摘要： A system for keeping a solution of urea in a liquid state comprising a tank having a level sensing apparatus, inlet and outlet tubes for supplying and withdrawing urea solution, and a plurality of non-contact heating elements disposed in vertical relationship to one another. Preferably, the heating elements are infrared (IR) radiative coils encased in IR-transparent quartz tubes. In one embodiment, each heating element represents a horizontally defined heating zone. When the reservoir tank is full and predetermined temperature conditions are met, all of the heaters are on, each heater irradiating its own horizontal zone. As zones are progressively emptied during consumption of the urea solution, as determined by the level sensor, each respective zone heater is de-energized. Because each horizontal zone is heated by a single heater, the solution is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature over the full depth of the tank without localized overheating.

摘要： Single dielectric barrier extruded element non-thermal plasma reactors include first and second opposing dielectric barrier layers forming an exhaust channel therebetween, the first barrier layer provided with a first polarity conductor on an interior surface thereof and the second barrier layer provided with a second polarity conductor on the exhaust channel exterior surface. The second barrier layer provides the single dielectric barrier layer. The second polarity conductor serves as a conductor on the channel interior surface of the adjacent exhaust channel in repetitive fashion. The reactors are free of dedicated conductive passages. An electrode coating pattern having conductive coating extending fully to the side walls to connect with side bus connections eliminates the need for internal bus paths. Single dielectric barrier planar and swept-shaped reactor elements have minimal or partially extending internal support ligaments providing enhanced conversion efficiency.
