Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for providing hot water and water treatment on a large scale face challenges with bulk and weight constraints, as well as the need for additional equipment like carburetors and vaporizers, which increase volume and weight requirements.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device with an internal chassis housing a tank for fluid recovery and a subassembly for producing hot water using condensing boilers and gas cylinders, where the gas is stored in both liquid and gaseous states, eliminating the need for separate carburetors and vaporizers, and optimizing the orientation of gas cylinders to reduce volume and weight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If gas is stored in liquid state in gas cylinders, then storage density is improved, but additional equipment (carburetor/vaporizer) is required which increases device complexity and volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the gas storage function and gas vaporization function into a single integrated gas cylinder assembly. The cylinder stores gas in liquid state in the lower portion and provides a vaporization chamber in the upper portion, eliminating the need for separate carburetor or vaporizer equipment. This merging resolves the contradiction by maintaining high storage density while reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The gas cylinder is designed to perform multiple functions: storage of gas in liquid state, phase transition to gaseous state, and direct delivery to the combustion system. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for additional specialized equipment, resolving the contradiction between storage efficiency and device complexity.
2Reliability
If gas cylinders are equipped with carburetor and vaporizer, then gas delivery is improved, but volume and weight of the device increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vaporization chamber is integrated directly into the gas cylinder structure, combining the storage vessel and vaporization function into one component. This eliminates the need for separate carburetor and vaporizer assemblies, significantly reducing the overall volume and weight of the gas delivery system while maintaining reliable gas delivery to the combustion system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functional subassemblies are combined in a single mobile device, then service versatility is improved, but bulk and mass constraints are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is divided into distinct functional subassemblies (hot water production, water treatment, surface cleaning) that can be independently configured and optimized. Each subassembly uses its own gas cylinder with integrated vaporization, allowing modular design that reduces overall weight compared to a monolithic system while maintaining service versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The gas storage system uses parameter optimization by storing gas in liquid state at controlled temperature and pressure conditions, achieving high density storage. This allows the mobile device to carry sufficient gas for multiple services without excessive weight, resolving the contradiction between versatility and weight constraints.
