Title: Gas condenser
Inventor: HALSE HELGE-RUBEN
IPC: F25J1/00
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: Gas condenser (2) arranged to condense gas/vapour (4) evaporating from a volatile liquid (6) being stored, for example, in a storage tank. The gas/vapour (4) is conducted into a gas chamber (16) provided with openings, possibly also nozzles (76), the gas chamber (16) being placed in a surrounding housing (36). Thereafter, the gas/vapour (4) is sucked into at least one venturi section (62, 64), wherein the liquid (6), for example, is flowing with a static underpressure relative to the inflowing gas/vapour (4). Via at least one expansion section (88, 90), a mixture (92) of gas/vapour (bubbles) (4) and liquid (6) flows onward to a condensing chamber (98), through which the static pressure of the liquid (6) increases and the gas/vapour (4) is condensed, after which the mixture (92) is conducted back to, for example, the storage tank. By means of one or several adjusting devices arranged to the gas condenser (2), the shape of the slot volume of the venturi section(s) (62, 64), possibly also the slot volume of expansion section(s) (80, 90), and thus the course of pressure through it/them, may be optimally adjusted/changed/adapted to the current operating condition and the current gas condensing need.

Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a slotted screen device (1;1',1") which is essentially made up of form-fit connections and which can be used e.g., for treating fibre suspensions in the paper industry. The inventive slotted screen device (1;1',1") comprises a plurality of rods (2), for example profiled rods, which are arranged so that they run parallel to each other using spacing elements (3;3';3"',"";13,13',13"'), in order to maintain a predetermined, variable distance determining the slot width of the slotted screen device (1;1',1"). The rods (2) and/or the spacing element (3;3';3''',3'''';13,13',13''') form a form-fit connection to a reinforcing element (4;4'), resulting in a connected version of a slotted screen device (1;1';1'') consisting of several components, resembling a modular system. The invention provides several forms of embodiment, especially of the spacing elements (3;3',3''';3'''';13,13',13''', which are configured as separate components, which can be preassembled, or which form a unit with the rods (2) or are even moulded onto the rods or which are moulded out of the base areas of the rods. By choosing the appropriate thickness of the spacing elements (3;3';3''';3'''';13,13',13'''), it is possible to define a variable distance between the rods (2) in order to determine the slot width. In this way, the user can assemble the slotted screen device (1;1';1'') that he requires modularly from several components and the device can be adapted according to customer wishes. Several spacing elements can also be optionally assembled to form a single spacer comb (20) or segments thereof.

Title: Estimation of transversal motion of the nmr tool during logging
Inventor: ITSKOVICH GREGORY B
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 2002-05-01
Abstract: NMR measurements made with a moving tool are affected by incomplete polarization of the nuclear spins in the region where the Larmor frequency of static field matches the RF signal frequency. Simulation results show that the in-phase and quadrature components of spin echo signals are affected by the velocity of lateral motion of a logging tool in a borehole. A phase drift indicator is obtained by summing the quadrature and in-phase components over a window and taking the ratio of the windowed sums. The phase drift indicator shows an increase with time. In a tool with a gradient magnetic field, the phase drift indicator increases with time even for no tool motion. The reduction in magnitude of spin echo data due to tool motion alone may be obtained by comparing the magnitude of simulated echoes with and without tool motion.
