GAS INSULATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18553800 titled 'GAS INSULATION APPARATUS
The gas insulation apparatus described in the patent application consists of a tank with a flange, a lid, a bolt, and a sealing member containing two O-rings of different materials.
- The tank encloses an insulating gas containing oxygen, with the lid covering an opening in the tank.
- A bolt is used to fix the lid to the flange of the tank securely.
- The sealing member, sandwiched between the flange and the lid, includes a first O-ring made of fluorine-based rubber surrounding the opening and a second O-ring made of ethylene propylene diene-based rubber surrounding the first O-ring.
Potential Applications: - Gas insulation in various industrial applications - Electrical equipment insulation - HVAC systems
Problems Solved: - Ensures a tight seal to prevent gas leakage - Provides effective insulation in high oxygen environments
Benefits: - Enhanced safety in gas-insulated systems - Improved efficiency in electrical insulation - Long-lasting durability of the sealing components
Commercial Applications: Gas insulation technology can be utilized in industries such as power generation, manufacturing, and transportation for improved safety and efficiency.
Prior Art: No information provided on prior art related to this specific gas insulation apparatus.
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research on the development of advanced sealing materials for gas insulation applications.
Questions about Gas Insulation Apparatus:
Question 1: How does the use of two different types of rubber in the sealing member enhance the effectiveness of the gas insulation apparatus? Answer: The combination of fluorine-based rubber and ethylene propylene diene-based rubber provides a robust and durable seal that can withstand high oxygen environments.
Question 2: What are the key factors to consider when implementing this gas insulation technology in different industrial settings? Answer: Factors such as pressure levels, temperature variations, and compatibility with other materials in the system need to be carefully evaluated for successful implementation of the gas insulation apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A gas insulation apparatus includes: a tank that includes a flange surrounding an opening and in which an insulating gas containing oxygen is enclosed; a lid that covers the opening; a bolt that fixes the lid to the flange; and a sealing member that is sandwiched between the flange and the lid, in which the sealing member includes a first O-ring that surrounds an entire circumference of the opening, and a second O-ring that surrounds the first O-ring, the first O-ring is made of fluorine-based rubber, and the second O-ring is made of ethylene propylene diene-based rubber.
