20150183675 | ION TRANSPORT MEMBRANES IN FLOAT GLASS MANUFACTURING - An ion transport membrane, a heat exchanger, and a recuperator are integrated with a float glass manufacturing process. Only feeds of fuel and air are necessary for producing hot oxygen for a melting furnace and a nitrogen-enriched stream to a float bath. The oxygen and nitrogen are produced on-site without requiring cryogenic distillation. | 07-02-2015 |
20140182336 | ION TRANSPORT MEMBRANES IN FLOAT GLASS MANUFACTURING - Ion transport membranes are integrated with a glass melting furnace and a float glass bath. Only feeds of air, steam and hydrocarbon are necessary for producing hot oxygen for the melting furnace and a mixture of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen for the float glass bath. | 07-03-2014 |
20140026991 | Modular Element for Distributing Pressurized Gas and Corresponding Installation - A modular element for distributing pressurized gas comprising a housing containing at least one tank of pressurized gas, the at least one tank having an outlet orifice coupled, via a pressure reducing valve, to a gas distribution circuit, characterized in that the modular element includes a cover for the housing, the cover selectively closing an open face of the housing and forming a support for a first gas duct and a second gas duct forming at least part of the gas distribution circuit, the first gas duct having a first free extremity and a second free extremity each fitted with a fluid coupling member, the second gas duct having a first free extremity fitted with a fluid coupling member coupled in a selectively removable manner to an inlet receiving expanded gas from the reducing valve of the at least one tank and a second extremity coupled to the first duct, between the two extremities of said first duct. | 01-30-2014 |
20130263969 | Device and Method for Filling a Container with a Gas Under Pressure - The invention relates to a method and device for filling a tank with pressurized gas, comprising transfer of a predefined amount of a gas into the tank from at least one pressurized gas source via a filling duct, the gas being selectively cooled by a cooling component before it enters into the tank in order to prevent a defined temperature limit from being reached in the tank, characterized in that the method comprises a step of defining the maximum amount of energy that can be added to the tank without exceeding the temperature limit, this maximum amount of energy being expressed in the form of the maximum enthalpy that can be added to the tank, a step of defining the effective amount of energy that will be added to the tank during the transfer of gas into the tank without cooling, expressed in the form of an added enthalpy, cooling of the gas by the cooling component being controlled in order to remove selectively an amount of heat from the gas transferred into the tank corresponding at least to the fraction of the added enthalpy that exceeds the maximum enthalpy. | 10-10-2013 |
20130186904 | DEVICE FOR STORAGE OF COMPRESSED GAS, METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A container for storing compressed gas includes a plurality of aligned glass capillaries extending into a tubesheet. Each of the capillaries has an open end flush with a front face of the tubesheet. An end cap having a gas outlet connectable to a compressed gas valve or conduit is fitted to the tubesheet in gas-tight fashion to form a high pressure space defined by inner surfaces of the capillaries, the front face of the tubesheet, and inner surfaces of the end cap. | 07-25-2013 |
20130171536 | Fuel Cell - Fuel cell including several stacks of fuel cell elementary cells, at least part of the stacks being mounted in parallel and in a modular manner in order to allow the electric power level supplied by the cell to be adapted by adapting the number of stacks present in the cell, the cell including a cooling circuit including several legs in parallel for the selective cooling of said stacks by means of heat exchange, a heat-conveying liquid being selectively circulated in the cooling circuit via at least one pump, characterized in that the cooling circuit includes different pumps arranged respectively in several of said legs of the cooling circuit, | 07-04-2013 |
20130118406 | Method for Cold Plasma Treatment of Plastic Bottles and Device for Implementing Same - The present invention relates to a method for treating plastic bottles comprising an operation for cold plasma sterilization with non-germicidal gasses and/or an operation for the cold plasma deposition of a diffusion barrier layer, said method being characterized in that said cold plasma delivers adjustable nonthermal energy to the entire inside surface of the bottle, said cold plasma being generated either through a distributed propagation of microwaves having a maximum intensity in the vicinity of said surface or by a hollow cathode system adapted to the bottle and supplied with pulsed DC and/or RF voltage. The invention also relates to the devices for implementing the method. | 05-16-2013 |
