SYSTEM FOR PURIFYING A FLUID LADEN WITH PARTICLES BY THERMOPHORETIC FORCE

摘要

The invention relates to a system for treating a fluid by thermophoretic force, including first and second modules between which the fluid (24) to be treated is to flow, the first module (2a) to be heated to a temperature greater than that of the second module so as to create a temperature gradient causing a thermophoretic force capable of spraying the particles to be purified toward the second module (2b). According to the invention, the first module includes a series of first parallel tubes (10a) through which a hot fluid (20) is to pass, the second module (2b) includes a series of second parallel tubes (10b) through which a cold fluid (22) is to pass, and the first tubes (10a) are staggered with the second tubes (10b).
