HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSOR AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

This present invention is a more economical method and apparatus for compressing gas or other compressible fluids in high volumes at any desired pressures for any desired purpose. One preferred use is for generating high volumes of air capable to be delivered at any drafts for the purpose of lubricating ships motions and accordingly lowering their drag, fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

主权项

1. A nautical vessel system, comprising: a pump configured to pump a transport fluid;
a compressible fluid injector fluidly coupled to the pump, wherein the compressible fluid injector increases a dynamic pressure of the transport fluid to entrain and pressurize a compressible fluid; a fluid separation chamber configured to receive the transport fluid and the compressible fluid, wherein the fluid separation chamber enables the compressible fluid to separate from the transport fluid to form a first compressed air source; and a distribution system fluidly coupled to the fluid separation chamber to receive a first compressed airflow from the first compressed air source, the distribution system comprising a pipe, wherein the pipe couples to an exterior surface of a nautical vessel hull to direct the first compressed airflow between the nautical vessel and a fluid surrounding the nautical vessel to reduce friction as the nautical vessel moves through the fluid.
