Abstract: The present invention provides a device for separating and purifying the collagen Type 2 in chicken bones, comprising a liquid fluid container, a raw liquid container, a membrane separation tank, a mixing tube, two high pressure metering motors, a precooler, two preheaters, a temperature controller, two one-way valves, two inlet control valves and two outlet control valves. The liquid extract of defatted chicken bones discharged from the raw liquid container and the liquid CO2 discharged from the liquid fluid container can be mixed uniformly in the mixing tube, and then fed into the membrane separation tank. The membrane separation tank produces small-molecular-weight peptides and large-molecular-weight collagen Type 2 harmlessly and efficiently.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving seal performance in a centrifugal water pump for an internal combustion engine increase static pressure at the seal by incorporating a combination of slots and ribs into a seal cavity of the pump housing that are positioned to convert dynamic fluid pressure into static pressure at the seal while reducing coolant velocity at the seal. Vent holes in the impeller having an appropriate size and location may also be used to increase the static pressure at the seal to enhance seal performance.
