Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the potting or mounting of hollow-fiber membranes or tubing into manifolds that can be used in gas-liquid, gas-gas, and liquid-liquid membrane contactors for gas dissolution and various separation applications including dissolved gas removal, pervaporation, and filtration.
  • These contactors use sealed-end hollow fibers or flow-through hollow fibers.
  • Manifolds in previous membrane contactors had two functions: (1) the delivery of material to or removal of material from the lumen of the hollow fibers and (2) the containment of the hollow fibers and potting agents during manufacture.
  • Manufacture typically employed centrifugation to force the potting agent or uncured adhesive into the spaces between the individual fibers and the spaces between the fibers and the walls of the manifolds.
  • Manifold design was constrained by fiber-potting or fiber mounting requirements.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,034,164 illustrates a bubbleless gas transfer device and process, wherein hollow fibers are supported in a housing or manifold and carry a gas under pressure for transfer to a liquid. All of the fibers that are used in the device shown in Patent '164 are mounted in a single chamber of a manifold. This mounting normally requires the use of a centrifuge to force an uncured adhesive into spaces between a fiber bundle and the walls of the manifold. Centrifuging is a time consuming operation.
  • the present invention in one aspect relates to a modular fiber packet used in a manifold for supporting hollow fibers for fluid transfer to or from a surrounding fluid.
  • the mounting of small packets of fibers which can be formed in an efficient manner to simplify the manufacturing of the fluid transfer manifold.
  • the fibers are assembled into individual packets of at least five, up to several hundred fibers potted or molded into a small block of material which fits into hollow fins or support pockets formed on the interior of the manifold.
  • the hollow fins are open to the ends of the hollow fibers in each of the packets.
  • the lumens of the fibers carry a fluid.
  • the fluid from the interior or the exterior passes through the walls of the fibers in a desired manner, preferably through bubbleless transfer when gas is provided under pressure to the lumens and is transferred to a liquid.
  • the outer ends of the fibers can be plugged to prevent bubbling from the ends.
  • the present invention also relates to an improved manufacturing process which no longer uses the manifold in the potting or mounting of hollow fibers. Instead the hollow fibers are first assembled into packets or bundles held by a block of molded material. A small length of the block is cut away to expose the lumen of the hollow fibers. The block is then inserted and glued into place inside a support pocket or slot located on the manifold.
  • the manifold can be almost any shape, because the manifold is not used in the potting of the hollow fibers.
  • the minimum design requirements for the manifold are inclusion of a plenum for distributing gases or liquids to or from the lumen of the fibers and inclusion of one or more pockets to hold the blocks containing the potted fibers.
  • the advantage of this process is reduced manufacturing costs compared to centrifugation, more flexibility in the design of manifolds, and greater quality control.
  • the fins and the manifold can be molded from plastic materials and assembled into a liquid carrying conduit. Water or other liquid is permitted to flow through the interior of the manifold, past the fins and through the conduit along the fibers. As the gas under pressure passes from the fibers into the liquid, the desired gas transfer takes place.
  • the packets of fibers are of size so injection of a quick setting potting material can be used without damaging the fibers and while insuring that the material fills the spaces between fibers. Several packets then are used to complete the manifold construction having several thousand total fibers.

  • Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the manifold of Figure 1;

Abstract

L'invention concerne un collecteur (26, 26A, 26B, 81) destiné à une pluralité de fibres (17) creuses microporeuses utilisées pour transférer des fluides dans un autre fluide, par exemple un gaz dans un liquide. Lesdites fibres (17) sont rassemblées en petits faisceaux (16, 16A, 16B), puis positionnées et fixées dans le collecteur (26) de façon qu'un fluide sous pression puisse être introduit dans leur lumière. Le collecteur (26, 26A, 26B, 81) comporte une pluralité d'ailettes (28) creuses formant des poches (28, 80) destinées à recevoir un bloc moulé (20, 20B) de matière qui maintient les fibres (17). Un second fluide, par exemple un liquide, est introduit par le centre du collecteur (26, 26A, 26B, 81) de façon qu'il s'écoule sur les ailettes (28) et les fibres (17) pour permettre le transfert d'un gaz entre les fibres (17) et le liquide. Grâce à la construction modulaire d'un tel collecteur, il est facile de mouler ledit bloc de matière et d'y faire tenir les fibres (17).
