This invention relates to a
system, process, and the device for reducing energy usage by simplifying equipment and thus the power requirements for manufacturing, installation of the equipment required for use in the movement-transportation to / during the
processing of granular particulate bulk,
powder products, many liquids
slurry-able materials. Many commonly identified materials will be in a granular, particulate and non agglomerative condition suitable for injection by
auger or inertial gravity into an enclosed
pipe or conveyance chamber. In the device, two distinct and specific air flow patterns are identified when mechanically-pneumatically established within a single, low pressure
piping entity; 1. A unique self regenerating (for
system length),
pipe contained, Vortex
air cushion, with zero linear variable velocity (ZVVAC). 2. A linear, low pressure,
high velocity “core flow” of air (LPHVCF), or ZVVAC+, (the two features when combined), which carries the injected product or material thus eliminating energy consuming
pipe contact within the conveying
system in a frictionless, high speed environment without product degradations, where system
processing-grading features are optimized specifically where system production costs, maintenance, and especially
operational energy costs are reduced by 90 percent or more.
