Atmospheric water generation having multi-stage pathogens neutralizing elements
Systems for atmospheric water generation are disclosed. An illustrative system may comprise a first housing, an air intake filter disposed within the housing and coated with titanium dioxide to neutralize airborne pathogens, a water collector disposed below the cooling element, and a water storage tank coupled to the water collector. The system filters the water with a pathogen neutralizing module configured to receive approximately 12 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure, wherein 12 psi pressure is configured to removed pathogens from the collected water in closed loop and pressured second subsystem.
Refrigeration/cold storage food safety filters
A food-grade, all-natural cold storage anti-bacterial filter is disclosed. The filter may control moisture, gaseous contaminates, mold, and bacteria within a cold storage unit; improve food safety; and improve the life of cold storage equipment. Reduced food spoilage, reduced energy usage, and increased cold storage shelf life may result from use of the filter. The filter includes a mixture of effective amounts of a base mineral, hygroscopic plant botanicals, and anti-bacterial plant botanicals, wherein the mixture is disposed in an FDA-approved food grade material.
Composition and system for gas storage
A composition for gas storage including a mixture of particles of amorphous macroporous organic polymer (MOP) and particles of a metallic organic framework (MOF).
Portable micro-preconcentrator to facilitate chemical sampling and subsequent analysis
The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a preconcentrator system for preconcentrating air samples. This preconcentrator system includes a plurality of preconcentrators that preconcentrate the air samples prior to chemical analysis, and a delivery structure comprising a manifold that selectively routes a sample airflow to the plurality of concentrators so that the plurality of preconcentrators receive a sample airflow concurrently or individually.
Atmosphere control for cargo storage spaces
A controlled atmosphere system for a cargo storage space, the system comprising a separation area for receiving atmospheric gas from the cargo storage space, a gas moving device arranged to move atmospheric gas from the cargo storage space into the separation area to thereby increase a pressure within the separation area, and a molecular sieve arranged in communication with the separation area, such that when the separation area is at an overpressure, selected molecules are vented out of the separation area through the molecular sieve.
Atmospheric water generation and remote operation
Systems for atmospheric water generation are disclosed. An illustrative system may comprise an atmospheric water generator, and a wireless communications device communicatively coupled to the atmospheric water generator. The wireless communications device may be configured to receive and display status information associated with the atmospheric water generator, and to provide operating instructions to the atmospheric water generator. The wireless communications device may be further configured to display an outside temperature, an outdoor humidity, a water level, an indoor temperature, an indoor humidity, and a dew point. The wireless communications device may be further configured to receive control instructions, and wherein the wireless communications device is further configured to communicate the control instructions to the atmospheric water generator.
Amine-based porous polymer for selective carbon dioxide capture
An amine-functionalized, crosslinked porous copolymer can be synthesized by linking 1,4-benzenediamine and pyrrole with p-formaldehyde in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid catalyst. The polymer is permanently microporous, with a BET surface area of 250 to 350 m.sup.2/g. Due to the high concentration of polar amines within its backbone, the polymer exhibits a CO.sub.2 uptake of 17.5 to 30 cm3/g at 298 K and 1 bar, but demonstrated a remarkably high selectivity for CO.sub.2 over N.sub.2 at 298 K. Dynamic breakthrough experiments indicate that this material is an effective adsorbent for selectively separating CO.sub.2 from a dry and wet gas mixture containing N.sub.2 for over 45 cycles without significant loss of performance. Furthermore, the polymer can be regenerated at room temperature after each cycle by a simple N.sub.2 flow.
Metal organic frameworks for gas storage
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods of removing one or more compounds from a fluid comprising contacting a metal-organic framework (MOF) composition having a square-octahedral topology with a fluid containing one or more of CH.sub.4 and O.sub.2, sorbing one or more of CH.sub.4 and O.sub.2 with the MOF composition, and storing one or more of the CH.sub.4 and O.sub.2 with the MOF composition.
AIR POLLUTION REMEDIATION SYSTEM FOR LARGE OPEN-AIR SPACES
An air pollution remediation system is provided. The systemic apparatus includes a tubular column having a plurality of spaced apart vents along its outer surface. Each vent has adjustable louvers for controlling the airflow therethrough. An airflow conduit extends along the longitudinal length of the column with porous layers and a mass of absorbent disposed between the airflow conduit and the plurality of vents. A fan fluidly coupled to the airflow conduit urges ambient air into the airflow conduit and through the porous layers and the mass of absorbent and out of the vents in a selectively controlled manner by way of the adjustable louvers. A prefilter may be disposed upstream of the fan. A network of the systemic apparatus can be arranged to provide, in a selective enabled manner through the adjustable louvers, a contiguous looping canopy of purified air over large open spaces.
Refrigerator
A refrigerator comprises a refrigerator body, an air-conditioning membrane assembly and an air pump assembly. The refrigerator body defines a storage space and a compressor chamber therein, a storage container is arranged in the storage space, and a freshness-keeping space is defined inside the storage container. The air-conditioning membrane assembly is configured to allow more oxygen than nitrogen in airflow in a surrounding space of the air-conditioning membrane assembly to pass through the air-conditioning membrane and enter an oxygen-rich gas collection chamber. An inlet end of the air pump is communicated with the oxygen-rich gas collection chamber in a controlled manner via a pipeline and a pipeline switching mechanism, for pumping gas in the oxygen-rich gas collection chamber to the outside of the freshness-keeping space, such that the actual content of oxygen in the freshness-keeping space is in a range of 2% to 19%.
