Disclosed are various turbulent, corrosion-resistant heat exchangers used in desiccant air conditioning systems.

Methods and systems for turbulent, corrosion resistant heat exchangers

A three-way heat exchanger for a liquid desiccant air-conditioning system and method of manufacture. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of panel assemblies. Each panel assembly has a frame bordering a given space. The frame includes desiccant inlet and outlet ports and heat transfer fluid inlet and outlet ports. Two plates joined to the frame define a heat transfer fluid channel in the given space. The heat transfer fluid inlet and outlet ports are in fluid communication with the heat transfer fluid channel. Microporous sheets cover the outer surfaces of the plates and define a desiccant channel. The desiccant inlet and outlet ports are in fluid communication with the desiccant channel. The plurality of panel assemblies have a stacked arrangement such that a microporous sheet on one panel assembly faces a microporous sheet on an adjacent panel assembly and defines an airflow channel therebetween.

Three-way heat exchangers for liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems and methods of manufacture

A liquid desiccant air conditioning system includes one or more liquid desiccant tanks.

A liquid desiccant air-conditioning system provides a uniform liquid desiccant flow distribution and wetting out of membranes used in the membrane-modules of the system.

Methods and apparatus for uniform distribution of liquid desiccant in membrane modules in liquid desiccant air-conditioning systems

A desiccant air conditioning system for treating an air stream entering a building space, including a conditioner configured to expose the air stream to a liquid desiccant such that the liquid desiccant dehumidifies the air stream in the warm weather operation mode and humidifies the air stream in the cold weather operation mode. The conditioner includes multiple plate structures arranged in a vertical orientation and spaced apart to permit the air stream to flow between the plate structures. Each plate structure includes a passage through which a heat transfer fluid can flow. Each plate structure also has at least one surface across which the liquid desiccant can flow. The system includes a regenerator connected to the conditioner for causing the liquid desiccant to desorb water in the warm weather operation mode and to absorb water in the cold weather operation mode from a return air stream.

Two or more coatings applied to processing elements of a plasma processing system are treated with protective barriers or coatings. A method is described for adjoining two or more coatings on the processing element. Having applied a first protective barrier, a portion of the first protective barrier is treated. A second protective barrier is then applied over at least a portion of a region to which the first protective barrier was applied.

Method for adjoining adjacent coatings on a processing element

In order to mitigate erosion of exposed processing elements in a processing system by the process and any subsequent contamination of the substrate in the processing system, processing elements exposed to the process are coated with a protective barrier. The protective barrier comprises a protective layer that is resistant to erosion by the plasma, and a bonding layer that improves the adhesion of the protective layer to the processing element to mitigate possible process contamination by failure of the protective layer.

A bridge surface preparation, maintenance and painting system has a truck-mounted man lift with an extensible platform on which robot arms and cameras are mounted. Inflatable bags isolate the area of the bridge being worked on, and an apron catches debris such as from sand blasting. An operator sits at a remote control console on a truck, directs the man lift platform into position, controls the inflating of the barriers and operates and guides the robot arms through master-slave controls while watching video displays. The machine is used for surface preparation, undercoating, finish coat painting and bridge inspections.
