A double-circulation temperature-controlled cell incubator and a working method thereof. The cell incubator includes a first incubator body, a second incubator body arranged inside the first incubator body, an enclosed space formed between the first incubator body and the second body, a third incubator body arranged inside the second incubator body, a transport device, a heating device, and an insulation device arranged on an outer side or inner side of the first incubator body. An upper side, a rear side and a bottom side of the third incubator body and an inner wall of the second incubator body form a space. The transport device is configured to transport gas in the third incubator body to the space. The heating device is arranged at an inner side of a door or a side of the second incubator body.

An integrated system of cell culture and operation and a method for controlling the same. The integrated system of cell culture and operation includes a housing, a front side of the housing being provided with operating gloves. The housing has a double-layer structure consisting of an inner layer and an outer layer. An upper wall and a lower wall of the inner layer are both provided with through holes. The outer layer has a gas inlet, a gas outlet and a humidifying port. The integrated system of cell culture and operation further includes: a heating module arranged in an interlayer, and a transport module configured to transport gas and circulate the gas in the inner layer and the interlayer, resulting in low gas consumption.

Disclosed is an in vitro exposure system that may radiate a uniform field having a constant wavefront to an experimental cell container and expose each cell container to a same electromagnetic field.

A system includes an algae bioreactor that contains an algae slurry, a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the algae bioreactor to receive the algae slurry from the algae bioreactor and heat and increase a pressure of the algae slurry, and one or more valves and a flash vessel in fluid communication with a discharge of the heat exchanger to flash the algae slurry and create steam and algae biomass. A separator receives the algae biomass from the flash vessel and separates oils from the algae biomass to generate a biofuel.

A process for processing metal ore includes: reducing a metal ore, particularly a metallic oxide, in a blast furnace shaft; producing furnace gas containing CO.sub.2, in the blast furnace shaft; discharging the furnace gas from the blast furnace shaft; directing at least a portion of the furnace gas directly or indirectly into a CO.sub.2-converter; and converting the CO.sub.2 contained in the furnace gas into an aerosol consisting of a carrier gas and C-particles in the CO.sub.2-converter in the presence of a stoichiometric surplus of C; directing at least a first portion of the aerosol from the CO.sub.2-converter into the blast furnace shaft; and introducing H.sub.2O into the blast furnace shaft. By virtue of the reaction C+H.sub.2O.fwdarw.CO.sub.2+2H, nascent hydrogen is produced in the blast furnace which causes rapid reduction of the metal ore. The speed of reduction of the metal ore is thus increased, and it is possible to increase either the throughput capacity of the blast furnace or to reduce the size of the blast furnace. An aerosol in the form of a fluid is easily introducible into the blast furnace shaft.

The application relates to an apparatus for providing a gas for the introduction thereof into an incubation chamber, comprising an inlet port (1) for introducing a gas, an outlet port (2) for discharging a gas, a first gas path (3) connecting the inlet port (1) to the outlet port (2), a second gas path (4) branching off from the first gas path (3) and running back into the first gas path (3); a distributing element (5), configured to allow a portion of the gas introduced through the inlet port (1) to be conducted via the second gas path (4), and an enriching element (6) arranged in the second gas path for enriching the gas flow with a liquid.

The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising a single-use circular bag having a sealed edge, capable of holding a nutrient media and designed to deliver heated or cooled air/gas into the media thereby aerating and maintaining the appropriate temperature for growth of a cell culture. In addition mixing is provided by the use of acoustic radiation devices located below a support structure.

An extra-capillary fluid cycling unit for maintaining and cycling fluid volumes in a cell culture chamber includes a housing and a first flexible reservoir extra-capillary fluid reservoir disposed in the housing. The extra-capillary fluid reservoir is in fluid communication with a cell culture chamber. A second flexible reservoir is also located in the housing, the second flexible reservoir being in fluid communication with a pressure source. A sensor plate is movably disposed in the housing between the extra-capillary reservoir and the second reservoir, wherein the second reservoir is pressurized to move the sensor plate in relation to the extra-capillary reservoir to cause fluid cycling and maintain fluid volumes in the cell growth chamber.
