Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning air filters utilizes a pressurized fluid flow, preferably air, to rotate a set of air spraying jets inside a hollow interior of a filter in order to remove particles from the filter. To ensure proper positioning of the jets in relation to the filter the present invention uses a set of plates with slots and pins, wherein the pins secure the apparatus on one end of the filter. The set of plates also at least partially blocks the flow of air out of the ends to more efficiently direct the flow of air from the jets to the filter. The jets then may be moved reciprocated along the length of the filter for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: A method for recovering subsurface hydrocarbons, including heavy oil or bitumen, wherein a downhole steam injection phase is followed by application of heat to the near- wellbore region of the reservoir, heat being applied only during periods without steam injection. The heat application can be achieved by any number of techniques including electrical heaters, radio frequency waves, electromagnetic waves and microwaves. Numerous advantages are possible by withholding heat application during the steam injection phase. While preferred for use with cyclic steam stimulation recovery techniques, the method can be applied with other steam-based recovery techniques.

Title: Dry gas seal for supercritical co2 pump-high pressure buffer
Inventor: DEL VESCOVO CARLO
IPC: F01D11/06
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for assuring a safe working condition of a dry gas seal when a pump/compressor is in a standstill condition. A small booster compressor 426 is added to boost the pressure of an intermediate buffer gas injected into the chamber between a primary seal 404 and a secondary seal 406 of the dry gas seal 400. Control components detect when the barrier gas pressure drops below a preconfigured value and when detected, closes a valve in a line to a flare safe area and turns on the compressor 426. The boosted intermediate buffer gas, Nitrogen or dry air, slows the flow of untreated process gas through the primary seal of the dry gas seal and prevents icing of the primary seal.
