The thermal expansion and contraction of the second annular column wall in a radial direction and in an axial direction is independent of the thermal expansion and contraction of the first annular column wall in the radial and axial directions. | 2020-05-14 |
20200149810 | ANNULAR DIVIDED WALL COLUMN WITH RING SHAPED COLLECTORS AND DISTRIBUTERS - An annular divided wall column for the cryogenic rectification of air or constituents of air is provided. The annular divided wall column includes a first annular column wall and a second annular column wall disposed within the first annular column wall to define an annulus column region and an interior core column region. The present annular divided wall column further includes structured packing elements disposed within at least the annulus column region as well as a ring-shaped cantilevered collector; and a ring-shaped distributor disposed in the annulus column region above or below the plurality of structured packing elements. The thermal expansion and contraction of the second annular column wall in a radial direction and in an axial direction is independent of the thermal expansion and contraction of the first annular column wall in the radial and axial directions. | 2020-05-14 |
20200149811 | DYNAMIC STATE CONFIGURATION FOR PADDLE PROCESSOR - Provided is a paddle processor and a method for processing material within the paddle processor. In one example, the paddle processor may include a trough comprising an inlet to receive a feed of material and an outlet for exiting the material after processing, rotational paddles disposed in the trough and configured to rotate about each other to move the material from the inlet to the outlet, an overflow weir disposed in association with the outlet and having a dynamically adjustable height for controlling a rate at which the material exits the trough, and a control system configured to dynamically adjust the height of the overflow weir and/or other dryer parameters based on a temperature of the material within the trough. | 2020-05-14 |
20200149812 | APPLIANCE FOR DRYING ARTICLES - An RF laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, an RF applicator having a perforated body and anode and cathode elements, a fan arranged relative to the perforated body to flow or draw air through the perforated body and an electromagnetic shield protecting the fan from the e-field. Both anode and cathode elements are operably coupled to the RF generator to generate an e-field between the anode and cathode upon the energizing of the RF generator. | 2020-05-14 |
