20130093108 | APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING A FRAGRANCE USING A FAN - This application is directed to a fragrance dispenser attachably connected to a fan comprising: a housing having openings defined in the housing; a fragrance reservoir included in the housing for receiving a fragrance medium containing a fragrance; a cover operably associated with the opening for restricting airflow into the fragrance reservoir; and, a cover actuator operably connected to the cover having an open position allowing airflow into and out of the fragrance reservoir for dispensing a fragrance and a closed position for restricting airflow into and out of the fragrance reservoir. | 04-18-2013 |
20140091487 | Dispensing System - A dispensing system for dispensing a material is disclosed that includes a housing for receipt of a dispenser holding a material. A fan is disposed within the housing. Upon activation, the fan draws air into the housing and diffuses the material charged air from the housing with a substantially 360 degree dispersal pattern. | 04-03-2014 |
20140138860 | FLUID DIFFUSING NOZZLE DESIGN - A nozzle design for diffusing high pressure steam into by flowing process fluid of substantially lower pressure while reducing the noise intensity generated. The injection nozzles include an opening having a first diameter to receive steam and a second diameter to inject the steam into a flow of liquid. The diameters of the first and second openings can vary relative to each other to enhance the flow characteristics of the steam or other gas being injected into a flow of liquid. The outer surface of a diffuser tube is coated with an insulating material, such as plastic. In alternate embodiments, the orientation of the injection holes can be angled either upstream or downstream to further enhance mixing characteristics of the steam. | 05-22-2014 |
20140264976 | COOLING TOWER WITH FIRE STOP - A cooling tower with a plurality of fill packs has a fire stop with openings disposed below the fill packs, a water distribution system for distributing water onto the fill packs, and a cold water basin disposed below the fire stop for collecting water which has past through said fill packs. The openings in the fire stop occupy at least 80% of the area over which the fire stop extends. The fire stop is made of an intumescent material with an expansion ratio sufficient to close said openings when said material intumesces. | 09-18-2014 |
20150069643 | AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER BYPASS FOR WET COOLING TOWER APPARATUS AND METHOD - A cooling tower having an evaporative media along with a liquid distribution system that distributes hot liquid over the evaporative media. The cooling tower includes a pair of heat exchanger modules that each have a first set of passageways in fluid communication with a first flow duct and a second set of passageways in fluid communication with a second flow duct. The heat exchanger module transfers heat from a first air stream into a second air stream. The cooling tower further includes a first bypass flow path that extends between the first heat exchanger module and the second heat exchanger module whereby a bypass door regulates airflow there through. | 03-12-2015 |
20150292823 | Liquid Distribution Device - A liquid distribution device for fluid cooling devices particularly for cooling towers comprises at least one primary distribution pipe or at least one primary distribution trough, wherein a plurality of secondary distribution pipes are connected to the at least one primary distribution pipe or the at least one primary distribution trough, wherein the secondary distribution pipes are provided with nozzles, wherein the secondary distribution pipes at least section-wise have an angular cross-section and are formed from a fiber reinforced plastic. | 10-15-2015 |

20130341810 | Bubble-Column Vapor Mixture Condenser - In a bubble-column vapor mixture condenser, a fluid source supplies a carrier-gas stream including a condensable fluid in vapor phase. The condensable fluid in liquid form is contained as a bath in a chamber in each stage of the condenser, and the carrier gas is bubbled through the bath to condense the condensable fluid into the bath. Energy from condensation is recovered to a coolant in a conduit that passes through the liquid in the stages of the condenser. The bubble-column vapor mixture condenser can be used, e.g., in a humidification-dehumidification system for purifying a liquid, such as water. | 12-26-2013 |
20140284824 | BASE FOR A MASS TRANSFER COLUMN - The invention relates to a tray for a mass transfer column, having gas passage openings distributed over the tray ( | 09-25-2014 |
20150130093 | SYSTEMS INCLUDING A CONDENSING APPARATUS SUCH AS A BUBBLE COLUMN CONDENSER - Condensing apparatuses and their use in various heat and mass exchange systems are generally described. The condensing apparatuses, such as bubble column condensers, may employ a heat exchanger positioned external to the condensing vessel to remove heat from a bubble column condenser outlet stream to produce a heat exchanger outlet stream. In certain cases, the condensing apparatus may also include a cooling device positioned external to the vessel configured and positioned to remove heat from the heat exchanger outlet stream to produce a cooling device outlet stream. The condensing apparatus may be configured to include various internal features, such as a vapor distribution region and/or a plurality of liquid flow control weirs and/or chambers within the apparatus having an aspect ratio of at least 1.5. A condensing apparatus may be coupled with a humidifier to form part of a desalination system, in certain cases. | 05-14-2015 |
20150298023 | ASSEMBLY FOR SEPARATING GAS MIXTURES IN FRACTIONATING COLUMNS - The invention relates to cryogenic technology, namely, to devices for obtaining components of gas mixtures by rectification method, particularly, neon isotopes. The device comprises housed in jackets rectification columns, forming connected in series head and N−1 consecutively installed sections, containing contact spaces, whose upper areas are connected with condensers, whose inner surfaces contact with the mixture to be separated in the rectification columns, and outer surfaces—with the cooling medium, which, through gas recuperative heat exchangers, are connected by the line of the working body return flow to the compressor and the working body separator with the connecting pipe of the gas phase, condensers are grouped into blocks of condensers in sections which have common cavities of the cooling medium and, at least, one of N installed sections consists of n | 10-22-2015 |
