A vessel with a cavity for measuring level is disclosed. The vessel includes a differential pressure sensor having a first port and a second port, a reference tube that connects the first port of the differential pressure sensor to a bottom portion of the cavity, and an impulse tube that connects the second port of the differential pressure sensor to an impulse tube ending. At least a portion of the impulse tube extends through the cavity and ends at a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is located at a level above the reference tube.

In a first aspect, the disclosure provides a method for removing a component from a gas stream. A carrier gas stream is cooled by direct contact with a dehydrating solution stream. The dehydrating solution stream removes a portion of water present in the carrier gas stream and produces a dry gas stream and a wet solution stream. A portion of the component is removed from the dry gas stream by direct contact with a cold contact liquid stream. A depleted gas stream and a slurry stream are produced. Removing the portion of the component may include desublimating, freezing, condensing, depositing, or a combination thereof of the portion of the component out of the dry gas stream as a solid product. The slurry stream may include the solid product and a contact liquid. The solid product is separated from the contact liquid, producing a substantially pure solid product stream and the cold contact liquid stream.

Devices, systems, and methods for siphoning heat exchange or reaction for solids production are disclosed. Passing a contact fluid through a siphoning device, wherein the siphoning device is made of a contact fluid inlet, a carrier fluid inlet, and an outlet, and wherein the contact fluid passes through the contact fluid inlet, inducing a siphon in the carrier fluid inlet. This siphon then siphons a carrier fluid through the carrier fluid inlet and into the contact fluid. The carrier fluid is, in part, made of a first component. The carrier fluid and the contact fluid mix. This mixing produces a product solid, wherein the product solid is produced from the first component by desublimation, condensation, solidification, crystallization, precipitation, reaction with the contact fluid, or a combination thereof of at least a portion of the first component. The product solid passes through the outlet.

Devices, systems, and methods for pressure-regulated melting are disclosed. A vessel includes a solids inlet, a fluids outlet, a cavity, and an energy source. Solids enter the vessel through the solids inlet. The cavity has an internal pressure. A backpressure is induced in the solids inlet. The energy source heats the vessel, the contents of the vessel, or a combination thereof. The rate of heating of the energy source is matched to a feed rate of the solids such that the solids are melted directly to a product liquid at the internal pressure. The product liquid passes through the fluids outlet through a restriction that maintains the internal pressure in the cavity.

Devices, systems, and methods for pressure-regulated melting are disclosed. A vessel includes a solids inlet, a fluids outlet, a cavity, and a warm fluids inlet. Solids enter the vessel through the solids inlet. The cavity has an internal pressure. Warm fluids enter the vessel through the warm fluids inlet. The warm liquid being directed into the vessel provides an inlet pressure that produces a backpressure in the solids inlet. A feed rate of the warm liquid is matched to a feed rate of the solids such that the solids are melted directly to a product liquid at the internal pressure. The product liquid is passed out of the vessel through a restriction that maintains the internal pressure in the cavity.

Devices, systems, and methods for pressure-regulated melting are disclosed. A vessel includes a solids inlet, a fluids outlet, a cavity, and a melting device. Solids enter the vessel through the solids inlet. The cavity has an internal pressure. The solids inlet has a reducer that produces a first back pressure on the solids in the solids inlet. The melting device heats the vessel, the contents of the vessel, or a combination thereof. The heating rate of the melting device is matched to the feed rate of the solids such that the solids are melted directly to a product liquid at the internal pressure. The product liquid passes through the fluids outlet through a restriction that maintains the internal pressure in the cavity.

F28C 3/12

Devices, systems, and methods for melting solids are disclosed. A vessel includes a solids inlet, a plunger, one or more fluid jets, and a fluid outlet. Solids are passed through the solids inlet into the vessel. The plunger is positioned adjacent to the solids inlet to provide a variable gap between the plunger and the solids inlet. The variable gap provides a restriction producing a back pressure at the solids inlet. Hot fluid is injected into the vessel by fluid jets. The one or more fluid jets enter the vessel and end adjacent to the variable gap. The hot fluid melts at least a portion of the solids.

Devices, systems, and methods for removing a component from a fluid are disclosed. A feed fluid is heated by passing the feed fluid through a heating path of a first indirect-contact heat exchanger (ICHE). The feed fluid contains a first component. The fluid is heated from a first temperature to a second temperature, resulting in a heated feed fluid. The heated feed fluid is passed through a desiccator, containing a desiccant. The first component is bound up to the desiccant, resulting in a stripped-heated feed fluid. The stripped-heated feed fluid is cooled by passing the stripped-heated feed fluid through a cooling path of the first indirect-contact heat exchanger (ICHE). The stripped-heated feed fluid is cooled from a second temperature to a third temperature, the third temperature being greater than the first temperature, producing a product fluid.
