Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If a temperature regulating mechanism and waste liquid tank are installed to dissolve clogging substances, then filter lifetime is extended, but device size increases and operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes the harmful mist and microparticles from the gas stream using a filter, and eliminates the need for complex temperature regulating mechanisms and waste liquid tanks by using a simple structure where mist and microparticles are directly removed without dissolution
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a simple, replaceable filter element that can be easily disposed of or replaced when saturated, eliminating the need for expensive and complex temperature regulation systems and waste liquid handling infrastructure
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a temperature regulating mechanism is installed to liquefy hydrogen fluoride, then mist is washed down, but device size increases and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses an inexpensive filter element that physically traps mist and microparticles, replacing expensive temperature regulation equipment and waste liquid handling systems with a simple, low-cost filtration approach
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs a porous filter element that physically captures mist and microparticles through adsorption and filtration mechanisms, providing effective mist removal without requiring complex temperature regulation equipment
3Reliability
If a complex waste liquid handling system is installed, then clogging substances are removed, but operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The filter element automatically captures and retains mist and microparticles as gas passes through it, providing self-service clogging prevention without requiring external energy input or complex waste liquid handling systems
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a simple, replaceable filter that prevents clogging through physical filtration, eliminating the need for energy-consuming waste liquid handling systems and complex maintenance infrastructure
