摘要: A system and method for decontaminating a fluid and recovered vapor, particularly processing and recycling water used in an oil zone steam process, utilizing a vaporizer-desalination unit to separate a contaminated water flow into a contaminated disposal flow and a clean water vapor flow. The contaminated water flow is recovered after separation from a combined oil and water flow from an oil well. The clean water vapor flow is preferably passed through a steam generator to produce the steam used in the oil zone steam process. The steam is injected into the oil zone of a designated well and then extracted as the combined oil and water flow. Once primed with sufficient external water, the system and method is designed to operate continuously with minimal replenishment because of the water/vapor/steam cycle.

摘要: A method for producing electricity from an existing oil platform designed to extract petroleum oil from an underground deposit comprises the following steps: extracting a mixture of petroleum oil and water from the underground deposit under a pressure P2 via a first extraction pipe (11); circulating the extracted mixture so as to actuate an electricity generating turbine by kinetic energy in order to generate electricity; and supplying a power grid with at least a fraction of the electricity generated by the generating turbine.

摘要: This method for stabilizing the rotation speed of a hydraulic machine having S-characteristic and comprising a distributor (9) is adapted to modify a water flow, so that the machine can be coupled to a grid. The method comprises the steps of calculating an orientation of the distributor (9); and orienting the distributor according to the calculated orientation. The method further comprises the steps of providing an electric torque to the machine so as to reach a target speed.

摘要: A water-control system has a faucet, a base unit having at least one normally-open solenoid-operated valve coupled to a water inlet fitting and a water outlet fitting, control circuitry, and a first antenna, and an elongated foot switch, having a normally-open contact element, a battery, and circuitry including a second antenna. A water-supply conduit is coupled to the water-inlet fitting of the solenoid-operated valve, and a water line is connected between the water-outlet fitting of the solenoid-operated valve and a fitting at the adjustable faucet, and wherein, with the faucet open and water flowing from the faucet, stepping on the foot switch closes the normally-open contact element, causing a signal to be sent wirelessly from the elongated foot switch to the solenoid control circuitry, causing the solenoid-operated valve to close, stopping water flow from the faucet, and releasing the foot switch allows water flow to resume.

摘要: A dynamic adaptive mooring system for wave energy converters (WEC) is disclosed that has a mooring configuration that has a set of fixed mooring lines, and a set of movable mooring lines. When an incoming wave train interacts with the fixed WECs, a set of wave interference points that have higher wave amplitudes than the incoming wave train are formed downstream of the fixed WECs. The movable WECs are then positioned at the interface points to optimize wave energy transfer.

摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an energy recovery system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The energy recovery system includes a nozzle having a flow passage with an inlet passage and an outlet passage that is narrowed relative to the inlet passage, in which the nozzle is configured to couple to a condenser and receive an air flow into the flow passage from a condenser fan. The energy recovery system further includes a wind turbine disposed within the outlet passage of the flow passage and having a first axis of rotation, and a generator that is external to the nozzle and that includes a shaft with a second axis of rotation. The generator is coupled to the wind turbine, such that the first axis of rotation is aligned with the second axis of rotation.
