METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC GAS MIXTURE PRODUCTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing and delivering a gas mixture having a selected composition of a first gas and at least one second gas, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a main gas flow comprising the first gas in a main conduit, (b) separating the main gas flow into a first plurality of secondary gas flows, (c) guiding each secondary gas flow through a secondary conduit, (d) adding at least one second gas to at least one of the first plurality of secondary gas flows in the respective secondary conduit through a delivering conduit, said delivering conduit protruding into the secondary conduit, and (e) combining the first plurality of secondary gas flows to the gas mixture. With the technical teaching of the present invention a dynamic gas bottle filling is possible wherein the second gas components may have a concentration form some ppb to percent.
CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR STOPPING THE FLOW OF FLUID IN A PRIMARY CIRCUIT, AND RELATED METHODS AND DEVICES
A control circuit for automatically stopping the flow of a gas in a primary circuit, includes a valve, a sensor and a controller. The valve is couplable with a primary pressure-regulator that controls the flow of another gas in a primary circuit. The valve has an inlet operable to receive a gas and an outlet operable to distribute the gas. When the valve is open the pressure of the gas at the valve's outlet equalizes with the pressure of the gas at the valve's inlet. When the valve is closed the pressure of the gas at the valve's outlet is prevented from equalizing with the pressure of the gas at the valve's inlet. The sensor is positionable in the primary circuit and operable to sense a parameter of the flow of the gas in the primary circuit and generate a signal that represents the sensed parameter. The controller is operable to receive the sensor's signal and, in response to the signal, direct the valve to close if the parameter of the flow of gas in the primary circuit lies outside of a predetermined range, to change the pressure of the gas at the valve's outlet. With the control circuit one can block the flow of gas/air toward an injector if the injector becomes stuck in the open position. If the injector becomes stuck in the open position, the primary circuit could consume much more gas/air than required, which could cause the system to consume excess energy and excessively mix the contents.
DEVICE FOR TREATING EXHAUST GAS FROM FUEL CELL
The present invention relates to a device configured for treating an exhaust gas from a fuel cell, the device including: a tube member discharging an exhaust gas from a fuel cell stack; a gas guide portion provided in a tube member and configured to guide a target gas contained in the exhaust gas to the outside of the tube member; and a guide tube spaced from the gas guide portion and provided to cover the gas guide portion such that it is possible to obtain an advantageous effect of effectively reducing a concentration of the target gas in the exhaust gas discharged from the fuel cell.
System for storing chemical liquid and method for adjusting gas concentration in chemical liquid
Chemical liquid is injected into a tank. A concentration of a first gas dissolved in the chemical liquid is detected. Based on the detected concentration of the first gas, at least one of the first gas and a second gas is injected into the tank to sustain at least one of the concentration of the first gas and a concentration of the second gas in a range of a target value.
Static mixer
A static mixer for mixing exhaust gases to be supplied to a selective catalytic reduction device located at the back of a boiler, includes a gas accommodation part having a first inlet and a plurality of second inlets partitioned from each other to introduce gases having different temperatures thereinto so that the gases introduced through the first inlet and the plurality of second inlets flow to a plurality of divided sections. A discharge part is provided that communicates with the gas accommodation part to collect and discharge the gases and a mixing plate part is provided, which has a plurality of unit plates disposed on the upper and lower portions of a hollow portion of the discharge part in such a manner as to have a given angle with respect to the directions of the gases discharged.
Gas mixer for internal combustion engines
A gas mixer for mixing gaseous fuel and air for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The gas mixer may have a housing defining an air path for mixing the gaseous fuel and the air within the air path. The housing may have a narrowed portion. The gas mixer may also have a displacement body axially displaceable and coaxially arranged within the air path. The displacement body and the housing may define an air passage disposed at the narrowed portion. The gas mixer may further have a fuel inlet fluidly connected to the air passage. The fuel inlet may be configured to supply gaseous fuel to the air passage. Further, the gas mixer may have an adjusting unit disposed at least partially within the air path. The adjusting unit may be connected to the displacement body and may be configured to axially displace the displacement body.
Segmented multi-lobe mixer
A multi-lobe exhaust mixer has an annular body composed of a plurality of circumferentially adjacent lobe segments. The lobe segments may be made of a ceramic matrix composite material to reduce the weight of the mixer and ensure proper behavior when exposed to high thermal gradients. Each lobe segment may have partial lobes at circumferentially opposed ends thereof and at least one complete lobe therebetween. The partial lobes of the circumferentially adjacent lobe segments combining to conjointly form complete lobes at the junction between the circumferentially adjacent lobe segments. The partial lobes may be nested into each other to dampen vibrations.
