The second sealing chamber may be separated from the first sealing chamber by a seal and may surround the rotatable shaft. The second sealing chamber may include an outlet for the discharge of the sealing medium. The extraction device may extract the sealing medium out of the second sealing chamber. The present disclosure also concerns a corresponding method. Still further, the present disclosure concerns an installation for producing nitric acid with a NO compressor and a residual gas expander as well as a corresponding method. The NO compressor and/or the residual gas expander may have such a sealing device.
