AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently and environmentally friendly heating processes that require high and very high temperatures, such as those used in the manufacture of titanium dioxide, mineral wool, gypsum, wood pulp and paper, and cathode and anode materials, due to the limitations of existing heating systems that are not suitable for gas aerodynamics and high temperatures.

Method used

A method using a rotating device to generate a heated fluid medium, incorporating a rotor with blades and vanes, which imparts thermal energy to a fluid medium, allowing it to reach temperatures of 500°C or higher, and optionally using exothermic reactions to further increase temperature, powered by electrical energy, including renewable sources.

Benefits of technology

The method achieves efficient heating of fluids to high temperatures, reducing greenhouse gas and particulate emissions, and enables the use of renewable energy, while replacing conventional combustion heaters, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions.

Abstract

A method is provided for inputting thermal energy into a fluid medium in a manufacturing method using at least one rotating device, comprising a casing having at least one inlet and at least one outlet, a rotor having at least one row of rotor blades arranged around a rotor hub attached to a rotor shaft, and a stator configured as an assembly of fixed vanes positioned at least upstream of the at least one row of rotor blades. The method imparts an amount of thermal energy to the flow of the fluid medium guided along a channel created inside the casing between the inlet and the outlet by a series of energy conversions that occur as the flow of the fluid medium passes through the fixed vanes and at least one row of rotor blades, respectively. The method comprises incorporating the at least one rotating device into a manufacturing facility configured to perform a material manufacturing method, such as producing titanium oxide, mineral wool, gypsum, wood pulp and paper, cathodes and anodes, or rapidly dried chemicals at a temperature essentially of about 500°C or above, and conducting an input amount of energy to the at least one rotating device incorporated into the heat consumption method facility, wherein the input energy includes electrical energy. Further provides rotating devices and related uses.
