  • Patent number: 9983080
    Abstract: A high-temperature gas pressure measuring method includes a pressure measuring gas housing dividing step for dividing a pressure measuring gas housing into a pressure measuring room and a pressure referring room by a metal diaphragm; a gas introducing step for introducing high temperature gas into the pressure measuring room and introducing a reference pressure gas into the pressure referring room; a displacement measuring step for measuring a displacement of the metal diaphragm, wherein the displacement is caused by pressure difference between the two rooms in pressure measuring gas housing; and a pressure determining step for measuring the pressure of a high-temperature and/or corrosive to-measure pressure gas. The method dispenses with any corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant pressure sensing component and thus cuts costs.

  • Publication number: 20180127875
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a selenization and sulfurization process on a glass substrate is introduced. A low-cost, non-toxic selenization and sulfurization process is performed on a large-area glass substrate in a normal-pressure environment with the apparatus to turn element selenium or sulfur into small molecules of high activity at high temperature by pyrolysis or by plasma, especially linear atmospheric pressure plasma. The process is finalized by dispersing the selenium or sulfur molecules uniformly and allowing the glass substrate to undergo reciprocating motion precisely, thereby achieving large-area, uniform selenization and sulfurization of the one-piece glass substrate.

  • Publication number: 20170155005
    Abstract: A selenization/sulfurization process apparatus for use with a single-piece glass substrate is characterized by two chambers for heating up a glass substrate quickly and performing selenization/sulfurization on the glass substrate to not only prevent the glass substrate from staying at a soaking temperature of a softening point for a long period of time but also increase the thin-film selenization/sulfurization temperature according to the needs of the process to thereby reduce the duration of soaking selenization/sulfurization, save energy, and save time. The glass substrate undergoes reciprocating motion in the chambers to not only attain uniform temperature throughout the glass substrate but also distribute a selenization/sulfurization gas across the glass substrate uniformly during the selenization/sulfurization operation. The recycled liquid selenium/sulfur and inert gas are reusable to thereby reduce material costs.
