Side-stream Particle Precipitator Apparatus and System for Condenser Open Loop Cooling System

摘要

A system for the breakdown and removal of bio-materials and suspended or dissolved solids in water cooling systems using a plurality of ionizer treatment units utilizing electric and magnetic fields and a mechanical filtering system to remove particulate materials housed in the water complex as suspended solids. The system also uses a high voltage electrode for charging the water complex to breakdown laminar flow at the conduit walls to mechanically dislodge any build-up of bio-materials or chemical compounds along the walls resulting in an increase in thermal conductivity and heat exchange efficiencies.

1. A particle precipitation apparatus for the removal of biologic and particulate materials suspended or retained in a water complex and on the surfaces of containment vessels and conduits for storing and transporting the water complex through a water cooling system comprising:
a pump for circulating the water complex through the water treatment apparatus; a plurality of ionizers connected in series with each ionizer respectively containing a unique electrode operable for substantial elimination of biologic materials in the form of aerobic and anaerobic organisms that are in solution in the water complex, reduction in the regrowth of surface growing algae and slime, and imparting a surface charge to any clump, coagulate or colloidal particulate or solid material making particles in the range of 1-5 microns attract other such particles to combine together resulting in particles of larger size; a plurality of flow reducing mechanical filters connected in parallel to mechanically filter said particles of larger size out of the water complex for disposal; a high voltage low wattage electrode situated in proximity to the flow reducing mechanical filters to negatively charge the water complex creating a breakdown in the laminar boundary along the inner surfaces of the conduits in contact with the water complex within one or more conduits in the water cooling system that will dislodge and remove scale, slime, and some corrosion from the conduit surfaces; a program logic controller to control the timing and voltage supply to the water treatment apparatus, said program logic controller regulates the on/off timing of the circulating pump, the on/off timing, voltage levels and polarity of the ionizer electrodes, the on/off timing and voltage levels of the cooling system conduit electrode, controls the valving for regulating the flow direction and flow rate of the water complex through the bio-cells and the static mixers;whereby the water complex is cleansed of biologic and particulate matter either in suspension or residing on conduit or containment vessel surfaces increasing the thermal conductivity of the water complex and reducing overall water usage without need for chemical additives.
