发明名称 Side-Stream Particle Precipitator Apparatus and System for Condenser Open Loop Cooling System
摘要 A side-stream particle precipitator system for the breakdown and removal of bio-materials and suspended solids in water cooling systems using a plurality of ionizer treatment units utilizing electric and electro-magnetic fields and a mechanical vortex precipitating system to remove particulate materials contained in the water complex as suspended solids. The system also uses high voltage electrodes 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.

主权项 1. A side-stream particle precipitator water treatment apparatus for the removal of biologic and particulate materials and dissolved solids 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 conductivity meter located at the water inlet to the pump for providing a sensor measurement of the electrical conductivity of the water complex; 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 electrodes contained within ionizer cells, the on/off timing and voltage levels of the cooling system conduit electrodes, and controls the valving for regulating the flow direction and flow rate of the water complex through the ionizer cells and mechanical filters for filtering of particulate matter from the water complex by continual monitoring of the conductivity sensor measurement of the conductivity meter; a plurality ionizers comprising at least a first and second ionizers sequentially connected with each respective ionizer containing a unique electrode to substantially eliminate biologic materials in the form of aerobic and anaerobic organisms and particulate solids that are in solution in the water complex; said first ionizer comprised of a containment vessel that houses a first dual-spaced apart electrode structure extending into the flow path of the water complex within the vessel with each of the dual electrodes being of titanium, wherein, when such dual electrodes are energized under the regulation of the programmable logic controller with either the same or reverse polarity dc voltage, the dual electrodes drive free H2 and O2 from the water complex depriving the water complex of those chemicals resulting in the substantial elimination of most aerobic and anaerobic organisms that are in solution in the water complex for the lack of said chemicals; said second ionizer being comprised of a containment vessel that houses a single electrode structure extending into the flow path of the water complex within said vessel with said electrode consisting of a plurality of high-intensity electro-magnets positioned with spacing and polarity positioning maintained along the entire length of the electrode within a non-conducting outer tube, wherein said electro-magnets impart a surface charge to any clump, coagulate or colloidal particulate matter making particles in the range of 1-5 microns attract other particles to combine together making particles of larger sizes that will precipitate out of solution and be removed by mechanical filtering of the particulate solids from the water complex; a plurality of mechanical vortex precipitators connected in series to mechanically precipitate said particles of larger size out of the water complex for disposal, each of said plurality of mechanical vortex precipitators being comprised of a containment vessel having an inlet permitting the water complex to flow into and downward through an outer cylindrical chamber surrounding a central cylindrical chamber housing an inverted perforated cone located in an upper portion thereof and a trap at the bottom of the central cylindrical chamber with an outlet located above the central cylindrical chamber and the perforated inverted cone for the water complex outflow, wherein each of said mechanical precipitators forces the entering water complex downward through the outer cylindrical chamber and into the central cylindrical chamber creating a vortex having an upward flow toward the perforated inverted cone, said inverted cone delaying the outward flow of the water complex through the outlet, said water complex and the suspended and dissolved solids contained therein are retained within the perforated inverted for a limited time causing the return of the suspended particulate materials to the vortex below in the central cylindrical chamber which forces the suspended particulate materials outward to the sides of the central cylindrical chamber to precipitate down along the chamber walls to the bottom of the central cylindrical chamber and through a plurality of holes to be collected in the trap below for disposal; a series of high voltage low wattage electrodes situated within one or more conduits in the water cooling system 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 that will dislodge and remove scale, slime, and some corrosion from the conduit surfaces and to disperse and retained dissolved solids within the water complex;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.
