Title: Vacuum sealing flange

Abstract

Flange technologies are described for a flange comprising a first and second side. Each side may include a knife edge surface disposed circumferentially around a base surface and a periphery section disposed around the knife edge surface. The knife edge surface and the periphery section are effective to define grooves therebetween. The flange may include an alloy with a relatively high thermal conductivity and yield strength. The flange may include water channels to remove heat.

System for sealing flanged connections

Patent Baffes, Curtis M.

A flange sealing system can include a loading member layer adapted to receive a sealing force thereon, at least one intermediate member receiving the sealing force from the loading member and adapted to distribute the load force to branch members in subsequent layers, and at least one contact member adapted to apply the sealing force evenly around a flange and press a surface of the flange and against at least one of a second flange surface or a cap to seal an opening associated with the flange via at least one of connection to the second flange surface or themore » « less

Radial pressure flange seal

Patent Batzer, Thomas H [Livermore, CA]; Call, Wayne R [Tracy, CA]

This invention provides an all metal seal for vacuum or pressure vessels or systems. This invention does not use gaskets. The invention uses a flange which fits into a matching groove. Fluid pressure is applied in a chamber in the flange causing at least one of the flange walls to radially press against a side of the groove creating the seal between the flange wall and the groove side.

Fuel cell separator with compressible sealing flanges

Patent Mientek, Anthony P.

A separator for separating adjacent fuel cells in a stack of such cells includes a flat, rectangular, gas-impermeable plate disposed between adjacent cells and having two opposite side margins thereof folded back over one side of the plate to form two first seal flanges and having the other side margins thereof folded back over the opposite side of the plate to form two second seal flanges, each of the seal flanges cooperating with the plate to define a channel in which is disposed a resiliently compressible stack of thin metal sheets. The two first seal flanges cooperate with the electrolytemore » « less

Fuel cell separator plate with bellows-type sealing flanges

Patent Louis, George A.

A fuel cell separator includes a rectangular flat plate having two unitary upper sealing flanges respectively comprising opposite marginal edges of the plate folded upwardly and back on themselves and two lower sealing flanges respectively comprising the other two marginal edges of the plate folded downwardly and back on themselves. Each of the sealing flanges includes a flat wall spaced from the plate and substantially parallel thereto and two accordion-pleated side walls, one of which interconnects the flat wall with the plate and the other of which stops just short of the plate, these side walls affording resilient compressibility tomore » « less

High power, high frequency, vacuum flange

Patent Felker, Brian [Livermore, CA]; McDaniel, Michael R [Manteca, CA]

An improved waveguide flange is disclosed for high power operation that helps prevent arcs from being initiated at the junctions between waveguide sections. The flanges at the end of the waveguide sections have counterbores surrounding the waveguide tubes. When the sections are bolted together the counterbores form a groove that holds a fully annealed copper gasket. Each counterbore has a beveled step that is specially configured to insure the gasket forms a metal-to-metal vacuum seal without gaps or sharp edges. The resultant inner surface of the waveguide is smooth across the junctions between waveguide sections, and arcing is prevented.
