| 20090321968 | Structure of cooling tower - An improved structure of cooling tower includes a fan housing with a fan disposed therein, induction openings distributed on the fan housing and located below the fan, and a diffuser stack disposed at one end surface of the fan housing. In operation, cold air is drawn into the cooling tower by the fan through inlet openings of the cooling tower so as to exchange heat with the condensing water within a water chiller. When warm and wet air is drawn out of the cooling tower and the warm and wet air outside the cooling tower is induced in through the induction openings and then is drawn out, circulation reflux of warm and wet air, which tends to occur in conventional cooling towers, can be avoided and therefore increase the efficiency of the water chiller. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110049733 | Cooling Tower - A water cooling tower having an improved water collection system. The cooling tower has an outer shell, legs, and one or more layers of fill material, through which the water to be cooled moves vertically downward. The water is distributed across the upper surface of the fill material by piping and nozzles. A fan underlying the fill material moves air vertically upward through the fill material. The water collection system, which is positioned below the fill material, has upper and lower troughs which receive water flowing vertically downward through the fill material. Preferably, the lower troughs are positioned beneath the spaces between upper troughs, to catch water falling between the upper troughs. A number of hinged baffles close off the spaces between lower troughs, but rotate upward in response to upward air flow and open the spaces between the lower troughs. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20120068367 | VACUUM ACTIVATED POWER TOWER - The Present Invention is a modular tower structure comprising a common up-flow column topped with a covered header to which multiple independent down-flow and scavenger columns are attached. It employs a renewable energy process for extracting energy from the atmosphere. The process works by creating a vacuum into which atmospheric air is drawn through a vacuum operated motor driver. The motor in turn can operate other mechanisms as electric power generators. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20130127074 | SYSTEM FOR DECONTAMINATING WATER AND GENERATING WATER VAPOR - A system and method for decontaminating water and generating water vapor includes introducing contaminated water in to a vessel. The water is moved through a series of rotating trays alternately separated by stationary baffles so as to swirl and heat the water to effect the vaporization thereof to produce a vapor having at least some of the contaminants separated therefrom. The vapor is removed from the vessel for condensing apart from the separated contaminants and the remaining water. The vapor may be passed through a turbine connected to an electric generator. Sensors in a controller may be employed to adjust the speed of rotation of the trays or water input into the vessel in response to the sensed conditions. The treated water may be recirculated and reprocessed through the vessel to increase the purification thereof. | 05-23-2013 |
| 20130147069 | Carburetor air intake housing and air flow enhancing securement plate - An air intake housing and flow enhancing plate for a carburetor with a fluted and contoured air intake opening that flushly aligns with and matches the shape of the carburetor air intake opening. The low profile plate is made of metal for durability and heat resistance. The centrally located air intake opening of the plate has a clover leaf or undulating shape that conforms to the shape of the carburetor air intake opening. The plate is secured directly over the top of the carburetor, and extends radially outward to provide a larger area for securing its fiberglass housing. The housing holds a conventional ring shaped air filter located around the carburetor air intake opening. The plate provides smooth transitions between surfaces to decrease turbulence and improve air flow. | 06-13-2013 |

| 20110210457 | CONTACTOR - [Technical Problem] A contactor is provided which is capable of making fluids of two phases contact each other under a good dispersion state and which can be easily multi-staged. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120038069 | MODULAR FLOW SYSTEM - The invention relates to a modular flow system comprising a plurality of frame elements which can be combined by means of welded web structures to various stacks comprising in each case at least two, in particular at least ten frame elements, in order to form different functional units such as in particular a membrane distillation stage, a steam generator, a condenser, a heat exchanger, a filter and/or a pervaporation stage. The frame elements according to the invention comprise in each case an outer frame provided with passage openings and vapour and/or fluid channels as well as a central inner region surrounded by the outer frame. Moreover, each frame element is provided on both sides with a welded web structure that delimits, on the one hand, the region comprising the passage openings and the central inner region and, on the other hand, at least two regions, each comprising a vapour and/or fluid channel. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20120248635 | CORRUGATED PACKING GRID AND STRUCTURED PACKING ASSEMBLED FROM SEVERAL PACKING GRIDS - The invention relates to a corrugated packing grid with consecutively arranged wave crests and wave troughs for a structured packing, which is assembled from several packing grids, for gas-liquid contacting apparatuses, and to a packing assembled from said packing grids. The aim of the invention is to provide a packing grid and a packing which have a large mass transfer area and a low pressure drop at the same time and which offer a high mechanical strength. According to the invention, this is achieved in that elements lie in the region of the wave troughs of the packing grid, said elements extending into the wave troughs. | 10-04-2012 |

| 20130069255 | VAPOR GENERATING APPARATUS IN THE WATER - An apparatus for generating microbubbles in water from a mixed fluid in which a gas and a liquid are mixed. The apparatus includes a cylindrical body which includes an inlet coupled to a hose, an outlet, and a cylindrical space section defined therein. The diameter of the space section is greater than each diameter of the inlet and the outlet. An inner container member is fixed in the space section such that a tubular passage is formed. A circular first collision section is provided on the inner container member. The mixed fluid that has been introduced through the inlet collides against the first collision section and is thus stirred. An “L” shaped second collision section is provided on the inner corner of the body adjacent to the outlet. The mixed fluid that has passed through the passage collides against the second collision section and is thus stirred. | 03-21-2013 |
| 20140264970 | FIREWALL STRUCTURE FOR USE IN A TOWER/FRAME STRUCTURE AND COOLING TOWER - A firewall structure having double panel walls with a first outer wall and a second outer wall is constructed of fiber reinforced material. Multiple cavities are defined between the outer walls and are at least partially filled with a polyurethane insulation. The surfaces of the first and the second outer walls are coated with a layer of material that resists fire and heat. In one embodiment, the layer of material includes intumescent latex which functions to create a thick char layer when exposed to high temperatures or flames. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140284823 | AERATOR AND METHOD FOR AERATING A LIQUID - An aerator may be inserted into the neck of a wine bottle to aerate the wine as it is poured from the bottle. A cavity created in the distal end of the bottle as the wine is dispensed is vented to aid in high flow rate. The aerator seals against the inside surface of a typical wine bottle, and regulates pressures to create high flow and a high degree of aeration throughout the full dispense cycle of wine from the bottle. | 09-25-2014 |
