Cyclonic cooling system
Fractionation, the process used by refineries to break down carbon chains of petroleum compounds so that the desired carbon compound can be achieved. This process typically involves high heat, distillation, re-boiling, and energy intensive cooling processes. This application discloses an invention that will condense vapor produced by a pyrolysis reactor. This system uses one standard cyclone; three cascading cyclones with internal cyclonic rotation fins that force incoming vapor to maintain a fixed amount of rotation regardless of the vapor's velocity, heat sinks that increase condensation, reversing fins that force gases to reverse direction inside the cyclone decreasing vapor velocity to increase heat loss; a main collection tank that allows for the controlling of the fuel flash point; a compact low temperature coil cooler that uses 100 percent of the cooling surface that allows for the production of higher quality fuel; and, bubblers/scrubbers that produce back pressure into the pyrolysis reactor.
NON-HORIZONTAL WATER EXTRACTOR
A water extractor includes a body with an outer wall, an inlet, an outlet, a first centerline axis, an inner nozzle, an outer chamber, a serpentine channel, a pocket, and a boss. The first centerline axis extends through a center of the body, the outlet, and the inlet. The inner nozzle is co-axial with the first centerline axis. The outer chamber extends between the outer wall and the inner nozzle. The serpentine channel fluidly connects the inlet and the outer chamber. The pocket is fluidly connected to a portion of the outer chamber and is configured to collect water from the outer chamber. The boss extends from and is fluidly connected to the pocket. The boss includes a second centerline axis at an angle with the first centerline axis of approximately 10 degrees or greater.

The apparatus also provides one or more second-type cyclone coolers, wherein each one or more second-type cyclone coolers has a substantially identical second configuration to respective other one or more second-type cyclone coolers, wherein the second configuration is different than the first configuration. The apparatus may also provide an air cooled heat exchanger, a coil condenser and one or more bubblers. The first-type cyclone cooler and the one or more second-type cyclone coolers are connected. One of the one or more second-type cyclone coolers is connected to the air cooled heat exchanger. The air cooled heat exchanger is connected to the coil condenser. The coil condenser is connected to the one or more bubblers.
Carbon dioxide extraction processes, devices, methods, and systems
A CO.sub.2 extraction process for Cannabis sativa that uses liquid CO.sub.2 in combination with co-solvent admixtures to purify cannabis botanicals in high yield and purity. The extraction process allows for multiple extractions, or washes, to be performed with the same solvent CO.sub.2, which may be seamlessly recycled and purified between subsequent extraction cycles. A variety of in-line filtration vessels, pumps, vacuums, and controllable valves are used to yield a pure product while allowing a high level of user control over the process.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FORMING SELENIZED COMPOSITE METAL POWDER
A method includes providing a molten stream of a metal material to an atomizer, atomizing the molten stream using at least one jet of a vapor stream comprising a selenium vapor to form atomized droplets, and solidifying the atomized droplets to form selenized metal particles.
WATER DISTILLATION DEVICE

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RAPIDLY PREPARING LITHIUM CARBONATE OR CONCENTRATED BRINE USING HIGH-TEMPERATURE STEAM
A method and system for rapidly preparing lithium carbonate or concentrated brine using high-temperature steam. The method comprises the steps of: feeding brine into a reactor, heating the brine with high-temperature steam above 200 C. while simultaneously discharging steam produced in the reactor, cooling and condensing the discharged steam in a condenser and collecting the condensate, and stopping the high-temperature steam after the brine is concentrated to a predetermined concentration or after a sufficient amount of lithium carbonate is collected. The system comprises: a reactor provided with a brine inlet, a steam outlet connected to a condenser, a product outlet, and a plurality of steam pipes. The method concerns the direct heating of brine using high-temperature steam, which is effective and efficient, and also produces fresh water. The heating is uniform and rapid, and does not require jackets, heat exchange tubes, mixers and vacuum pumps, vastly simplifying the system.
Method and device for filtering the recycled atmosphere of a print head
A device for recovery of the atmosphere containing solvent vapors from at least one ink recovery reservoir of a print machine comprising: n (n1) filter(s) arranged at the outlet from at least one ink reservoir (10). Each filter comprises an inlet face, an outlet face, a filter body between the two faces, and conduit(s) for recovering at least part of a liquid condensed on the surface of the inlet face before this liquid has passed through it. Each filter is either: upstream from a condenser, an atmosphere output from the reservoir, passing through the inlet face, and then the filter body and the outlet face before being sent to the condenser; or downstream from the condenser, an atmosphere from the condenser passing through the inlet face, and then the filter body and the outlet face before being sent to at least one print head of the print machine, respectively.
