Device for purifying water

摘要

The invention relates to a device for purifying water contaminated with organic substances, which is drained or collected from filters, especially fuel filters or elements of a fuel system. Hydroxyl radicals are formed from the water by means of a separating device where the hydroxyl radicals oxidize the impurities, especially organic substances, as much as possible, and convert them into compounds such as CO2.

主权项

1. A purifying device for treating contaminated water separated from a hydrocarbon fuel, said device comprising:
a hydrocarbon fuel filter having a fuel inlet, a fuel outlet, a filter medium and an outlet for removing and separating contaminated water from said fuel; a treatment chamber connected to said fuel filter and containing the contaminated water separated from the hydrocarbon fuel; and two diamond electrodes in said treatment chamber in contact with the contaminated water, said electrodes connected to an AC electrical power source to energize each of said diamond electrodes to alternate as an anode and as a cathode to generate hydroxyl radicals at each of said diamond electrodes in the contaminated water and oxidize contaminants in the contaminated water into carbon dioxide.
