3results about "Evaporator liquid feeder" patented technology

Water distillation apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed. A distillation device includes a source fluid input, an evaporator, a condenser, a concentrate level sensor configured to sense a current concentrate level in a concentrate reservoir having an inflow path disposed above the evaporator and having a long axis extending alongside the evaporator, and at least one controller configured to govern a rotational speed of the impeller in a low temperature distillate production state and in a high temperature distillate production state by periodically generating an impeller motor command based on a low temperature distillate production rated speed command in the low temperature distillate production state and a high temperature distillate production rated speed command in the high temperature distillate production state, the low temperature distillate production rated speed command being a faster motor speed command than the high temperature distillate production rated speed command.

The present invention relates to a saltwater evaporator (1) comprising a housing (10), which substantially encloses an inner space (11) having at least one steam outlet opening (12) and has at least a first saltwater feed (11a), wherein the surface of the inner space (11) and the first saltwater feed (11a) are designed to allow saltwater (A), as a saltwater film (B), to run off along the vertical axis (Z) on the surface of the inner space (11), and comprising at least one heat source (16, 17), which is designed and arranged within the inner space (11) in order to contactlessly heat the side of the saltwater film (B) which faces away from the surface of the inner space (11) and faces the heat source (16, 17) in such a way that exactly one part of the liquid phase of the saltwater film (B) is evaporated, wherein the housing (10) further comprises at least one saltwater outlet (11c) of the inner space (11), which is arranged and formed along the vertical axis (Z) below the first saltwater feed (11a) to carry off the rest of the liquid phase of the saltwater film (B) out of the inner space (11).

We provide steam distillation systems. [Solution] The system includes a steam distillation device configured to receive a certain volume of source water from a fluid source and produce a distillate, the device comprising: a first heat exchanger comprising a concentrate flow path having a concentrate output; a distillate flow path having a distillate output; at least one source constant ratio valve; and at least a portion of the distillate flow path; and a second heat exchanger comprising at least a portion of the concentrate flow path, wherein the first and second heat exchangers are in fluid flow communication with a fluid source; and a distillate sensor assembly communicating with the distillate flow path and located downstream of the first heat exchanger, the distillate sensor assembly comprising a distillate sensor assembly configured to generate a distillate temperature measurement; and a controller configured to control the source constant ratio valve.
