Disclosed is an oxygen generator with improved noise and vibration reduction, compactness, and user convenience. The oxygen generator includes a gas separation membrane module including: gas separation membranes formed of a bundle of hollow fiber membranes; an atmospheric air inlet, to one end of which one end of the gas separation membranes is bonded, sealed, and attached, and the other end of which air in the atmosphere enters; a nitrogen outlet, to one end of which the other end of the gas separation membranes is bonded, sealed, and attached, and the other end of which nitrogen exits; a guide rail where the gas separation membranes are wound in a coil and stored on an inner surface thereof; a gas separation membrane module casing containing the guide rail where the gas separation membranes are stored.

An air separation module includes a canister, a separator, and a perforated plate. The canister has a plenum portion connecting an inlet portion to an outlet portion, extends circumferentially about a canister axis, and has a plenum diameter that is larger than a canister diameter defined by the inlet and outlet portion of the canister. The separator is arranged within the canister and axially spans the plenum portion to separate air received at the inlet end portion into nitrogen-enriched and oxygen-enriched air flows. The perforated plate is seated within the plenum portion, fluidly couples the separator to an oxygen-enriched air outlet port defined by the plenum portion, and has a snap-fit major dimension smaller than the plenum diameter to radially support a portion of the separator axially spanning the plenum portion of the canister. Nitrogen generation systems and methods of making air separation modules are also described.

A membrane filter apparatus for splitting a feed into filtrate and retentate is provided. The apparatus comprises a body chamber, a feed inlet disposed on the body chamber, a retentate outlet located in the body chamber, a feed distribution tube connected to the feed inlet, and a filter assembly having a filter. The feed distribution tube has a length sufficient to cause the feed to enter the body chamber at a feed distance from the filter assembly of no greater than 50% of a total length of the body chamber. The feed flows across the filter in a direction parallel to a surface of the filter assembly. The filtrate passes through the filter assembly and the retentate flows through the body chamber in a direction antiparallel to the feed flow through the feed distribution tube and out through the retentate outlet.

The present disclosure relates to a membrane extraction apparatus for extracting a component from a first liquid. The apparatus may incorporate a housing comprised of first and second mating housing halves, with each housing half having an open faced channel formed therein such that the channels at least partially overlay one another when the two housing halves are secured together. A membrane filter is disposed between the two housing halves to overlay the open faced channels. The membrane filter extracts the component from the first liquid and transfers the component into the second liquid as the first and second liquids flow through the first and second housing halves.

A membrane structure body having a matrix structure and a biomolecule filter using the same are disclosed. The membrane structure body having a matrix structure, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises: a filtering part which includes a window region in which a plurality of window cells are formed in a matrix shape and a blocking region in which the window cells are not formed, and which filters biomolecules from a sample moving along the window region; and a support part extending from the filtering part so as to support the filtering part, wherein each of the window cells formed in the window region of the filtering part has have micro-holes allowing the biomolecules having a predetermined size or less to pass therethrough

The present invention relates to a membrane humidifier for a fuel cell, which can prevent a decrease in humidification efficiency due to a pressure difference between the inside and outside of a membrane humidifier, the membrane humidifier for a fuel cell, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a middle case having a module insertion part inside; a cap case coupled to the middle case; a hollow fiber membrane module inserted to the module insertion part; and a pressure buffer part between the inner wall of the middle case and the module insertion part.

A filtration arrangement for a filtration device having a container. The filtration arrangement includes at least two or more hollow shafts, rotatably mounted in a machine frame, on which a plurality of membrane filter disks are arranged. At least one drive device is allocated to the plurality of hollow shafts. Permeate can be discharged from the container through the hollow shafts. Each hollow shaft can be inserted into the container on one of the ends thereof having the plurality of membrane filter disks, such that the opposite end thereof protrudes out of the container. Several or many of the membrane filter disks are arranged axially spaced apart on each hollow shaft, and deformable spacer sleeves are arranged between one part or all adjacent membrane filter disks and axially space apart the membrane filter disks on the hollow shafts.

A method of joining and sealing a vanadium based membrane to a metallic connection section comprising: mounting a section of a vanadium based membrane on a connector formation of a connection section, the connection section being formed of a different metal to the vanadium based membrane, the connector formation providing a recess into which a section of the vanadium based membrane is seated and a connection interface in which the end face of the vanadium based membrane is proximate to or substantially abuts an adjoining face of the connector formation; mounting and operating a chiller arrangement in thermal contact with vanadium based membrane proximate the connection interface; heating a filler metal on the connection section to at least the liquidus temperature of the filler metal using a laser beam directed onto the filler metal located on the connection section and having a beam edge positioned at an offset location spaced apart from the connection interface a distance that attenuates direct heating of the vanadium based membrane by the laser beam, and on the connection section, such that the filler metal can flow over the connection interface from the offset location onto the vanadium based membrane; and cooling the filler metal to form a bridging section of filler metal between the vanadium based membrane and connection section over the connection interface.
