METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISTILLING OR THICKENING FLUIDS

摘要

A device (100) for distilling or thickening fluids, having a chamber (102), an electromagnetic radiation generator (104) and a waveguide (106) connecting the electromagnetic radiation generator (104) with the interior of the chamber (102). The device (100) has a channel (108) located below the end (110) of the waveguide (106), the channel being adapted for transporting the fluid. One end of the channel (108) is the inlet (112) and the other end of the channel (108) is the outlet (114) for the fluid, the channel being shaped so as to prolong the dwell time of the fluid in the chamber (102). A method for distilling or thickening fluids based on passing the fluid through a chamber (102) within which the fluid is affected by electromagnetic radiation generated by an electromagnetic radiation generator (104), and the fluid flows through the chamber within a channel (108) located below the end (110) of a waveguide (106) transmitting the electromagnetic radiation from the generator (104), the channel (108) being shaped so as to prolong the dwell time of the fluid within the chamber (102)
