Patent number: 11260345Abstract: A desiccant wheel is provided to be rotatable. Through the body of the wheel or a surface adsorbent, water vapor in humid air flow is adsorbed. By passing a high-temperature air flow through the wheel, the body or surface coating is regenerated with moisture removed. Along a cross-section radial, the wheel is divided into different areas. The body has three-dimensionally inter-connected pores. The pores can be of different types. The wheel is a complete concentric cylinder or a concentric cylinder comprising equal or unequal sectors. The equal or unequal sectors are separated with each other. The wheel can rotate at a fixed speed for continually repeating a process of adsorbing, transiting, and regenerating. Thereby, drying can be carried out without causing physical or chemical change to heat-sensitive material, which also improves drying efficiency, reduces size, lowers power consumption, and helps in carbon reduction for industry.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy Council, Executive Yuan, R.O.C.Inventors: Heng Yi Li, Tsair-Fuh Huang, Sheng-Fu Yang, Po-Hsiu Kuo, Yu-Ren Chen, How-Ming Lee, To-Mei Wang

Patent number: 10570065Abstract: A method is provided to fabricate a green desiccant wheel. A green recycled adsorbent material of aluminum hydroxide and alumina is extracted and used as a base material to be added to a 3-dimensional (3D) network skeleton of a foam support. Through sintering, surface is hardened with the material adsorbed to megapores uniformly distributed. Thus, an adsorbent material of porous ceramic having pores on surface is made. The area contacting with moist air is increased. The moisture-adsorbing capacity is improved. At last, the whole procedure is integrated to develop a high-efficiency green desiccant wheel. Thus, the reusable materials are kept at innate grade or upgraded for recycling and regenerating. New materials and products can be further fabricated. The present invention helps solving environmental problem of wastes. Life cycle of resource is lengthened. A sample of recycling economy is innovated. Industrial efficiency is effectively enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUAN, R.O.C.Inventors: Sheng-Fu Yang, To-Mei Wang, Chi-Tzeng Hsu, Heng-Yi Li

Publication number: 20180080718Abstract: The heat pipe comprises a shell and an inner zeolite coated structure. The shell has an inner surface. The inner surface surrounds an enclosed chamber. The chamber is partially filled with a working fluid in a vacuum. The working fluid may be changed into a liquid phase or a gas phase by following temperature change. The coating material comprises a zeolite, a binder and an additive. The material is sintered on the inner surface of the heat pipe. Consequently, the zeolite coating is formed between the inner surface and the enclosed chamber. Thus, the present invention uses a porous material of zeolite with pore size smaller than grooves and meshes to have excellent evaporation heat transfer and capillary force. The zeolite coating of the present invention does not fail without air isolation. The present invention is inner manufactured under atmospheric condition so has no size limitation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2016Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Heng-Yi Li, Meng-Chang Tsai, To-Mei Wang

Publication number: 20160362355Abstract: An oil product of gasoline is fabricated. The product contains hydrocarbon compound ranged as a gasoline composition. The purification process of dimethyl ether (DME) used in the present invention greatly reduces the feed rate for obtaining a smaller reactor with cost down. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is separated to be recycled back to the gasifier to be reused, archived or used otherwise for improves global environment. At the same time, CO2 is reacted with hydrocarbons, water vapor, etc. through a novel high-temperature plasma torch to generate a synthesis gas (syngas) of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) for regulating a hydrogen/carbon ratio of a biomass- or hydrocarbon-synthesized compound and helping subsequent chemical synthesis reactions. In the end, the final gasoline production has a high yield, a high octane rate, low nitrogen and sulfur pollution and a highly ‘green’ quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2015Publication date: December 15, 2016Inventors: Kuo-Chao Liang, How-Ming Lee, Shiaw-Huei Chen, Feng-Mei Yeh, To-Mei Wang, Meng-Han Huang, Lieh-Chih Chang, Chin-Ching Tzeng

Patent number: 8540910Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making a refractory material from aluminum residues of aluminum recycling. At first, the aluminum residues is mixed with adhesive solution so that the percentage by weight of the adhesive solution is 5 wt % to 10 wt %. The mixture is granulated into grains. The grains are filled in a mold, pressed and then removed from the mold so that the grains are turned into a green body. The green body is heated in a furnace at a range of temperature from 1100° C. to 1400° C. so that the grains are sintered and become a refractory material.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Atomic Energy Council—Institute of Nuclear Energy ResearchInventors: Sheng-Fu Yang, Chun-Yen Yeh, Yen-Hua Chang, To-Mei Wang, Wen-Cheng Lee, Kin-Seng Sun, Chin-Ching Tzeng

Publication number: 20130049248Abstract: The present disclosure uses aluminum residues to fabricate artificial stones. The aluminum residues are obtained from a recycle process of aluminum scrap. The aluminum residues is made into dross and baghouse dust as raw materials for the artificial stones. The artificial stones thus made are improved in characteristics of mechanical strength, hardness, abrasion resistance, flame resistance and anti-oxidation. Hence, the present disclosure reduces impacts to the nature; obtains derived products from recycled aluminum residues; increases commercial income; decreases cost for handling aluminum residues; and saves the use of aluminum oxide, aluminium hydroxide or silicon oxide on making artificial stones. The artificial stones thus made are fit to be used in fields of green material, green construction and green industry.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL-INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCHInventors: Sheng-Fu Yang, Yen-Hua Chang, Chun-Yen Yeh, To-Mei Wang, Wen-Cheng Lee, Kin-Seng Sun, Chin-Ching Tzeng
