| 20110056371 | SENSOR - A method and sensor for monitoring chemical species in a gas flow are described. An ionized sample of gas is passed through a flow channel, with a DC electric field applied transverse to the longitudinal axis of the channel. Any electric current produced by the ion flow is measured, with variations in the current being indicative of a change in composition of the gas flow. In certain embodiments, the DC field may be varied over time, to sweep the field voltage. The detected current against field voltage graph may be taken as a profile of a particular gas composition. Variations in the profile again are indicative of a change in gas composition. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110139000 | Single/multiple guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) with engine attached chamber/manifold particle collector - This invention relates in general to a fixed guard(s)/cap(s) and/or screen(s) apparatus (single and/or double formation) shall effect multiple aspects for example the nacelle and inlet for numerous craft, jets, turbojet, turboprop and turboshaft engines—(Helicopters and other VTOL aircraft) such as power plants or the like. This apparatus contains the rotational system(s) which may be applied to the engine shaft attached apparatus and/or pole that allows the mechanism to function by self-induced movement, without limiting engine thrust. Additional security measures have been introduced to the guard(s), cap(s) and/or screen(s) apparatus, which includes a gaseous intake cavity, centrifuge, chamber, manifold and processes—static free and or purification chamber, and a particle collector without limiting engine thrust. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120073436 | METHOD TO CONTROL PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSIONS - A method for removing particulate matter from a particulate-bearing gas stream comprises flowing a particulate-bearing gas stream at a first volumetric flow rate to a plurality of ESP units; producing electrically charged particulate matter; collecting electrically charged particulate matter on collection electrode plates; reducing the flow through at least one of the ESP units; sequentially increasing the flow through one or more remaining ESP units in an amount so as to maintain the sum of flow through all of the ESP units at the first volumetric flow rate; subjecting the collection electrode plates in the at least one ESP unit with reduced flow to forces which dislodge the particulate matter from the collection electrode plates; collecting the dislodged particulate matter in a particulate collection receptacle; and withdrawing a gas stream of reduced particulate matter contamination. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120192714 | PROCESS FOR SEPARATING PARTICULATE SOLIDS FROM A GAS STREAM - One exemplary embodiment can be a process for separating particulate solids from a gas stream. The process can include regenerating a catalyst in a regenerator, separating particulate solids in first and second cyclone stages, passing the gas stream from the second cyclone stage to an external third stage separator, and passing the gas stream from the external third stage separator to a cyclone recirculator to obtain a clean gas stream. | 08-02-2012 |
| 20130118349 | Vane Electrostatic Precipitator - The embodiments described herein improve on the present electrostatic precipitator method of using parallel plates to collect particulates by using multiple parallel vanes set at operating parameters described below. By using vanes, the main entrained air is subdivided and directed to flow between vanes that induce resistance to flow allowing charged particles to collect on the vanes. The width of the vane is designed to be wide enough so the air flow rate at the ends of the vanes is less than 1 ft/s, allowing particles discharged from the plates to fall by gravity and in the direction of very low air flow, resulting in extremely low re-entrainment and efficient particle collection. Using vanes also allows for higher operating air velocities resulting in a smaller equipment foot print. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20140053727 | STAGED ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR - A device includes a chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet. The device includes a plurality of stages including at least a first stage adjacent a second stage. The plurality of stages are disposed in the chamber and each stage has a plurality of discharge electrodes disposed in an interior region and is bounded by an upstream baffle on an end proximate the air inlet and bounded by a downstream baffle on an end proximate the air outlet. Each stage has at least one sidewall between the upstream baffle and the downstream baffle. The sidewall is configured as a collection electrode and has a plurality of apertures disposed along a length between the upstream baffle and the downstream baffle. The upstream baffle of the first stage is positioned in staggered alignment relative to the upstream baffle of the second stage and the downstream baffle of the first stage are positioned in staggered alignment relative to the downstream baffle of the second stage. | 02-27-2014 |
| 20140144319 | ORBIT FILTER MAGNETS FOR CYCLONIC CLEANERS - A method for agglomerating dust particles in a cyclone dust apparatus which includes providing a cyclone dust removal apparatus that includes a housing; depositing a plurality of objects having affinity for particulate matter within said housing; directing a fluid stream having particulate matter disposed therein into the cyclone dust removal apparatus; and operating the cyclone dust removal apparatus whereby agglomeration of ambient particulate matter on respective objects occurs. | 05-29-2014 |
| 20140283686 | Vane Electrostatic Precipitator - Methods using vane electrostatic precipitators collect charged and uncharged particles with vane assemblies that are physically arranged to reduce the air flow rate to at or below 1.0 ft/sec (0.305 m/sec). In preferred embodiments, the main entrained air is divided into smaller proportions by using a plurality of vane assemblies in a vane electrostatic precipitator operating at a specific angle that have discharge electrodes in front of the vanes. This results in both the particles being charged and the flow rate of the air and articles being reduced as they traverse between vanes and over the vane surface. The vane width, operating angle, vane length and vane offset are designed to reduce the air flow rate. As a result, at the ends of the vanes, a high percentage of the air flow is less than 1 ft/s. This allows the particles that are discharged from the vanes during operation to fall by gravity and in the direction of lower air flow, resulting in extremely low re-entrainment and efficient particle collection. | 09-25-2014 |

The separator device further includes a pressure-drop generating member in the separation chamber. The oil recovery chamber is coupled to the downstream portion of the separation chamber via a vacuuming port, so that the oil recovery chamber is depressed. | 04-07-2016 |
