Method and apparatus for heat extraction by controlled spray cooling

Patent Edwards, Christopher Francis [5492 Lenore Ave., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; Meeks, Ellen [304 Daisyfield Dr., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; Kee, Robert [864 Lucille St., Livermore, Alameda County, CA 94550]; ...

Two solutions to the problem of cooling a high temperature, high heat flux surface using controlled spray cooling are presented for use on a mandrel. In the first embodiment, spray cooling is used to provide a varying isothermal boundary layer on the side portions of a mandrel by providing that the spray can be moved axially along the mandrel. In the second embodiment, a spray of coolant is directed to the lower temperature surface of the mandrel. By taking advantage of super-Leidenfrost cooling, the temperature of the high temperature surface of the mandrel can be controlled by varying the massmore » « less

Systems and methods for coating conduit interior surfaces utilizing a thermal spray gun with extension arm

Patent Moore, Karen A.; Zatorski, Raymond A.

Systems and methods for applying a coating to an interior surface of a conduit. In one embodiment, a spray gun configured to apply a coating is attached to an extension arm which may be inserted into the bore of a pipe. The spray gun may be a thermal spray gun adapted to apply a powder coating. An evacuation system may be used to provide a volume area of reduced air pressure for drawing overspray out of the pipe interior during coating. The extension arm as well as the spray gun may be cooled to maintain a consistent temperature in themore » « less

Systems and methods for application of stress corrosion cracking resistant cold spray coatings

Patent Johnson, Kyle William; Beard, Jamie Walter; Jasthi, Bhaarat Kumar

Systems and methods for application of stress corrosion cracking resistant cold spray coatings include a method of forming a partial coating on a canister having a perimeter wall with a surface. The method may include identifying a compromised region on the surface of the wall of the canister, and impacting a substantially linear flow of particles of a powder against an area in the compromised region of the surface in a manner effective to cause the particles of the powder to bond to the surface of the wall to produce a coating on the area of the compromised region.

Systems and methods lattice spray substrates for mass spectrometry

Patent Prieto Conaway, Maria C.; Deotte, Joshua R.; Dudukovic, Nikola; ...

The present disclosure relates to a lattice substrate adapted for use in direct ionization mass spectrometry. The substrate may have a plurality of tessellated unit cells forming an integral structure. Each tessellated unit cell may have a dimension of no more than about 1.5 mm and may include a plurality of pores arranged in an ordered pattern. The substrate may further include a form factor suitable for use with a direct ionization mass spectrometry system.

System for cooling hybrid vehicle electronics, method for cooling hybrid vehicle electronics

Patent France, David M.; Yu, Wenhua; Singh, Dileep; ...

The invention provides a single radiator cooling system for use in hybrid electric vehicles, the system comprising a surface in thermal communication with electronics, and subcooled boiling fluid contacting the surface. The invention also provides a single radiator method for simultaneously cooling electronics and an internal combustion engine in a hybrid electric vehicle, the method comprising separating a coolant fluid into a first portion and a second portion; directing the first portion to the electronics and the second portion to the internal combustion engine for a time sufficient to maintain the temperature of the electronics at or below 175.degree.
