An apparatus and corresponding method of use extracts, cools, and transports effluents from subterranean, sub-sea oil formations to distant shore based processing facilities. The effluents, mostly crude oil, are conveyed rapidly to a cold flow generator near the oil wellhead on the sea bottom using the cold seawater to chill the effluents to a dispersed mixture including generated solids. The mixture is transported close to sea bottom temperatures, slowly, with small pressure drops, in low-cost submerged bare pipes over long distances to on or near shore processing facilities that can produce useful hydrocarbon products more cost effectively than at sea processing facilities. The apparatus eliminates or minimizes the need for heated or insulated pipe, the need for large floating processing structures, the need for sub-sea processing equipment, and / or the need for chemical additions to production flow.

Growing systems may include a number of modular growing chambers adapted to be configured in a stacked arrangement with each growing chamber surrounding a corresponding portion of the plant. The grow chambers may be selectively added or removed during plant growth, such that different sections of the growing plant may be influenced differently using aeroponic, hydroponic or other growing techniques. The grow chamber stack may be portable and provided with integrated or independent lifting devices to assist an operator in adding or removing chambers from the stack. Three growing processes may be facilitated using such systems. These include a process for producing assorted product from a single plant for simultaneous harvest, a process for producing an extended harvest of a desired size product from a single plant, and a process for extending the productive life of a plant and provide for multiple, continued, and perpetual harvest.

The invention relates to rapid judgment for the corrosion of a sodium bicarbonate water type oil well, which is applied to the corrosion treatment of a pit shaft of the oil well. A production liquid is of a sodium bicarbonate water type. When the mole ratio of Ca to HCO3- is between 0 and 1 and less than 0.6, the corrosion which is local corrosion and scale formation coexist; along with the increase of the mole ratio of the Ca to the HCO3-, the scale formation of the pit shaft is relieved, but the corrosion becomes serious; and when the mole ratio of the Ca to the HCO3- is greater than 0.6, the pit shaft of the oil well is mainly corroded. The corrosion condition of a sodium bicarbonate water type medium is fast known through the mole ratio of the Ca to the HCO3-. A corrosion inhibitor for the sodium bicarbonate water type medium is made from the following components in percentage by weight: 20 to 35 percent of carboxylate sodium imida, 20 to 35 percent of water-soluble rosinyl imidazoline, 5 to 10 percent of dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, 0 to 5 percent of aminotri-methylene phosphonic acid, 0 to 5 percent of hydroxyl ethidene diphosphonic acid, 5 to 10 percent of methanol, 2 to 5 percent of dispersant and the balanced of water. The rapid judgment and the corrosion inhibitor can improve the efficiency of corrosion inhibition.

The invention discloses an automatic phase selection control valve. The automatic phase selection control valve comprises a base pipe (1); the outer portion of the base pipe (1) is sleeved with an end cover, an outer loop (3) and a screen pipe (4); a rotational flow restrictor (5) is arranged between the outer loop (3) and the base pipe (1); a lower end cover (7) of the rotational flow restrictor (5) is provided with a separation cavity (10) and a water storage cavity (12); a water nozzle (13) for being communicated with the water storage cavity (12) is arranged on the side wall of the separation cavity (10); and a base pipe liquid outlet (16) which is communicated with an oil nozzle (14) of the separation cavity (10) and a water outlet (15) of the water storage cavity (12) is formed in the base pipe (1). The automatic phase selection control valve has the beneficial effects that liquid can be differentiated to enable oil and water to be automatically separated; output of water is limited; the section is balanced, and the heel and toe effect is removed; the annular flow influence is removed, and the service life of an oil and gas well is prolonged; the recovery efficiency of a horizontal well control reservoir is improved; and the control valve is suitable for side / bottom water oil storage with the high heterogeneity.

The present invention has its object to provide a heat exchanger with plastic tanks type, wherein a seal member is regularly compressed and hooks or tabs of header core crimped in a uniform fashion. Deformations predominantly located in the large sides or sides adjacent to the tank foot of the header, are formed and distributed in the inner or outer wall. The deformations in the periphery, or more particular, on the outside of the header wall, are formed after the brazing process.

A light source device is provided. The light source device has: a discharge lamp that emits light by discharge in an interelectrode space between a first electrode and a second electrode; a main mirror arranged at the first electrode side that reflects light flux generated by the discharge in the interelectrode space so as to emit the light flux to an area to be illuminated;a sub-mirror arranged at the second electrode side facing opposite the main mirror that reflects the light flux from the interelectrode space toward the interelectrode space; and a driver that supplies alternating current to the first and the second electrodes, and changes duty ratio of the alternating current supplied to the first and the second electrodes in accordance with a predetermined pattern. In the light source device, maximum value of time ratio of a first anode period in which the first electrode works as anode to one cycle of the alternating current is larger than maximum value of time ratio of a second anode period in which the second electrode works as anode to the one cycle of the alternating current.
