Systems and methods are contemplated for down-flow cooling of a feed gas. Contemplated systems can include a housing having an inlet conduit disposed within an upper portion and configured to receive a first stream. First and second stages can be disposed within the housing, with the first stage disposed upstream of the second stage and having a first cooling stream, and the second stage having a second cooling stream that is colder than the first cooling stream. The housing can be configured such that the first stream is cooled by down-flow heat exchange with the first and second cooling streams to produce a conditioned stream depleted of at least a portion of water condensed from the feed gas. |

Cryopump components are improved using thin layer heating elements for temperature control or to serve as heaters. These heating elements may be located and prevent pooling during regeneration. The temperature control may also be achieved through the use of ceramic heating elements. The ceramic heating elements may also include a second function of structural support within the cryopump. Temperature control may further be achieved via the radiation shield, where the radiation shield includes a clad sheeting or coating. |

A dry pump (10) has adjacent its inlet (12) and between the inlet and pump foreline (14) an apparatus for abating the back flow of organic molecules originating from a lubricant used to lubricate a drive mechanism of the pump. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a first compartment (18) having extending from its internal wall a plurality of cooling baffle plates (20). The cooling baffle plates are cooled by means of a water-cooling coil (22). Between the first compartment (18) and the foreline (14) is a second compartment 24 having extending from its internal wall a plurality of interleaved baffles (26). These baffles are coated on their surfaces with activated charcoal pellets for adsorbing halocarbon molecules back-streaming from the pump inlet. |

An apparatus and method for recovering one or more components from the vapor feed in which the component is recovered from the vapor feed at a lower pressure within a lower pressure cold trap. Thereafter, a higher pressure cold trap is connected to the lower pressure cold trap and the component revaporizes in the lower pressure cold trap and resolidifies in the higher pressure cold trap. The higher pressure cold trap is then isolated and the component is allowed to thaw to build up a vapor pressure such that the component can be delivered for recovery at a high pressure. Two or more components having higher and lower boiling points can be recovered by low pressure cold traps set in series. Low pressure cold traps can be provided to operate in an out of phase relationship so that components are frozen on one set of lower pressure cold traps while being vaporized from the other set of cold traps. In the case of two component recovery, two high pressure cold traps are provided to allow two components to vaporize and thus develop a sufficient vapor pressure to be delivered at the requisite delivery pressure. |

A trap body is removably attached in the housing inserted in that portion of the exhaust passage which is situated on the upstream side of a vacuum pump, and has cooling fins for cooling the tramp materials in the exhaust gas brought into contact with the cooling means, thereby liquefying the tramp materials. Therefore, the tramp materials, such as unaffected process gases, products of reaction, etc., contained in the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, are cooled and liquefied when they are touched by the trap body cooled by the cooling unit, and adhere to the surface of the trap body. Thus, the tramp materials in the exhaust gas can be removed lest they damage the vacuum pump on the downstream side or close up the exhaust passage. |

The invention relates to a novel refrigeration method and apparatus in which air is used as coolant and primary refrigerant. The air is subjected to substantially isothermal compression in a water-injected screw-type compressor, cooling in first and second scrubber columns operated by separate refrigerant circuits, and subsequent adiabatic substantially isentropic expansion in a high-speed turbine. Heat exchangers may be provided for the removal of residual coldness from the expanded air and for preheating the air fed to the compressor. |

A method and apparatus for separating a gaseous mixture of chemically identical but physically different molecules based on their polarities. The gaseous mixture of molecules is introduced in discrete quantities into the proximal end of a porous glass molecular. The molecular sieve is exposed to microwaves to excite the molecules to a higher energy state from a lower energy state, those having a higher dipole moment being excited more than those with a lower energy state. The temperature of the sieve kept cold by a flow of liquid nitrogen through a cooling jacket so that the heat generated by the molecules colliding with the material is transferred away from the material. The molecules thus alternate between a higher energy state and a lower one, with the portion of molecules having the higher dipole moment favored over the others. The former portion can then be extracted separately from the distal end of the molecular sieve. |

A cold trap for condensing and polymerizing residual vapor. The cold trap comprises a containment vessel which comprises a vertical sidewall defining a cylindrical inner surface of substantially constant diameter. Fluidly connected to the sidewall is a vapor inlet line which enters the containment vessel tangentially at a point near the top end thereof such that the vapor entering the containment vessel through the vapor inlet line will impinge against the inner surface of the sidewall and flow in a generally rotational pattern within the containment vessel. The cold trap further comprises a cooling member which is positioned within the containment vessel for facilitating the condensation and polymerization of the vapor. |

A compressed air system to deliver dry and clean air whereby the compressed air supplied by the air compressor is passed through a primary circuit of a heat exchanger and a liquid separator where it is cooled down close to the freezing point of the water so that the majority of the water vapor in the air will condense. The condensate as well as majority of the oil in the air is removed from the air stream with a centrifugal action inside the liquid separator which consists of a precooling chamber, cooling lines, conical centrifugal separator section, vertical center cavity and exit passage. The superheated air leaving the liquid separator unit can be dried further by passing the air through the freezer dryer units where its temperature is lowered below the freezing point of the water so that the remaining water forms into ice crystals and will get attached to the inside walls of the freezer dryer. The returning air from the liquid separator is guided through the secondary circuit of the heat exchanger before it enters the air reservoir tank. The remaining oil particles as well as rust and dust in the air stream can be removed with an oil filter unit placed downstream from the storage tank. |

A double cylinder shaped multilayer structural member comprising ring shaped thin plate small diameter discs and large diameter discs respectively layered via spacers is disposed in the enclosure vessel of a trap device for a vapor phase reaction apparatus. Gas from the intake opening section of the enclosure vessel is introduced into the outer side space of the multilayer structural member of the enclosure vessel, passes through the spaces between the large diameter discs and also passes through the spaces between the small diameter discs, then exits via the inner side space of the multilayer structural member from the outlet opening section of enclosure vessel to the system exterior. As a result of this construction, in comparison to conventional devices, the collection efficiency of reactive components can be increased, the equipment life extended, and maintenance frequency reduced, thereby providing a trap device for a vapor phase reaction apparatus capable of improving productivity. |
