Gas-To-Liquid Heat Exchanger and Gas Particulate Scrubber

摘要

A gas-to-liquid heat exchanger is presented, where a gas is introduced directly to liquid. The liquid is exposed to the gas as a liquid film upon a series of rotating heat exchange surfaces partially submerged in a liquid reservoir. The liquid vaporizes and then re-condenses on subsequent heat exchange surfaces, such that heat is exchanged between the gas and the liquid. Particulates within the gas coalesce into the vaporized liquid and collect into the liquid reservoir as the vapor re-condenses.

1. A heat exchanger, comprising;
a reservoir chamber configured to contain a liquid reservoir and a gas channel in contact with said liquid reservoir, said reservoir chamber further comprising a gas ingress end and a gas egress end, a liquid ingress port and a liquid egress port; and a rotating shaft comprising a first heat exchange surface in rigid rotational accompaniment with said rotating shaft, said rotating shaft disposed within said reservoir chamber such that said first heat exchange surface is configured to be partially submerged in said liquid reservoir and partially within said gas channel, said rotating shaft oriented to at least partially span said reservoir chamber gas channel.
