VAPORIZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18518582 titled 'VAPORIZER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vaporizer that uses a liquid heat medium and liquid hydrogen to produce vapor. The vaporizer includes a spiral tube for the flow of liquid hydrogen, a casing to house the spiral tube, and a spacer inside the spiral tube.
- The vaporizer utilizes a spiral tube design for the flow of liquid hydrogen.
- A casing houses the spiral tube and allows the heat medium to flow on the outer surface of the tube.
- A spacer is placed inside the spiral tube to assist in the vaporization process.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Cryogenic systems
- Energy storage systems
- Aerospace industry
Problems Solved
The technology addresses issues such as:
- Efficient vaporization of liquid hydrogen
- Controlled heat transfer processes
- Minimizing heat loss during vaporization
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Increased efficiency in vaporizing liquid hydrogen
- Improved heat transfer capabilities
- Reduced energy consumption
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include:
- Cryogenic storage facilities
- Hydrogen fueling stations
- Aerospace propulsion systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of traditional vaporizers in industrial processes for heating and cooling applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does the efficiency of this vaporizer compare to traditional methods?
The efficiency of this vaporizer in comparison to traditional methods is not explicitly stated in the abstract. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the efficiency gains.
What safety measures are in place to prevent accidents or leaks in the vaporization process?
The abstract does not mention specific safety measures incorporated into the design of the vaporizer. It would be important to understand the safety protocols in place to prevent accidents or leaks during the vaporization process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vaporizer, through which a liquid heat medium and liquid hydrogen flow, causing the heat medium to vaporize the liquid hydrogen, includes: a spiral tube, spirally wound, in which liquid hydrogen flows; a casing being a hollow long member housing the spiral tube thereinside, the heat medium flowing on an outer surface of the spiral tube; and a spacer being a long member disposed inside a winding inner diameter of the spiral tube.
