  • Patent number: 10012445
    Abstract: A vapor chamber and heat pipe combined structure includes a vapor chamber, a first capillary tissue, a heat pipe, and a working fluid. The vapor chamber includes an upper metal casing, a lower metal casing, a containing chamber between the upper and lower metal casings, a riser at the lower metal casing, and a through hole communicated with the containing chamber. The first capillary tissue is installed in the containing chamber and has a receiving hole corresponsive to the through hole. The heat pipe includes a pipe body and a second capillary tissue installed in the pipe body and extended out of the pipe body to form an exposed section. The heat pipe is connected to the through hole and the receiving hole, so that the exposed section is attached to the receiving hole of the first capillary tissue. The working fluid is filled into the containing chamber.

  • Patent number: 9562693
    Abstract: An apparatus having a substantially air-sealed, transparent, front through which a flame within the firebox may be viewed. The apparatus may include a burner configured to hold and burn a liquid fuel and positioned so as to cause a flame from the burning, fuel to appear within the firebox. The liquid fuel may be ethanol. The apparatus may include an igniter that has a user-operated igniter control that may be operated by a user from outside of the firebox that, upon operation, causes the liquid fuel within the burner to be ignited. The apparatus may include an extinguisher that has a user-operated extinguisher control that may be operated by a user from outside of the firebox that, upon operation, causes the flame to be extinguished. The apparatus may include a fuel inlet located outside of the firebox, and a fuel channel between the fuel inlet and the burner. A fuel tank may also be provided.

  • Patent number: 8622053
    Abstract: A liquid fuel-fired furnace installation is composed of at least one fuel tank (1), a fuel evaporation plate (2), a fuel vapor distribution plate (3) and a valve cutting-off the vapor flow, whereas the fuel tank (1) is connected with an evaporation plate (2) via a conduit (7), and the evaporation plate (2) is equipped with a vapor outlet (8) connected with a cut-off valve (4) and a vapor distribution plate (3) is connected with an inlet stub pipe (11), and in its upper part the plate has holes (12) though which the fuel vapors are exhausted. The installation is characterized by having fuel (P) delivered gravitationally via the conduit (7) into the evaporation plate (2) according to the connected vessels rule, which assures that an aerial layer is left over the fuel table (13).

  • Patent number: 7490580
    Abstract: A vaporizer generates vapor by vaporizing a liquid. In particular, a vaporizer generates fuel vapor that is used for reforming fuel by vaporizing a liquid fuel that contains a hydrocarbon. This vaporizer includes a heating gas direct movement flow path along which a heating gas flows by moving directly in a horizontal direction; vaporization flow paths that are positioned such that they can exchange heat with the heating gas direct movement flow path, and that vaporizes liquid fuel; a fuel supply pipe that supplies the liquid fuel to the vaporization flow paths; and a vapor flow path that is positioned in an upstream portion on the heating gas direct movement flow path from the vaporization flow paths and that heat fuel vapor that is discharged from the vaporization flow paths.

  • Patent number: 6604492
    Abstract: A vaporizer is provided for delivering vapor streams such as high purity streams to a processing destination, such as a wafer processing chamber. The vaporizer includes a heated base having one or more seamless slots formed in one of its faces for carrying a liquid which is vaporized by heat from the heated plate. In one embodiment, the vaporizer includes an atomizer for atomizing the liquid prior to vaporization to reduce the temperature of vaporization. In one embodiment, the vaporizer includes a heat exchanger having cross-slots intersecting a plurality of seamless slots to reduce unvaporized liquid from exiting the vaporizer.

  • Patent number: 6578830
    Abstract: A gas-fired humidifier includes a heat exchanger with a plurality of generally upwardly extending tubes. These are connected at their lower ends to a source of water and at their upper ends to a steam header. A gas-fired burner is arranged to direct heat to the exterior of the tubes so as to cause water therein to boil and form steam in the steam header.

  • Publication number: 20020007803
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling boiling condition of hot H3PO4 solution by adjusting the vapor extracting rate thereof, wherein an acid tank filled with hot H3PO4 solution to a level surface is located in a treatment room and a temperature thermocouple is arranged above the level surface of the hot H3PO4 solution to monitor the vapor temperature near the level surface of the H3PO4 solution. The vapor temperature is used to adjust the extracting rate of the treatment room by control of a damper connected to an outlet of the treatment room. According to the present invention, the treatment apparatus and method can control the boiling condition of the hot H3PO4 solution thereof by properly adjusting the extracting rate, and therefore avoid defects and loss of control in manufacturing processes.
