摘要:
The distiller includes an exchanger (6) of tubes (7) which fill with the liquid to be treated, means (14) of heating, means (23) for compressing the steam from evaporation of the liquid, means (24) for feeding the compressed steam around the tubes (7) and means (27, 28) for inducing turbulence into the liquid, preferably by making the compressed steam bubble inside it. The method includes heating the liquid and supplying it to the tubes of the exchanger, compressing the resulting steam and bringing it into contact with the exterior of the tubes. The equipment uses a distiller such as that described. The invention permits treatment of sewage and other liquids by distillation, with minimum energy consumption and in a small space.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for fluid distillation in general, and in particular, of water, adapted for consumer or home use, but capable of being made and operated so that it is suitable for separating solvents and solutes and other industrial use. The apparatus includes a housing having divider structure to form one or more compartments for receiving water to be distilled. The divider structure also presents a fluid passage for receiving water vapor which is formed when the upper portion of the water in the housing is boiled by a heater. An aerator is provided in the housing below the heater and in a location within the water compartment. The aerator operates to direct air under a slight pressure into the water so that air bubbles can be generated in the water. The air bubbles will rise and break the surface of the water as the upper part of the water is being boiled by the heater. This causes a vapor pressure to be generated in the space above the water level and water vapor is then caused to move through the fluid passage downwardly to a lower chamber in which the water vapor is collected as a condensate. As the water vapor moves downwardly in the fluid passage, it moves in heat exchange relationship to the water in the compartment of the housing. Several embodiments of the housing of the present invention are disclosed herein.
摘要:
A vertical tube evaporation process for the concentration of saline water and other liquids, including the addition of an anionic mono-molecular dispersant thereto which interacts with materials precipitated during concentration and inhibits the formation of scale or fouling depositions on evaporator surfaces, and wherein the additive is incorporated into the precipitated materials and improves their removal during the descaling or defouling of evaporator surfaces by rendering such precipitates redispersable in fresh water or in a non-saturated liquid used for descaling or defouling of evaporator surfaces.

A stripping column installation especially for separating starting materials with a high boiling point difference comprises a stripping column having a withdrawal plate and a column sump, and a circulating boiler connected with the stripping column and having a pipe bundle through which a sump product from the stripping column flows. The circulating boiler has an upper plate and a separating wall which separates a space above the upper plate into two chambers. One of the chambers has a connection for receiving the sump product from the stripping column, while the other of the chambers has a connection for discharging the sump product after heating in the boiler. The circulating boiler is located relative to the stripping column so that a height difference is produced between a liquid level on the withdrawal plate of the stripping column and the upper plate of the circulating boiler, the height difference having a value selected so that a total pressure of a liquid column at each point of a first portion of a pipe path in the circulating boiler lies above the vapor pressure of the sump product to be heated.
摘要:
A column construction or boiling space in a distilling apparatus, having a pure vapor input connector, an input connector for water to be distilled, numerous heat exchange tubes within the column construction, a pure vapor removal connector, a condensate removal connector, and a connector for removing water to be distilled that has not vaporized. Pure steam is disposed to flow through heat exchange tubes, while impure water to be distilled is disposed to flow through an intermediate space between the heat exchange tubes. The heat exchange tubes are, at both ends, joined to flanges.

The invention relates to an improved falling strand devolatilization apparatus. Said apparatus includes in combination a flash chamber for devolatilizing an input material fed as heated falling strands from the tubes of a shell and tube heat exchanger mounted in gastight relationship to said flash chamber. Said heat exchanger tubes are fed by a first pump through a headerbonnet with volatiles being removed from said flash chamber by a second pump adapted to evacuate said chamber.

In the processing of a corrosive liquid mixture, such as 50 to 80% aqueous sulfuric acid, by its passage over one surface of a wall of inert heat resistant material, and heating the other surface of said wall, thereby to evaporate from said corrosive liquid mixture the more volatile component thereof, the improvement which comprises heating said wall by contact with an inert liquid material, and heating said inert liquid material indirectly through heat exchange with a normally solid molten material. Desirably the wall of inert material is a pipe surrounded by a molten metal in a first annular jacket and a molten salt in a second annular jacket.

A PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF LOWER BOILING POINT LIQUIDS FROM THOSE OF A HIGH BOILING POINT, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR IS DISCLOSED. THE LIQUID MIXTURE IS SUPPLIED TO THE BASE OF THE EXTRACTOR AND PASSED UPWARDS UNDER CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE AND REDUCED PRESSURE IN THE VAPOR STATE THROUGH SEVERAL TUBES, WHOSE LENGTH IS FROM 15 TO 35 TIMES THEIR DIAMETER; THE VAPOR LEAVES THE TUBES AT A
VELOCITY APPROACHING THE VELOCITY OF SOUND IN THE VAPOR, AND IS SUBSEQUENTLY CONDENSED. THE LOWER BOILING LIQUID THUS RECOVERED IS OF HIGH PURITY, OFTEN REPRESENTING UP TO 90% OF THE TOTAL LOWER BOILING FRACTION OF THE MIXTURE ENTERING THE EVAPORATOR.
