Publication number: 20140373489Abstract: A modular design for large pulse jet fabric filters (PJFF) is divided into similar compartments, which are each “shop-fabricated” in quarter sections prior to delivery to the power plant site. The quarter sections of the compartments are modular and sized so that they can be fabricated at a shop located away from the power plant site and transported by truck over public roads to the power plant site. Once delivered to the site, the quarter sections are bolted together and seal welded to form a PJFF compartment, without requiring additional internal fabrication or welding. The assembled compartment is then lifted onto the support structure as an assembled unit and bolted and/or welded in place. The additional components of the PJFF may also be shop-fabricated offsite to further the benefits of the modular design.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Gregory J.

Publication number: 20140373490Abstract: A cyclone separator has a cyclone arrangement with individual cyclones each provided with a cell tube and guide device. The guide device causes a gas stream passing through the cell tube to rotate. At least one particle discharge is positioned perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the cyclone separator and discharges separated particles that have been separated from the gas stream in the cyclone arrangement. The cell tubes, for a targeted discharge of the separated particles, each have at least one particle outlet opening that is facing the particle discharge. The particle outlet openings of at least some of the individual cyclones, neighboring each other in the direction of a first perpendicular line that is perpendicular relative to the longitudinal axis of the cyclone separator, are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cyclone separator.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2013Publication date: December 25, 2014Applicant: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Martin Wuebbeling, Manfred Winter

Publication number: 20140373491Abstract: Provided is a filter that filters air flowing from the filter to a downstream component, while preventing fluid from flowing from the filter to the downstream component and preventing a substance, such as urea or fuel, entering the filter from the downstream component from degrading the filter element in the filter. The filter includes a filter element having an interior surface defining an inner chamber and a standpipe extending through the inner chamber and terminating at a point that allows air that flows from outside the filter element through the filter element and into the inner chamber to flow into the standpipe and out of the filter, while preventing fluid flowing from the opposite direction through the standpipe from entering the filter element.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Randy Harbur, John K. Nichols, Jon Wake, Daniel Copley, James Manley

Publication number: 20140373492Abstract: A dynamic particle separator is described for cyclone separation of sand from a gas stream in connection with petroleum related production of oil and gas, where the separator comprises a housing (14) containing as cyclone tank (4) that is equipped with an upper inlet opening (1) for the gas stream and an upper and a lower outlet opening (2,12) for export of gas and particles, respectively, from the tank (4).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2013Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventor: Anders Mathias Arefjord
