Abstract: A windshield washer fluid heater for an automotive vehicle has an elongated housing with two open ends and in which the housing defines a housing chamber. A tubular subhousing divides the housing chamber into an outer housing chamber and an inner housing chamber. A core is disposed in the inner housing chamber and this core forms an annular chamber between the core and the subhousing. A pair of end caps is attached to the ends of the housing and these end caps sealingly engage the housing and the subchamber to fluidly separate the outer housing chamber from the annular chamber. The housing includes a washer fluid passageway which fluidly connects a washer fluid port on the end cap with the annular chamber as well as a coolant fluid passageway which fluidly connects a coolant port on each end cap with the housing chamber.

Abstract: A cyclic, vapor-phase, pressure swing process for the separation of n-paraffins from a mixture with non-straight chain hydrocarbons comprises the steps of adsorption purge and desorption. Purge effluent is recycled through a bed of a 5 A molecular sieve in an adsorption stage and an effluent of reduced n-paraffin content is recovered. The bed is purged to remove surface adsorbed and interstitial matter by reducing the pressure in the bed by direct contact condensation with fresh feed introduced at or near ambient temperature. A purge effluent is recovered for recycle to stage (1). The bed is then desorbed to recover n-paraffins by further reducing the pressure in the bed.
