Patent number: 10828588Abstract: The invention relates to a gas liquid separator, for separating liquid droplets from a gas flowing generally in a main gas flow direction through the gas liquid separator. The gas liquid separator comprises a plurality of plates, mutually parallel and spaced apart to form a flow channel there between. Each plate having a plurality of corrugations wherein at least one of the corrugations has an extrados wing profile shaped camber.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventor: Loris Padovan

Patent number: 10765981Abstract: Moisture separator configuration for separating water droplets from steam of a flow having a mixture of steam and water droplets, such that the cited flow travels through the moisture separator configuration so that this separation is achieved. The moisture separator configuration includes a plurality of plates oriented in line with the flow. The plurality of plates form channels through which the flow travels. The channels have progressive cross section variation along the flow direction, in order to collect progressively the water droplets separated from the steam in the flow.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Loris Padovan, Alessandro Sgambati

Patent number: 10519592Abstract: A laundry drying appliance (100) includes a cabinet (110) having a top (119), a rotating drum (105) accommodated within a tub (303) housed in the cabinet, and a laundry drying air circulation system for circulating drying air. The drying air circulation system includes a drying air return duct (305) through which drying air coming from drum flows. The drying air return duct has an outlet (310), and a drying air delivery duct (205,215) through which the drying air is sent back to the drum. The drying air delivery duct has an inlet (210). The top forms a ready-to-mount moisture condensing module ready to be mounted to the cabinet for dehydrating drying air used to dry laundry within the drying drum of the laundry drying appliance.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Maurizio Del Pos, Alberto Bison, Massimiliano Vignocchi, Loris Padovan
