International Classification:
B01D 53/34, B01D 53/64, B01D 53/74
US Classification:
423210, 422168, 422177
Abstract:
A hot trap for removing a reactive constituent gas from a gas stream via chemical reaction and/or thermal disassociation includes a trap chamber with a heater assembly and a trap medium in its core inner portion and annular pre-heating and counterflow heating ducts in its outer and intermediate portions surrounding the core inner portion for heating an inflowing gas stream and conservation of heat energy in the trap as well as to maintain lower temperatures on external surfaces.
Two-Stage, Slow-Start Valve Apparatus And Method
US Patent:
2012015, Jun 21, 2012
Filed:
Dec 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/968551
Inventors:
Youfan Gu - Superior CO, US
David Neumeister - Loveland CO, US
Kevin Grout - Denver CO, US
David Neumeister - Loveland CO, US
Kevin Grout - Denver CO, US
Assignee:
MKS INSTRUMENTS, INC. - Andover MA
International Classification:
F16K 31/12
US Classification:
251 28
Abstract:
A two-stage, slow-start valve includes a minor valve assembly inside a major valve closure member of a major valve closure assembly so that fluid can flow through the valve at a higher rate by opening the major valve assembly or at a lower rate by opening the minor valve assembly while the major valve closure assembly is closed in order to allow fluid to flow in an alternate flow path through the major valve closure member. The example minor valve closure assembly has a minor valve closure member that is actuated to open by a minor valve piston on which minor valve actuating fluid is applied to the minor piston via a diaphragm seal positioned between the minor piston and the minor valve actuating fluid. Both the major valve closure assembly and the minor valve closure assembly can be pneumatically actuated to open.
