Definitions

  • Evaporative emissions from gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels are a significant source of air pollution because the various hydrocarbons contained in the fuels can form photochemical smog on exposure to sunlight. The compounds of this smog and the hydrocarbons themselves cause degrading health effects in humans and animals as well as environmental damage.
  • these emissions are usually controlled by attaching a sorbent canister to the fuel tank of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. While the engine is not running, the sorbent canister adsorbs excess hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel tank, Conversely, while the engine operates, the canister is purged with fresh air, which is then directed to the air intake of the engine so that the purged fuel vapors can be combusted by the engine.

  • the center core is fabricated from sorbent material or as a structure that would serve as a core with internal volume filled with sorbent material.
  • the advantage of this would be to increase the amount of adsorbent within the device, thereby increasing performance.
  • the central core could take the form of an open space, a hollow tube, a perforated hollow tube, or other structure used to define a space which holds additional sorbent material. The increase in sorbent material should result in even better performance.
  • the center core may include not only the sheets described above, but also the other forms of the sorbent material, such as the cut or shredded sheets, rope, yam, and the like.
  • Another improvement relates to improving flow between the spiral wound sheet or sheets. Winding of carbon sheets into spirals to form an adsorber was accomplished by controlling the tension of the winding process. Because the sheets are flexible and of low tensile strength, this sometimes leads to adsorbers where the spacing between the wound sheets was inconsistent, difficult to control or non-existent.
  • spacers for example in the form of woven or non-woven, netting or other fabric or incorporating particles into the sheet whose diameter is larger than the sheet thickness leads to higher tensile strength material with pre-defined spacing between wound layers.
  • the sheet could also be perforated to overcome issues with inconsistent winding spacing by providing a pathway between wound layers preventing blinding off of carbon and by-pass.
  • a biplanar spacer can be incorporated into the spiral wound adsorber during the winding process.
  • a separate biplanar spacer made from either a polymer, fabric, metal, carbon fiber or activated carbon fiber or combinations thereof would be wound with the carbon sheet to form the final assembly.
  • the spacer could be of different thicknesses to control the size and pressure drop across the adsorber.
  • the orientation of the spacer could be used to control the flow of the fluid in a path that is not necessarily the shortest distance increasing the fluid carbon contact time. This would also increase the tensile strength of the unit.
  • the spacer can be a non-woven porous material.
  • Non-woven porous materials could be incorporated into the wound structure that would allow uniform spacing with a controlled pressure drop. Tensile strength would also be improved.
  • a polymer or fibrous netting could be incorporated into the carbon sheet during the roll milling process.
  • the netting could be of various configurations and thicknesses depending on the desired properties of the final sheet. The goal is to increase the tensile strength of the material allowing for more reliable winding to maintain separation and ease of manufacture.
  • Some embodiments achieve similar results by incorporating perforated sheets.
  • the wound sorbent sheets could be perforated before winding so that imperfections in the winding process would be mitigated and provide for alternate pathways for fluid flow through the adsorber.
  • granular or pelleted activated carbon could be used as a spacer.
  • Activated carbon or some other rigid granular material, preferably a sorbent material, can be added to the carbon sheet either before or after milling to serve as the spacer and to add adsorptive capabilities.
  • any of these spacers could be used with stacked sheets as well as wound sheets with the same advantages. In either structure, the spacer creates uniform spacing. Texture such as corrugation or other surface features could also be employed to achieve the desired characteristics and flow.
  • the various components such as sorbent material sheets, spacers, woven and/or non-woven materials, perforated or non-perforated sheets, additional sorbent material, and other components may be rolled in alternating fashion, which is sometimes referred to as a “jelly roll” structure as the alternating components remain parallel with each other and spiral around a core in repeating bands.
  • This embodiment is most useful for embedding spacers or other pleated, textured, or corrugated components between sorbent sheets to precisely control the spacing in between the sheets and therefore pressure drop and performance.
  • the components may be co-nested within each other as tubes and not wound in a spiral.
  • the components can be layered as flat sheets or non-cylindrical shapes.
  • FIG. 1 shows the improvement of including sorbent within a central core of wound sorbent material sheets.
  • the wound sorbent material sheet 1 is depicted as including sorbent material sheet 2 which is wrapped around a central core of sorbent 3.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a wound sorbent material sheet 1 that includes sorbent material sheet 2, again wrapped around central core of sorbent 3.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 2 further includes a tube 4 or other similar structure that surrounds the sorbent 3.
  • the tube 4 may include perforations, tears, apertures, or other similar features (not shown) to permit at least some gas or vapor to pass between the sorbent contained in the central core and the sorbent sheet material in the outer portion.
  • FIG. 3 depicts a wound sorbent material sheet 1 that includes sorbent material sheet 2, and further includes a spacer 5 that is included to precisely control the spacing and therefore pressure drop and other performance characteristics of the wound sheets.
  • FIG. 4 depicts an additional embodiment, where stacked sorbent material sheet 6 includes several stacked sorbent material sheets 2. In between each pair of sorbent material sheets 2 is a spacer 5 that is used to precisely control the spacing and therefore pressure drop and other performance characteristics of the stacked sheets.
  • the sorbent material sheet product may be directly applied to a surface, e.g. an air intake manifold, or may be selectively cured at the outer sheets so that a durable, cured shell forms that acts as a support for the rolled or folded sorbent sheets.
  • a surface e.g. an air intake manifold
  • Such selective curing can be accomplished thermally or with a chemical bath, or via actinic radiation, such as ultraviolet light or by electron beam curing.
  • the sorbent material sheets may be contained within the space where capture is required, such as the air intake manifold, or associated pipe work, the sorbent material sheets may be attached to these parts in a variety of ways.
  • the sheets are heat staked into the desired position and location.
