Patent CA-2357324-A1 (CA)
Title: Continuous feed coater
Inventor: CAMPBELL IAN H
IPC: C23C16/455
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: A continuous feed coater for coating a length of substrate with vaporized or sprayed material, is disclosed. A specific example is a roll-to-roll coater which includes two lower supply rollers for supporting two webs of uncoated material, and two upper take-up rollers for supporting the webs after they are coated, A central web-support forms a plenum that acts as a deposition chimney or chamber by bringing the two webs into close proximity to each other to form two large walls of the plenum. The ends of the webs are sealed using side dams to form the chimney with a rectangular cross section such that the vapor cannot exit from the edges of the material. The vaporized coating constituents to be deposited an the rolled material are directed into the deposition plenum from a coating material supply source located at the bottom of the plenum, and are exhausted through the top of the plenum. By providing a plenum having two large surface area walls formed of the material to be coated, an extremely efficient coating system is provided. The top of the plenum includes an exhaust system with an orifice plate with a plurality of orifices spaced across the width of the deposition plenum.  These orifices restrict gas exhaust to provide the gas and vapor residence time for the materials being used. By further controlling the orifices relative to each other, the differential pressure across the width of the chamber can be controlled to further provide an even coating across the width of the two webs of substrate material. Two different web-handling embodiments are disclosed as is a solid substrate system.

Title: Bypass air filter
Inventor: POIRIER BERTRAND
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: A bypass air filter is provided for attachment to the return air duct of an existing forced air conditioning system. The bypass air filter has a housing that defines a bypass air channel between an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening. The housing attaches directly to the return air duct so that the air inlet and outlet openings connect with complementary openings in the return air duct. This arrangement eliminates the need for bypass air ducting between the return air duct and the bypass air filter. The housing retains an air filter, which bisects the bypass air channel, and a fan for drawing air in through the air inlet opening through the air filter and out the air outlet opening. An upstream baffle extends from the housing into the upstream air flow through the return air duct to direct air into the air inlet opening. A downstream baffle extends from the housing away from the upstream air flow through the return air duct to draw air out of the air outlet opening. This arrangement increases the efficiency of the bypass air filter.
