FOOD WASTE DISPOSER
Provided is a food waste disposer. The food waste disposer according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a housing; a grinder detachably installed inside the housing and configured to grind food waste accommodated therein; and a deodorizer positioned to a side of the grinder, and configured to suck a smell generated from the grinder and discharge the smell to outside of the housing, wherein the grinder includes: a grinding case; a rotating grinder including a plurality of blades rotatably installed at different heights inside the grinding case; and a wall grinder including a protrusion protruding inward from the grinding case at a different height from the plurality of blades, the wall grinder detachably installed on a side wall of the grinding case.
Efficient use of adsorbents for indoor air scrubbing
Some embodiments of the disclosure correspond to, for example, a method for controlling a scrubber containing an adsorbent. The scrubber may be configured to cycle between scrubbing at least one pollutant/gas from a stream of gases with the pollutant/gas being adsorbed onto the adsorbent, and regenerating at least some of the adsorbent and thereby purging at least some of the one pollutant and/or first gas from the adsorbent via a regeneration gas flow. The method may include flowing a stream of gases through the scrubber, the scrubber including the adsorbent and adsorbing at least some of the one pollutant/gas from the stream of gases onto the adsorbent during an adsorption phase over a first time period. The method may also include purging at least a portion of the one pollutant/gas from the adsorbent during a regeneration phase over a second time period with a regeneration gas flow, and cycling therebetween.
Display device of vehicle on which CO.SUB.2 .recovery device is mounted
A display device of a vehicle on which a CO.sub.2 recovery device is mounted, the CO.sub.2 recovery device through which gas circulates recovering carbon dioxide from the gas, the display device includes: a controller configured to control the vehicle, the controller including a recovery state determination unit configured to determine a recovery amount or a recovery state of the carbon dioxide recovered by the CO.sub.2 recovery device and an image data creation unit configured to create image data corresponding to the recovery amount or the recovery state detected by the recovery state determination unit; and a display screen configured to receive the image data and display an image corresponding to the image data, wherein the image data and the image vary depending on the recovery amount or the recovery state.
GAS-PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Described are gas-processing systems that include a pre-heater, that are useful for processing a flow of gas flowing the gas to contact media (e.g., purification media, catalyst, adsorbent), and related methods.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING PRESSURE IN A FUEL TANK
Methods and systems for purging fuel vapors from an evaporative emissions system of a vehicle are described. The methods and systems may include opening one or more bypass valves of carbon filled canisters to supply air to a low pressure port of a venturi pump. The bypass valves may be opened when fuel vapors are being moved from a fuel tank to an engine while the engine operates.
HIGH-CAPACITY DESICCANT BREATHER
A breather is disclosed. The breather may have a breather housing, a desiccant material, and a moisture indicator. The breather housing may be configured to receive at least an air flow containing moisture. The desiccant material may be contained within the breather housing, and the desiccant material may be enclosed by a breather wall. The moisture indicator may be located within the breather housing, and the moisture indicator may be positioned between the desiccant material and an internal side of the breather wall. The moisture indicator may provide a visible representation of an amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant breather. The visible representation of the moisture indicator may be visually observable through the breather wall. The desiccant material may be configured to adsorb up to about forty percent (40%) of the desiccant material's weight in moisture.
METHOD OF PURIFYING HYDROGEN SUPPLIED FROM A STORAGE CAVERN
The present invention is directed to a method and system of purifying hydrogen supplied from a storage cavern, particularly to removing methane and other hydrocarbons from the hydrogen withdrawn from the cavern by using selective adsorption. The adsorbed impurities can be removed from the adsorbent by increasing the temperature, reducing the pressure, or a combination of both.
Fluid sensor system and method for analysing fluid
A sensor system comprising a housing having an inlet aperture through which fluid enters the housing and a conditioning material in the housing, the conditioning material being adapted to control levels of a substance within the housing. The sensor system comprises a sensor for analysing the fluid in the housing. The sensor system comprises circulation means which is configured to alternate circulation of fluid within the housing between a sensing fluid path in which the fluid is analysed by the sensor and a second fluid path in which the fluid flow is conditioned. A method for analysing fluid in a housing using a sensor is also provided.
Acid gas treatment
Apparatus and methods for treating acid gas, which utilizes multi-stage absorption cycle of ammonia desulfurization to treat acid tail gas after pre-treatment of the acid gas, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient and low-cost treatment of acid tail gas. The parameters of the acid tail gas may be adjusted by a regulatory system such that the enthalpy value of the acid tail gas is in the range of 60-850 kJ/kg dry gas, for example, 80-680 kJ/kg dry gas or 100-450 kJ/kg dry gas, to meet the requirements of ammonia desulfurization, and achieve the synergy between the acid gas pre-treatment and ammonia desulfurization. Furthermore, hydrogen sulfide may be converted into sulfur/sulfuric acid plus ammonium sulfate at an adjustable ratio.
Systems and methods for vehicle fuel tank refueling
Methods and systems are provided for vehicle fuel tanks including multiple reservoirs. In one example, a method may include opening a canister purge valve of a fuel system responsive to a fuel level of a fuel tank transitioning above a first threshold fuel level, and closing the canister purge valve after flowing a pre-determined amount of fuel to the fuel tank while the canister purge valve is open.
