LEAK DETECTION AND/OR PREVENTION FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE THERMAL PROCESS SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937352 titled 'LEAK DETECTION AND/OR PREVENTION FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE THERMAL PROCESS SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a thermal process system with a retort assembly that contains process gases during a thermal process. The system includes a vessel housing, process gas inlet, sealing gas inlet, and leak gas detector.
- The retort assembly contains process gases in the retort chamber during a thermal process.
- The vessel housing maintains pressure or vacuum within the retort chamber.
- The process gas inlet receives process gases into the retort assembly.
- The sealing gas inlet receives sealing gas into the vessel housing.
- The leak gas detector detects the presence of leak gas, which is different from the process gases in the retort chamber.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industrial processes such as heat treatment, chemical reactions, and material processing.
Problems Solved
The system helps to prevent the escape of process gases during thermal processes, ensuring efficient and controlled reactions.
Benefits
- Improved process efficiency - Enhanced safety by containing process gases - Controlled environment for thermal processes
Potential Commercial Applications
"Industrial Thermal Process System for Controlled Reactions and Material Processing"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar thermal process systems used in industrial applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does the leak gas detector differentiate between process gases and leak gases?
The leak gas detector must be able to distinguish between the process gases used in the thermal process and any other gases that may leak into the system.
What measures are in place to ensure the sealing gas effectively maintains pressure or vacuum within the retort chamber?
It is important to understand the mechanisms and technologies used to ensure the sealing gas inlet functions properly to maintain the desired pressure or vacuum within the retort chamber.
Original Abstract Submitted
A thermal process system includes a retort assembly that includes a retort chamber, a heating assembly configured to heat the retort chamber, a vessel housing, a process gas inlet, and a sealing gas inlet. The retort assembly is configured to substantially contain one or more process gases in the retort chamber during a thermal process. The vessel housing is positioned around the retort chamber and configured to maintain a pressure or vacuum within the retort chamber. The process gas inlet is configured to receive the one or more process gases into the retort assembly. The sealing gas inlet is configured to receive a sealing gas into the vessel housing. The thermal process system may further include a leak gas detector configured to detect a presence of a leak gas, in which the leak gas includes a gas that is not the one or more process gases in the retort chamber.
