Abstract
Abstract An adsorption device for the treatment of gases with a solid adsorbent comprises a disk-shaped cylindrical vessel having a horizontal axis and planar parallel vertical end walls, the conduits being connected to the vessel wall, preferably at diametrically opposite locations so that a number of such vessels may be horizontally stacked with or without removal of intervening end walls, thereby increasing the adsorption capacity of the installation or making it possible to operate two adsorption cells in functionally interchanging relationship such that one may be regenerated while the other serves to adsorb a component from a gas stream.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
An adsorption installation for the treatment of gases, comprising a plurality of cylindrical disk-shaped adsorption cells each having an axial length not exceeding its diameter and including a vessel having a horizontal axis defined between a pair of vertical planes; means in each vessel for supporting a respective body of adsorbent therein extending between the respective vertical planes, said cells being disposed in horizontal alignment and in end to end relationship with the vertical planes of adjacent cells abutting each other; means for rigidly connecting adjacent vessels of said cells together; fittings formed on said vessels above and below said bodies of adsorbent for passing a gas through said bodies within said vessels; and a pair of vertical planar end walls terminating said installation, one such end wall being fixed to the vessel of each cell at a respective end of the installation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
An adsorption installation for the treatment of gases, comprising a plurality of cylindrical disk-shaped adsorption cells each having an axial length not exceeding its diameter and including a vessel having a horizontal axis defined between a pair of vertical planes; means in each vessel for supporting a respective body of adsorbent therein extending between the respective vertical planes, said cells being disposed in horizontal alignment and in end to end relationship with the vertical planes of adjacent cells abutting each other; means for rigidly connecting adjacent vessels of said cells together; fittings formed on said vessels above and below said bodies of adsorbent for passing a gas through said bodies within said vessels; and a pair of vertical planar end walls terminating said installation, one such end wall being fixed to the vessel of each cell at a respective end of the installation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The installation defined in claim 1 further comprising a partition between two such cells and separating them into independently functioning units.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The installation defined in claim 1 wherein all of said cells have parallel vertical cross-sections.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
The installation defined in claim 3 wherein the means for supporting said body of adsorbent in each of said cells includes a perforated member of rectangular outline having a length less than the diameter of the interior of the respective vessel and seated against the inner wall thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The installation defined in claim 4 wherein each body of absorbent has horizontal upper and lower surfaces defining in the respective vessels upper and lower chambers of cylindrical segmental configuration.
