    摘要: The present invention describes a passive membrane degasser device in which solid chunks of photographic materials (15) are pumped past a hydrophobic membrane (10). Air from in between the chunks is forced through the membrane by pump pressure including a screw auger (11) and a vacuum (12) on the outer side of the membrane. The solid chunks of photographic material (15) are then transferred to a liquefier where conventional ultrasonic deaeration is performed. This device causes no sensitometric problems and permits using a continuous liquefaction system without the use of a centrifugal vacuum degasser.

    摘要: The present invention describes a method and apparatus in which solid gelatin chunks are liquefied, tempered, and debubbled in a single operation. The debubbling step is accomplished by evacuating and sealing off the loaded solid reservoir and heat exchanger before initiating the liquefying step. After the vacuum is applied, the gelled chunks are pressed into the heat exchanger, where heat is applied to the gelled chunks of photographic material. This liquefies the gelled chunks of photographic material. When the liquefied product gives a positive pressure at the heat exchanger outlet, the liquefied product is allowed to flow from the heat exchanger. Liquefying and tempering are performed as the solid chunks are pushed through the heat exchanger by the reservoir piston.

    摘要: A pulsation dampening device designed for horizontal orientation with an internal geometry and a fluid inlet and outlet geometry which minimizes the potential for a preferred flow path thereby allowing for efficient purging of bubbles therefrom. The device includes a generally cylindrical housing containing at least one air chamber. An end cap is attached to the generally cylindrical housing with a diaphragm residing between the end cap and the generally cylindrical housing. The diaphragm normally resides in a generally vertical plane. There is a fluid chamber defined by the diaphragm and the internal surface of the end cap. A horizontally oriented fluid inlet port in the end cap is positioned proximate a bottom peripheral portion of the end cap with the fluid inlet port directed generally perpendicularly to the diaphragm. A fluid outlet port in the end cap is positioned proximate a top peripheral portion of the end cap, the fluid outlet port directed an angle .alpha. relative the diaphragm, the angle .alpha. ranging from about 110.degree. to about 180.degree..
