Patents by Inventor Philippe Papillon

Philippe Papillon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Absorber with plate exchanger with porous distribution element
    Patent number: 9574803
    Abstract: The system comprises a plurality of first fluidic flow channels and a distribution device fed by a flow of a first fluid, notably a liquid, and injecting the flow of first fluid into the plurality of first channels at an output of the distribution device. The output of the distribution device consists of an distribution element for the first fluid, notably formed in a porous material, configured in such a way as to be passed through by the first fluid with a pressure drop such that the first fluid leaves from the distribution element with a uniform surface distribution at an output surface of the distribution element, in a way that ensures a uniform feed of first fluid for the first channels.
    Type: Grant

  • Reactive solid/heat-transport gas reactor including a helical duct in which the solid and the gas flow in opposite directions
    Patent number: 9513068
    Abstract: A solid/heat-transport and reactive gas reactor, including: a helical duct including an inlet and an outlet, the helical duct defining a helical bottom track on which a solid reagent can slide from the inlet to the outlet of the helical duct; a mechanism for bringing the solid reagent to the inlet of the helical duct; a mechanism for causing a heat-transport gas to flow in the helical duct, from the outlet to the inlet of the helical duct; a reservoir of solid reagent under the outlet of the helical duct; and a conveyor for conveying the reagent from a low point of the reservoir to the bringing mechanism.
