Technical Field

The present invention generally relates to a rotary water purification system that utilizes a centrifugal system and cavitation friction heaters driven by mutually perpendicular axes.

Background

Current water purification means generally require a disposable filter and a membrane coupled to a heating element driven by a resistive coil which may fail, in particular when in contact with the fluid concerned.

Installation costs and the cost of maintaining most existing water purification systems are significant drawbacks to the user. Most existing water purification systems consume large amounts of energy at the time of installation and purify water at a slower rate than is preferred. Thus, the overall benefit to the user is limited. The object of the present invention is to introduce a water purification system that solves the above mentioned problems.

The present invention aims to mitigate the inefficiencies of existing water purification systems by utilizing a water pump fed rotary centrifuge system to produce water free of solid contaminants, wherein the centrifuged solid contaminants remain on the interior cylindrical wall of the centrifuge and a pitot tube utilizes siphoning to draw the contaminant free water down into a friction heater that is below the centrifuge and operates with the same rotational torque imparted to the shaft. The friction heater uses frictional cavitation to create a phase change in the water to obtain water vapor or vapor that further purifies the fluid, and during or before the water is fully cavitated, the apparatus will draw the water vapor into the cooling coil using siphoning to accelerate natural condensation and deposit the now potable water into a suitable external container.

Detailed Description

All illustrations in the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

The present invention is a water purification system that utilizes a centrifugal system and a cavitation friction heater. By using the invention, non-potable water is cleaned by means of a centrifugal mechanism and a dynamic heater and converted into purified water. The process used in the present invention eliminates the need for filters or other membranes to convert non-potable water into potable water.

As seen in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention comprises a centrifugal unit 1, a cavitation unit 6, a cooling condenser 17, a vertical shaft 18, and a pitot tube 19. The centrifugal unit 1 is used to remove heavy solids from a water sample at an initial stage of the water purification process. When heavy solids are removed from the water sample, the pitot tube 19 transfers the clean water sample to the cavitation unit 6, which then utilizes the heat generated by friction to produce a phase change in the clean water sample. The rotational movement for separating heavy solids from the water sample and the rotational movement resulting in the generation of heat are induced via the rotational movement of the vertical shaft 18. For this purpose, the centrifugal unit 1 and the cavitation unit 6 are mounted on a vertical shaft 18. Preferably, the vertical shaft 18 is made of stainless steel and is powered by a vertical shaft engine or motor.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the centrifugal unit 1 is positioned on top of the cavitation unit 6, as shown in fig. 2. Furthermore, the centrifugal unit 1 is in fluid communication with the cavitation unit 6 via a pitot tube 19. When a phase change occurs at the cavitation unit 6, the resulting water vapor is passed to the cooling condenser 17. To this end, the cavitation unit 6 is in fluid communication with the cooling condenser 17 such that the cooling condenser 17 can release purified water as an output using water vapor as an input.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the centrifugal unit 1 includes a centrifuge rotor 2, a centrifuge chamber 3, a circular opening 4, and a discharge port 5. A circular opening 4 penetrates centrally into the centrifuge chamber 3 and provides an inlet for a water sample from a water source. The centrifuge rotor 2 is centrally positioned and rotatably mounted within the centrifuge chamber 3. The centrifuge rotor 2 provides a rotational movement for separating heavy solids from a water sample received from a water source. The invention also comprises a filling tube 28 which conveys water from a water source to the centrifugal unit 1. Preferably, a fill tube 28 extends from the circular opening 4 and is in fluid communication with a water source. The water source may be, but is not limited to, a stream, lake, or river. As mentioned before, the rotational movement of the centrifuge rotor 2 is controlled by the vertical shaft 18. To this end, the centrifuge rotor 2 is rotatably mounted on a vertical shaft 18, such that the overall rotational movement of the centrifuge rotor 2 can be adjusted via the overall rotational movement of the vertical shaft 18. The positioning of the centrifuge rotor 2 ensures that heavy solids from the water sample are contained within the centrifuge unit 1 through the centrifuge chamber 3. In particular, when the centrifuge rotor 2 is in motion, the heavy solids are pushed towards the inner side wall of the centrifuge chamber 3. At the same time, a volume of less contaminated water accumulates in the centre of the centrifugal unit 1. A discharge opening 5 in fluid communication with the centrifuge rotor 2 and penetrating into the centrifuge chamber 3 ensures a stable water level inside the centrifuge unit 1.

The pitot tube 19 is used to deliver a volume of less contaminated water to the cavitation unit 6. As shown in fig. 5, to this end, the pitot tube 19 includes a first end 20, a tube 21, and a second end 22. The tube 21 extends from a first end 20 to a second end 22 and defines the overall length of the pitot tube 19. In different embodiments of the invention, the length of the pitot tube 19 may vary. To extract water from the center of the centrifugal unit 1, a first end 20 of the pitot tube 19 is positioned circumferentially in the circular opening 4. As water is pumped, the tube 21 carries a volume of less contaminated water, which is then released into the cavitation unit 6 via the second end 22 of the pitot tube 19.

The cavitation unit 6 generates water vapor using heat generated by friction. Preferably, the temperature of the cavitation unit 6 will rise to a temperature of 216 degrees fahrenheit or greater. As seen in fig. 5 and 6, cavitation unit 6 comprises holding chamber 7, first heater plate 8, intermediate heater plate 9, last heater plate 10 and cover plate 14. The holding chamber 7 and the cover plate 14 serve to enclose the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10. The first heater plate 8 and the last heater plate 10 are identical. When considering the arrangement of the cavitation unit 6, the holding chamber 7, the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9, the last heater plate 10 and the cover plate 14 are concentrically aligned with each other. The intermediate heater plate 9 is rotatably mounted to a vertical shaft 18 between the first heater plate 8 and the last heater plate 10. In order to generate friction between the first heater plate 8 and the intermediate heater plate 9, the first heater plate 8 is connected to an inner side wall 29 of the holding chamber 7. Similarly, to generate friction between the intermediate heater plate 9 and the final heater plate 10, the final heater plate 10 is connected to an inner side wall 29 of the holding chamber 7 opposite the first heater plate 8. In order to produce a rotational movement in the intermediate heater plate 9, a vertical shaft 18 passes axially through the holding chamber 7, the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9, the last heater plate 10 and the cover plate 14. The positioning of the intermediate heater plate 9 creates a first receiving area between the first heater plate 8 and the intermediate heater plate 9. Furthermore, a second receiving area is created between the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10. The second end 22 of the pitot tube 19 is received at a second receiving area between the last heater plate 10 and the intermediate heater plate 9.

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10 further comprise a plurality of ridges 15 and a plurality of openings 16 for completing the phase change. More specifically, the plurality of ridges 15 contribute to creating friction between the first heater plate 8 and the intermediate and last heater plates 9, 10, thereby creating the heat required for the phase change. On the other hand, the plurality of openings 16 through the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10 serve as outlets for water vapor caused by the phase change.

As shown in fig. 5, the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10 each comprise a top surface 11, a plate body 12 and a bottom surface 13 in order to generate the necessary friction to cause the phase change. The plate body 12 extends from the top surface 11 to the bottom surface 13 and determines the total thickness of the first heater plate 8, the intermediate heater plate 9 or the last heater plate 10. The plurality of ridges 15 of the first heater plate 8 are circumferentially equally distributed along the bottom surface 13 of the first heater plate 8. Similarly, the plurality of ridges 15 of the second heater plate 10 are equally circumferentially distributed along the top surface 11 of the last heater plate 10. The plurality of ridges 15 of the intermediate heater plate 9 also are circumferentially equally distributed along the top surface 11 and the bottom surface 13 of the intermediate heater plate 9, corresponding to the plurality of ridges 15 of the first heater plate 8 and the last heater plate 10.

The second end 22 of the pitot tube 19 is positioned such that the second end 22 releases a volume of less contaminated water between the last heater plate 10 and the middle heater plate 9. Rotation of the intermediate heater plate 9 relative to the stationary last heater plate 10 generates friction between the intermediate heater plate 9 and the last heater plate 10. The friction causes an increase in the temperature of the volume of less contaminated water trapped between the intermediate heater plate 9 and the final heater plate 10. As the temperature increases, the heated mixture of water and water vapour is pushed towards the first receiving area between the first heater plate 8 and the intermediate heater plate 9. As the intermediate heater plate 9 rotates relative to the stationary first heater plate 8, heat is generated, thereby generating a quantity of water vapour. In order to maintain the water flow within the cavitation unit 6, the present invention further comprises an equalizer tube 24 extending from the cavitation unit 6 to the centrifugal unit 1. As seen in fig. 5, the equalizer tube 24 includes a first end 25, a tube body 26, and a second end 27, wherein the tube body 26 extends from the first end 25 to the second end 27. To maintain circulation by extracting water from the cavitation unit 6, the first end 25 of the equalizer tube 24 penetrates into the cover plate 14 adjacent to the last heater plate 10. On the other hand, the second end 27 of the equalizer tube 24 is located near the circular opening 4, so that the water is released back into the centrifugal unit 1.

Within the present invention, the volume of water vapor ultimately used to produce purified water is elevated via the plurality of openings 16. In order to utilize the water vapor generated at the cavitation unit 6, the present invention further includes a vapor vent 23 that directs the water vapor into the cooling condenser 17. Preferably, the vapor vent 23 will penetrate into the holding chamber 7. However, the vapor vent 23 may be positioned differently in other embodiments of the invention, as long as the overall function remains the same. Typically, the vapor vent 23 ensures that the cavitation unit 6 and the cooling condenser 17 are in gaseous communication with each other. The cooling condenser 17 receives water vapor as an input, performs a cooling process, and outputs purified water.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
