Benefits of technology

The patent describes a generator that can quickly heat and convert gases and liquids, such as water, into steam. This results in a higher temperature of the steam than normal.

Problems solved by technology

Steam generators take a long time typically in the range of several minutes to hours to achieve steam at a predetermined stable operating pressure and temperature.
Small superheated steam generators, which typically output steam at steam at about 500 degrees centigrade or greater, take a much longer time to achieve the desired boiler pressure that produces the desired superheated steam temperatures.
Therefore, this delay can limit the application of superheated steam in processes that demand rapid superheated steam injection, such as in typical semiconductor manufacturing.

first embodiment

[0041]In a test of a generator constructed in accordance with the first embodiment, namely with six 1000 W tungsten halogen lamps operated at 40% power and a water input flow of 120 cm3 per minute, superheated steam was produced at nearly 500° C. in less than 15 seconds, which is equivalent approximately to 200 liters per minute of superheated steam.

second embodiment

[0042]According to a generator, the process conduit may be configured to surround the lamps. Referring to FIG. 6, generator 110 includes a process conduit 114 is configured as a coil with a first linear portion that forms the input 114a and a second linear portion 14b that forms output 114b, which extend through the end walls of enclosure 130 similar to the previous embodiment. In this manner, process conduit 114 surrounds lamps 18. With this configuration, the surface area of the process conduit is greatly increased and, therefore, more heat emitted from the lamps may be absorbed by the fluid flowing through the process conduit. Further, with this configuration, the reflective coatings may be eliminated or their location may be varied. For example, the reflective coatings may be provided on the inwardly facing side of each respective lamp so that all the heat emitted by the lamps is directed outwardly through the outwardly facing sides of the lamps.

third embodiment

[0047]In yet another embodiment of a generator, the process conduit may include a first portion that surrounds the lamps and a second portion that surrounds the first portion of the process conduit. Referring to FIG. 8, the numeral 310 generally designates another embodiment of a generator. Generator 310 includes a first coiled portion 316 that surrounds the lamps 18 and a second coiled portion 318 that surrounds the first coiled portion 316 of the process conduit 314. In the illustrated embodiment, first coiled portion 316 is sized to extend over the heated length of each of the respective lamps, similar to the second and Second coiled portion 318 is sized to extend over first coiled portion 316 and substantially the full length of the lamps 18. Consequently, the outer coiled portion is longer in coil length than the inner coiled portion. Additionally, the diameter of the second coiled portion may be greater than the diameter of the first coiled portion so that it completely surro...

Abstract

A method of producing an active chemical species, steam or superheated steam includes flowing one or more fluids through a conduit, locating one or more incandescent lights in close proximity to the conduit, and using at least a portion of the heat emitted from the one or more incandescent lights to heat the one or more fluids flowing through the conduit so that the fluid or fluids are disassociated into chemical components, associated into a new compound, or converted into steam.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Steam generators are devices that use heat to boil liquid water and convert it into steam. The heat is typically from fossil fuels, electricity, nuclear energy, or renewal energy. There are number of different types of steam generators that operate under a wide range of operating pressures to achieve a wide range of steam quality production. Most steam generators are high pressure vessels constructed out of a variety of steels. Steam generators take a long time typically in the range of several minutes to hours to achieve steam at a predetermined stable operating pressure and temperature.[0002]For example, small steam generators, which typically use electricity, take several minutes to produce saturated steam at approximately one atmosphere and nearly 100 degrees centigrade. Small superheated steam generators, which typically output steam at steam at about 500 degrees centigrade or greater, take a much longer time to achieve the d...
