    摘要: A gas sensor includes a housing having disposed therein a membrane electrode assembly comprising a sensing electrode, a counter electrode, and a polymer membrane disposed between the sensing electrode and the counter electrode. The polymer membrane comprises an ionic liquid retained therein. The sensor also includes a catalyst support that can be stable in a range of potentials to allow for detection mode and catalyst regeneration mode to be operative. The sensor further includes a circuitry and algorithm to implement the catalyst regeneration mechanism electrochemically. The sensor further includes a chamber for reference gas to which the counter electrode is exposed, and a chamber for test gas to which a gas to be tested is exposed. The sensor also includes a pathway for test gas to enter the chamber and a measured electrical circuit connecting the sensing electrode and the counter electrode.

    摘要: A method for fractionating a fuel includes heating the fuel and flowing it through hollow superhydrophobic membranes in a membrane module. Vapor from the fuel permeates the hydrophobic membranes and enters a distillate collection chamber, producing distilled fuel and residual fuel. The residual fuel is removed from the module and cooled. The cooled residual fuel is flowed through hollow tubes in the module and the distilled fuel is removed from the distillate collection chamber. Burning the distilled fuel reduces engine emissions. A fuel fractionation system includes a distillate collection chamber, hollow superhydrophobic membranes, hollow tubes and a distillate outlet. The hollow superhydrophobic membranes receive heated fuel and allow vapor from the heated fuel to permeate the membranes and enter the distillate collection chamber. The hollow tubes receive cooled residual fuel and are positioned to allow vapor in the distillate collection chamber to condense on outer surfaces of the hollow tubes.

    摘要: A gravity-driven pumping unit has an inlet valve connected to a condenser, an outlet valve connected to a boiler, and a staging zone between the inlet and outlet valves. The inlet valve, the outlet valve, the liquid line and entire path established between the condenser and boiler are oriented, sized and shaped to allow for the vapor refrigerant to freely move upward from the boiler to the condenser and to allow for the liquid refrigerant to freely drain downwards from the condenser to the boiler by gravity. A control system opens and closes the inlet and outlet valves in a proper sequence, which enables gravity-driven movement of liquid refrigerant from the condenser to the staging zone and then from the staging zone to the boiler, against a positive pressure differential between the boiler and condenser.
