摘要:
A contactor for degassing liquids includes a perforated core, a plurality of microporous hollow fibers, and a shell. The fibers surround the core and have two ends. A tube sheet affixes the ends of the fibers. A baffle is located between the tube sheets. The hollow fibers are closed at the baffle. The shell encloses the fibers, tube sheets, and the baffle. The system for degassing liquids includes a source of liquid containing a gas, a source of vacuum, and the contactor.
摘要:
A process for severing a tube sheet made from a polymeric material to expose bores of hollow fibers having the ends thereof embedded in the tube sheet, with the tube sheet having a cylindrical configuration and a stress raiser extending around the periphery thereof, wherein a ring having a lower coefficient of expansion than the material of the tube sheet is positioned to encircle the tube sheet at a location adjacent to the stress raiser. The tube sheet is then heated to expand it to the point where stress causes the tube sheet to fracture off that portion of the tube sheet encircled by the ring from the remainder of the tube sheet to expose bores of the fibers.

Apparatus for separating one gas from a mixture of gases wherein a cylindrical shell having an enlarged end portion houses a bundle of hollow fiber membranes, the hollow fiber membranes extending through a polymeric tube sheet positioned in and secured to the enlarged end portion of the shell. A tubular distribution element secured to the tube sheet and extending into the cylindrical shell cooperates with the tube sheet and the enlarged end portion of the shell to form an annular chamber surrounding the distribution element. The distribution element is provided with a port positioned between the tube sheet and a gas inlet in the enlarged end portion of the shell, the port being positioned such that0.4.ltoreq./D.ltoreq.1.30.2.ltoreq.d/D.ltoreq.0.6where d is the distance from the tube sheet to the port; l is the distance from the tube sheet to the inlet opening and D is the diameter of the bundle of hollow fiber membranes.

An apparatus is disclosed for shaping the cross-section of a metal wire or metal ribbon product obtained by slitting metallic coil stock into multiple lengths of wire with an aspect ratio of 1 or ribbon having an aspect ratio of 2 or more. The product obtained from the slitting procedure is marred by the presence of a burr which impairs mechanical properties and consequently must be eliminated. In previous practice, this was achieved by feeding the slit product through the nip of a pair of mating, shaping rolls having a fixed engagement. However, problems arise from run to run when the rolls are in fixed engagement. For example, variations in the thickness of the material being processed presents difficulties with a fixed engagement.In the disclosed apparatus engagement is allowed to vary while the engagement force is held constant. In brief, this is accomplished by mounting the shaping rolls on separate support members with one of the support members being movable to permit the roll engagement to vary. A constant engagement force is maintained by the provision of a means for applying a constant downward force on the movable roll support member.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a thermoplastic, unibody transfer device. This transfer device includes a membrane, and a housing surrounding the membrane. The housing includes a thermoplastic end cap and a thermoplastic shell. The end cap and shell are butt welded together. Additionally, there is a method of manufacturing with the aforementioned device. The method includes forming a bundle of a membrane, inserting the bundle into a shell, butt welding an end cap to the bundle and the shell so that the cap, bundle, and shell are fused together.

An apparatus is disclosed for precision slitting of metallic coil stock into multiple continuous lengths of wire, wherein the resultant wire is characterized by a small cross-sectional area. The apparatus comprises means for guiding coil stock into a pair of revolving monolithic cutter rolls and means for collecting the slit wire. The rolls are positioned in engaging relationship and each roll contains a plurality of lands and grooves so that stock can be slit with an aspect ratio of less than five.

This invention provides spiral-wound hollow fiber membrane fabric-containing cartridges and modules for separations and other phase contact applications, in which the cartridges contain a turbulence-promoting fibrous web which is substantially-co-extensive to the fabric-like array, that induces turbulent fluid flow in the shell side of the hollow fiber membrane bundle; and methods for fabricating such cartridges.
摘要:
A fluid separation module to be mounted in a cylindrical shell and the method of mounting the same, the module including a bundle of hollow fiber membranes and a polymeric tube sheet, the tube sheet being positioned at one end of the bundle of hollow fiber membranes with the hollow fiber membranes extending through the tube sheet. A resilient sheet having the form of the slit tube surrounds the bundle of hollow fibers and is held in this configuration by a plurality of rings encircling the slit tube at spaced intervals thereon, the slit tube being secured to the tube sheet. The rings are moveably mounted on the slit tube in such a manner that, as the module is inserted in the shell, the rings can be manually slid to one end of the slit tube to allow the slit tube to expand into contact with the inner surface of the tubular shell and thereby allow the fiber bundle to open for improved flow of the fluid mixture through the bundle.
