CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475254 titled 'CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The carbon dioxide removal apparatus described in the patent application is designed to reduce heat loss during the desorption process of carbon dioxide from an adsorbent. The apparatus includes a frame supporting an adsorption-desorption part, with a clearance provided between the frame and the adsorption-desorption part. An air guide with flexibility is placed in the clearance to help guide the air flow efficiently.
- Frame supporting adsorption-desorption part
- Clearance between frame and adsorption-desorption part
- Air guide with flexibility in the clearance
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industries where carbon dioxide capture and removal are necessary, such as power plants, manufacturing facilities, and carbon capture and storage projects.
Problems Solved
1. Heat loss during carbon dioxide desorption process 2. Inefficient air flow management in carbon dioxide removal systems
Benefits
1. Improved energy efficiency 2. Enhanced carbon capture capabilities 3. Reduced environmental impact from carbon dioxide emissions
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing carbon capture processes in power plants and industrial facilities to meet emission reduction targets and regulatory requirements.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of insulation materials or heat exchangers in carbon capture systems to reduce heat loss during desorption processes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the flexibility of the air guide contribute to the efficiency of the carbon dioxide removal process?
The flexibility of the air guide allows for better adaptation to changing air flow conditions, ensuring optimal performance of the carbon dioxide removal apparatus.
What materials are typically used in the construction of the frame and adsorption-desorption part in similar carbon dioxide removal systems?
The materials used in the construction of the frame and adsorption-desorption part can vary depending on factors such as cost, durability, and compatibility with the adsorbent material. Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and various polymers.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a carbon dioxide removal apparatus capable of reducing heat loss that can be caused when carbon dioxide is desorbed from an adsorbent. The carbon dioxide removal apparatus includes a frame, and an adsorption-desorption part supported by the frame. A clearance is provided between the frame and the adsorption-desorption part, and an air guide having flexibility is provided in the clearance.
