Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for desorption of gas from a liquid comprises a chamber and a pump for circulating liquid from the chamber through an external system and returning this liquid to the chamber. A part of the liquid delivered by the pump is used to power an aspirator in the chamber, the aspirator recirculating liquid within the chamber, resulting in desorption of gas which collects within the chamber for removal by known means. The rate of recirculation through the aspirator, and hence the rate of gas desorption, is thus not limited to the rate of flow through the external apparatus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of desorbing gas from a liquid, comprising withdrawing liquid from a storage chamber by means of a pump, supplying a part of the liquid discharged by said pump to the nozzle of an aspirator whose outlet communicates with said chamber and which has an aspiration inlet communicating with said outlet by way of said chamber, supplying the remainder of said liquid discharged by said pump to an external circuit, and returning said remainder of the liquid from said external circuit to said storage.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
85 words
A method of desorbing gas from a liquid, comprising withdrawing liquid from a storage chamber by means of a pump, supplying a part of the liquid discharged by said pump to the nozzle of an aspirator whose outlet communicates with said chamber and which has an aspiration inlet communicating with said outlet by way of said chamber, supplying the remainder of said liquid discharged by said pump to an external circuit, and returning said remainder of the liquid from said external circuit to said storage.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
142 words
An apparatus for desorption of gas from a liquid, comprising a first storage chamber for said liquid, a pump for withdrawing liquid from said chamber, an aspirator having a nozzle to which liquid can be delivered by said pump, an aspiration inlet communicating with said chamber, and an outlet, said chamber providing a flow path through which liquid can flow from said outlet to said inlet, first and second passages through which liquid can flow in parallel from said pump to said aspirator nozzle and to an external circuit, means for supplying to said chamber liquid returned from said external circuit, said means for supplying liquid to said first chamber comprising a second chamber communicating with said first chamber adjacent said aspirator inlet, and means for permitting liquid flow from said aspirator to pass from said first chamber to said second chamber.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
142 words
An apparatus for desorption of gas from a liquid, comprising a first storage chamber for said liquid, a pump for withdrawing liquid from said chamber, an aspirator having a nozzle to which liquid can be delivered by said pump, an aspiration inlet communicating with said chamber, and an outlet, said chamber providing a flow path through which liquid can flow from said outlet to said inlet, first and second passages through which liquid can flow in parallel from said pump to said aspirator nozzle and to an external circuit, means for supplying to said chamber liquid returned from said external circuit, said means for supplying liquid to said first chamber comprising a second chamber communicating with said first chamber adjacent said aspirator inlet, and means for permitting liquid flow from said aspirator to pass from said first chamber to said second chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 2 which includes a further pump for removing desorbed gas from said chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 2 or claim 3 in which said aspiration inlet is adjacent the bottom of said chamber and said means for supplying the liquid communicates with an upper portion of said chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
72 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 2 in which said aspirator outlet is divergent in the direction of flow therethrough and its smaller flow cross-section opens into said second chamber, said aspirator inlet being defined by a space between said smaller flow cross-section and said nozzle, and in which there is provided a passage communicating with said first chamber and extending to a location in said second chamber adjacent said aspirator inlet.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5 which includes a flow restriction in said passage.
