Patent number: 12264745Abstract: This invention relates to a multi-outlet valve, and the valve includes a valve seat, a valve body, and an inlet connector. By the cooperation of the valve seat, the valve body, a fluid-tight anti-leakage effect of the valve core relative to the valve seat can be achieved. By the cooperation of the valve seat and the inlet connector, a twist of the inlet connector relative to a fluid pipe and adversely affecting the service life of the fluid pipe can be avoided during the process of connecting the fluid pipe so as to achieve good structural functionality and stability.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Inventor: Michael Chiang

Patent number: 10648752Abstract: A bypass system for a water heat exchanger is disclosed. The water heat exchanger has a water heat exchanger inlet attached to a feed valve and a water heat exchanger outlet attached to an exit valve. The feed valve and the exit valve are three-way bypass valves attached to a bypass line. When the feed valve and the exit valve are in the flow through position, fluid will flow into and out of the water heat exchanger. When the feed valve and the exit valve are in the bypass position, fluid will not enter nor exit the water heat exchanger, but fluid will flow through the bypass line.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Inventor: Michael Chiang

Patent number: 7560084Abstract: A system for separating sulfur dioxide from a gas using an aqueous absorption liquid. The system includes a housing, an apertured plate, an outlet box, a distribution mechanism, a container, and a pump. The housing has an inlet and an outlet. The apertured plate is positioned between the inlet and the outlet and includes a lower side, an upper side, and apertures fluidly connecting the lower and upper sides. The outlet box includes a distribution mechanism that is arranged so that the absorption liquid draining from the outlet box contacts the gas from the inlet before the gas passes through the apertures in the apertured plate. The container contains the absorption liquid and is fluidly connected with the housing. The pump draws the absorption liquid from the container through the pump and through a conduit to the upper side of the apertured plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Alstom Technology LtdInventors: Dennis J.
