Regenerative scrubber system with single flow diversion actuator
First Claim
1. A refrigerated transport container comprising:
- a cargo box defining a closed environment;
a refrigeration unit including a compressor, a heat rejection heat exchanger and a heat absorption heat exchanger;
a regenerative scrubber system for removing a selected gas from an atmosphere within the closed environment, the regenerative scrubber system comprising;
a scrubber module having a first scrubber and a second scrubber, each housing a porous mass of regenerative adsorbent material for adsorbing the selected gas;
a first flow diversion device disposed upstream of the scrubber module with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, the first flow diversion device selectively positionable between a first position and a second position;
a second flow diversion device disposed downstream of the scrubber and upstream of the heat absorption heat exchanger with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, the second flow diversion device selectively positionable between a first position and a second position; and
a single actuator operatively associated with each of the first flow diversion device and the second flow diversion device, the actuator configured for selectively positioning each of the first and the second flow diversion devices simultaneously in either the first position or in the second position.

Abstract
A regenerative scrubber system is provided for removing a selected gas from an atmosphere within a closed environment. The scrubber system includes a scrubber module having a first scrubber and a second scrubber, each housing a porous mass of regenerative adsorbent material for adsorbing the selected gas, a first flow diversion device disposed upstream of the scrubber module with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, a second flow diversion device disposed downstream of the scrubber with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, and a single actuator operatively associated with each of the first flow diversion device and the second flow diversion device.

10. A regenerative scrubber system for removing a selected gas from an atmosphere within a closed environment, the regenerative scrubber system comprising:
-
a scrubber module having a first scrubber and a second scrubber, each housing a porous mass of regenerative adsorbent material for adsorbing the selected gas; a first flow diversion device disposed upstream of the scrubber module with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, the first flow diversion device selectively positionable between a first position and a second position; a second flow diversion device disposed downstream of the scrubber with respect to the gaseous flow from the closed environment, the second flow diversion device selectively positionable between a first position and a second position; and a single actuator operatively associated with each of the first flow diversion device and the second flow diversion device, the actuator configured for selectively positioning each of the first and the second flow diversion devices simultaneously in either the first position or in the second position; wherein the scrubber module comprises; a housing defining an interior volume; a flow baffle extending longitudinally within the interior volume to define a generally U-shaped flow passage having an upstream portion on a first side of the flow baffle and a downstream portion on a second side of the flow baffle; a first sheet of adsorbent material for selectively adsorbing the selected gas from the air flow, the first sheet disposed in the upstream portion of the flow passage; and a second sheet of adsorbent material for selectively adsorbing the selected gas from the air flow, the second sheet disposed in the downstream portion of the flow passage. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
