AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that provides a water treatment system that can convert any water into microbe-free, chemical-free, chlorine-free, pleasant-tasting, soft, mineral-repleted water at the point of use. The device includes a heat exchanger, a thin water layer centrifugal vacuum chamber, a booster pump, a holding tank with UV light and a carbon column, an electronically heated vegetable oil circulated through a jacket, a preheat heat exchanger and a heated vacuum chamber, an electrical refrigeration unit, a back wash capability for each part of the system, and a computer processor to monitor and control the system. The device can be installed in homes, restaurants, hotels, and military field units and is compact and easy to operate.

Problems solved by technology

(up to 180 degrees C.) without boiling, but upon further heating, boiling may occur with explosive violence.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] References will not be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, like referenced characters are used to designate like elements.

[0038] The water purification and conditioning unit of the invention are schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1-8. FIG. 1 reveals a general schematic of the entire system of this invention. Raw water from the source comes into the system through conduit 1. In FIG. 2, it then flows into counter current heat exchanger 2 where the water is preheated and the gas from the compressor is cooled. Water enters the heat exchanger 2 through conduit 1. The heated refrigerant enters the heat exchanger through conduit 2a which traverses the system inside conduit 2b. All of the conduits are held by attachment means 2c. This system flows in a counter current fashion and allows the most rapid heat exchanger feasible. Feed water then enters manifold 15 ...

Abstract

A point of use water purification unit for continuously and completely purifying water at all point of use for removing all chemicals, killing all microorganisms; the device having a computer monitored and controlled system for degassing, super heating and exploding water into a vacuum chamber, condensing the steam in a counter current cold brine apparatus and stored in a holding tank.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 914,402 which is a 371 of PCT / US97 / 11261 filed Jun. 27, 1997, which claims benefit of Ser. No. 60 / 022,015 filed Jun. 27, 1996, all incorporated herein by reference. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable REFERENCE TO A “MICROFICHE APPENDIX”[0003] Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] This present invention relates to a point of use water purification unit designed to continuously and completely purify water at all points of use such as homes, restaurants, hotels, military, sea and field units as well as desalination of sea water at the point of use. The device will remove all chemicals, all microorganisms and replete the water with essential ground minerals. [0006] 2.
