  • Flow control apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5558494
    Abstract: A flow control apparatus receives air flow through a closure (A) for discharge through an orifice plate (B) carried at an air exit end opposite an opening in a wall, wherein a bellmouth air entrance member (C) receives air flow from the closure (A) and directs same to an evase (D) for reception thereby through an exit opening in the orifice plate for discharge through the exit opening in the wall.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 8, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 24, 1996
    Inventors: John E. Chambers, David C. Brenner
  • Fluid distribution panel and method
    Patent number: 5553417
    Abstract: A fluid distribution panel (A) is illustrated, especially for use in a growth chamber, utilizing a plurality of spaced conical surfaces (B) which taper outwardly from a plenum into an enlarged fluid discharge opening for controlling the distribution of air across the plenum with minimal pressure drop or variation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 10, 1996
    Inventor: John E. Chambers
  • Cartridge filter and method
    Patent number: 5393327
    Abstract: An air filter cartridge receives air flow through a side filter media (A) for discharge through an orifice plate (B) carried at an air exit end opposite an opening in a wall, wherein a bellmouth air entrance member (C) within the air filter cartridge receives air flow from the filter media (A) and directs same to an evase (D) for reception thereby through an exit opening in the orifice plate for discharge through the exit opening in the wall.

  • Method for disposing of gaseous monomer
    Patent number: 5122321
    Abstract: Method for removing gaseous monomer emitted during the manufacture of polymer fibers include collecting the gaseous monomer in a suction nozzle constructed of smooth polymeric material having low heat conductivity to avoid monomer buildup therein and delivering same upwardly through a water trap to a transport duct which is kept sufficiently wet to receive and remove monomer solids carried in the water which flows by gravity in the duct.

  • Liquid filtering apparatus
    Patent number: 4005018
    Abstract: A liquid filter immersed in a contaminated liquid, defines an open space therein receiving filtered liquid in a bottom portion thereof through a filter medium disposed thereabout, with power operated means for removing spent filter medium while fresh filter medium is supplied, and an outlet communicating with the filtered liquid maintaining a liquid level outside the frame higher than a liquid level within the frame for producing the filtering action.
