摘要： Methods, systems, and devices for making a solid utilizing thermal recuperation are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include a method that includes combining a first material in a frozen state with a portion of a freeze point suppressant. The method may include utilizing the combined first material with the portion of the freeze point suppressant to freeze a second material. Some embodiments include combining the second material in the frozen state with another portion of the freeze point suppressant. Combining the first material in the frozen state with the portion of the freeze point suppressant may melt the first material and may form the first material in a liquid state combined with the portion of the freeze point suppressant; the combined first material in the liquid state with the freeze point suppressant has a temperature lower than a temperature of the first material in the frozen state.

摘要： Solid production systems, devices, and methods utilizing oleophilic surfaces are provided in accordance with various embodiments. Some embodiments include a water tank used to store fresh water. Some embodiments include an emulsion tank that may include a set of auxiliary components that may be utilized to create and/or to pump an emulsion. This auxiliary equipment may include suction headers, ejectors, pumps, mechanical mixers, and/or hydrodynamic mixers, for example. Some embodiments include a heat exchanger that may produce a cold surface for ice formation. This surface may include an oleophilic surface that may produce an affinity for oils and/or other non-polar materials. Some embodiments include piping that may allow for the connection of the other components such that ice may be formed from a flow of water from the emulsion and the overflow may be returned to the emulsion tank. Ice making methods are also provided.

摘要： Methods, systems, and devices provided in accordance with various embodiments are generally related to the field of thermal management systems for buildings (or volumes in general), such as cold storage, food processing, or other buildings that have areas that are kept below freezing. Embodiments generally pertain to the management of temperature and humidity within these spaces. Some embodiments include system for the management of moisture and temperature inside cold spaces. Some embodiments include a heat and mass transfer exchanger, such as a direct constant gas liquid heat and mass transfer exchanger. Examples of such heat and mass transfer exchangers generally include wet scrubbers. Embodiments also generally include a series of ducts, pipes, heat exchangers, dampers, and/or valves that may allow the system to provide useful temperature and relative humidity levels to one or more spaces or volumes.
