  • Method and apparatus for treating a gas by adsorption in particular for purifying atomspheric air
    Publication number: 20060156922
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for treating a gas by adsorption. A gas is compressed and then treated by being circulated in an adsorber. A regenerating fluid is indirectly heated by the gas coming from the compressor.
    Type: Application

  • Method and apparatus for treating a gas by adsorption in particular for purifying atmospheric air
    Patent number: 6984258
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for treating a gas by adsorption. A gas is compressed and then treated by being circulated in an adsorber. A regenerating fluid is indirectly heated by the gas coming from the compressor. In a second regeneration phase, the regenerating fluid is sent directly to the adsorber, while the treated gas is refrigerated by an auxiliary refrigerator.

  • Method for making a heat exchanger with soldered plates and resulting heat exchanger
    Patent number: 6932264
    Abstract: A method for producing a plate heat exchanger with multiple plates made of a solderable material. The plated define circuits for fluid circulation and are assembled together by soldering. The soldering is done after a soldering material is applied to the regions to be soldered. The soldering material is deposited on the plates with an electrolytic solution.

  • Method for making a heat exchanger with soldered plates and resulting heat exchanger
    Publication number: 20040129412
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making a plate heat exchanger, comprising a plurality of plates made of a solderable material defining circuits for fluid circulation and assembled together by soldering, said soldering being carried out after depositing a soldering material on the zones to be soldered. Said soldering material is deposited using an electrolytic solution. The invention is applicable to evaporators/condensers of air separating appliances.
