Patent number: 7770873Abstract: A vapor-liquid contact tray apparatus having a tray with a fluid infeed section and a fluid travel section together with downcomer which is in fluid communication with the fluid travel section of the tray. A redirecting baffle is positioned at an inlet opening of the downcomer and push valves are provided in the fluid travel section of the tray. The push valves are preferably arranged in one or more zones of high concentration of push valves relative to one or more bubbling aperture zones with a lower concentration of push valves or no push valves. The redirecting baffle is provided in the downcomer and extends above the tray to capture fluid flowing horizontally off of the tray (e.g., exiting from a weirless or weir interface) and into a preferably concave upper portion of the redirecting baffle for controlling and redirecting the high momentum flow into and through the downcomer.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2004Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Sulzer Chemtech AGInventors: Mark W. Pilling, Markus Fischer, Giuseppe Mosca, Elena Tacchini

Patent number: 7708258Abstract: The tray has an infusion field of infusion tab valves adjacent the inlet to dissipate the momentum of the liquid flowing across said infusion field. Each valve includes a vertically upstanding wall of a height to obstruct the flow of liquid and the valves are disposed in a staggered array. An adjacent bubbling area has openings for the passage of an ascending flow of vapor into contact with the liquid/vapor mixture flowing across the area. Each infusion tab valve may also have a push valve incorporated therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Sulzer Chemtech AGInventors: Mark W. Pilling, Markus Fischer, Dale Edward Nutter

Patent number: 7690727Abstract: A motor vehicle seat back structure comprising a backrest support frame which consists of a surface turned towards the seat user's back, a lordosis support which is arranged on the front part of the backrest support frame for supporting the user's back and an adjusting device for vertically adjusting the lordosis support position with respect to the extension plane of said backrest support frame. The adjusting device comprises at least one adjusting element operably connected to the lordosis support and at least one sliding element which is displaceable with respect to said adjusting element and interacts therewith in such a way that when the sliding element moves, the adjusting element is displaced with a directional component perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the sliding element and performs an action on said lordosis support in the direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, CoburgInventors: Markus Fischer, Matthias Hoffmann, Andrea Bauersachs, Michael Forkel, Jochen Hofmann, Alwin Macht, Georg Scheck

Patent number: 7540477Abstract: The tray valve for a tray column includes an opening in a tray for a vapor passage and a valve body that is made to match the tray opening. The valve body consists of a top plate and vertically downwardly directed guide limbs arranged at the edge of the plate. The guide limbs have barbs for the anchoring of the valve body in the opening. The material and shape of the valve body are selected so that upon insertion of the valve body into the tray opening the top plate deforms in an arched manner while the guide limbs and barbs without deformation pass through the opening in a snap-fit manner. Weakened portions, in the form of grooves, slits or bores, can be provided in the top plate to facilitate upward arching of the top plate. Any deformation at the inserted valve body can be reversed, with the exception of a slight residual deformation, by an application of force onto the top plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Sulzer Chemtech AGInventors: Markus Fischer, Ireneusz Bobrowski, Vincenzo Curti, Emil Fehr
