115 results about "Triple point" patented technology

In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is that temperature and pressure at which the sublimation curve, fusion curve and the vaporisation curve meet. For example, the triple point of mercury occurs at a temperature of −38.83440 °C and a pressure of 0.2 mPa.

Cryotreatment device and method

Devices and methods for cooling vessel walls to inhibit restenosis in conjunction with medical procedures such as coronary artery angioplasty. Stenosed vessel walls can be cooled prior to angioplasty, after angioplasty, or both. The invention is believed to inhibit restenosis through cooling to a temperature near freezing, preferably without causing substantial vessel wall cell death. One catheter device includes a distal tube region having coolant delivery holes radially and longitudinally distributed along the distal region. In some devices, holes spray coolant directly onto the vessel walls, with the coolant absorbed into the blood stream. In other embodiments, a balloon or envelope is interposed between the coolant and the vessel walls and the coolant returned out of the catheter through a coolant return lumen. Some direct spray devices include an occlusion device to restrict blood flow past the region being cooled. Pressure, temperature, and ultrasonic probes are included in some cooling catheters. Pressure control valves are included in some devices to regulate balloon interior pressure within acceptable limits. In applications using liquid carbon dioxide as coolant, the balloon interior pressure can be maintained above the triple point of carbon dioxide to inhibit dry ice formation. Some cooling catheters are coiled perfusion catheters supporting longer cooling periods by allowing perfusing blood flow simultaneously with vessel wall cooling. One coiled catheter is biased to assume a coiled shape when unconstrained and can be introduced into the body in a relatively straight shape, having a stiffening wire inserted through the coil strands.

High-speed single crystal growth device

The invention discloses a high-speed single crystal growth device which is characterized in that a guide cylinder is arranged above a crucible and the shape of the guide cylinder near a triple point is specially designed so as to control the direction of heat flow above a solidification interface; and a water jacket is arranged in the guide cylinder so as to reinforce the heat transfer of the crystal side. By designing the guide cylinder structure, the length of the water jacket extends to be near a solid-liquid interface. Compared with the conventional water jacket design, the heat dissipation capacity of the crystal side can be intensified greatly, and the crystal pulling speed is improved. The technical shortcoming that since the water jacket is too close to the solid-liquid interface, so that the concavity of the solid-liquid interface is increased is overcome, the flat solid-liquid interface shape can be achieved in the whole crystal pulling process, and the value of thermal stress in the crystal is controlled at a low level. Therefore, the high-speed single crystal growth device is favorable for quickly pulling high-quality single crystal.
