  • Publication number: 20160308490
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for controlling a sample temperature during photoelectric measurement of the sample. The device for controlling a sample temperature during photoelectric measurement of the sample includes: a sample stage to which a measurement target sample is fixed; a cooling unit for cooling the sample by injecting air; and a temperature measuring unit having a thermometer that measures a temperature of the sample. The device has an effect of easily controlling the temperature of a measurement target sample by employing a direct control method for a sample temperature, in which air or cooled air is injected to the sample.

  • Patent number: 8298319
    Abstract: Disclosed are a pressure swing adsorption apparatus for hydrogen purification and a hydrogen purification method using the same. The pressure swing adsorption apparatus for hydrogen purification includes a plurality of adsorption columns connected with a feed supply pipe, a hydrogen storage tank for collecting purified hydrogen from the adsorption columns, and valves for opening or closing a plurality of pipes connected to the respective adsorption columns, and the adsorption columns are packed with adsorbent beds of active alumina or silica gel, activated carbon, zeolite 13X, zeolite 5A, and a carbon monoxide-selective adsorbent other than the zeolite 5A, in order to remove carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide from a hydrogen-containing gas mixture supplied through the feed supply pipe, and the content of carbon monoxide in the discharged hydrogen is minimized through sequential adsorption on the adsorbents in the adsorption columns.

  • Patent number: 7356998
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a flash tank of a two-stage compression heat pump system that can perform cooling and heating with a separate type intercooler and a high-stage compressor protecting device. The system comprises a fluid-level detecting sensor for detecting the fluid-level of the refrigerant, an alarm sensor for notifying the saturated state of the refrigerant filled in the flash tank, an evaporator pressure sensor for measuring and notifying the pressure of the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator, a condenser pressure sensor for measuring and notifying the pressure of the refrigerant flowing out of the condenser, a flash tank fluid-level controller for receiving signals from the above sensors and controlling intermediate pressure and the fluid-level of the flash tank, and a bypass valve controller for controlling a bypass valve that receives signals from the alarm sensor and allowing a refrigerant to directly flow from the low-stage compressor to the high-stage compressor.
