Benefits of technology

"The invention is a device that can integrate and disintegrate solid, liquid, and gaseous components through the use of cavitation. The device has the ability to continuously adjust the supercavitation field, making it effective for a wide range of components and compositions. It can be used for physical mixing, chemical reactions, and the production of new materials. The device can control the cavitation of the mass flows through pressure variation and mass flow components. It can also have multiple reactors and utilize different methods for introducing and discharging components. The device can produce new materials, offer new chemical reactions, and improve reaction control."

Problems solved by technology

Common to all of them, however, is the fact that the generation of cavitation fields using ultrasound is very energy-intensive and therefore can be economically used only for limited quantities.
However, depending on the components used, regulability and / or the maximum admission pressure is limited, and often difficult to achieve.
In addition, in the case of displacement or variation of the turbulence-generating systems, mechanical modification or complete reconstruction, or alternative construction, of the apparatus must be undertaken, and requires frequent and complex optimization.
The mechanical variability of these turbulence-generating systems is achieved at the cost of a simple and cost-effective construction, or necessitates other compromises regarding effectiveness.
For many components this problem has not yet been solved, or cannot be solved without changes to the operating principle of cavitation reactors.

Embodiment Construction

1. Improved Operation

[0097] As compared to other systems of the prior art (DE1009326), higher degrees of mixing at lower pressure have been achieved in experiments with the device (100). The number of cycles of any required repetitions of the process is thereby also reduced. All these simplifications represent an optimization of the cost potential in application. Especially in comparison to energy-intensive cavitation generating methods such as ultrasound and laser technology, the invention represents a low-cost, less energy-intensive method which is simpler to control and install.

2. New and Improved Applications

[0098] In the degassing of water a smaller quantity of dissolved gases (e.g. oxygen) was demonstrated even after a single reaction cycle than with >5 reaction cycles using systems of the prior art.

[0099] In the mixing of hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, faster, more efficient and more long-lasting mixing was achieved. For example, an emulsion of water in fuels h...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the molecular integration or disintegration of solid, liquid and / or gaseous flowing, entrained and / or countercurrent components by means of cavitation in order to modify, build or disintegrate molecular compounds. The invention allows to obtain stable mixtures from immiscible or difficult-to-mix components or to separate such mixtures. The supercavitation molecular reactor allows to build up or disintegrate or modify, with low expenditure in terms of energy, even complex compounds that so far have not been accessible to modification and / or production or only by very extensive multiple processes and a large amount of technical complexity.

Description

[0001] A device for the molecular integration and disintegration of solid, liquid and / or gaseous through-flowing, entrained and / or counter-flowing components by means of cavitation in order to modify, build or disintegrate molecular compounds. The invention offers the possibility of obtaining stable mixtures from immiscible or difficult-to-mix components or to separate such mixtures. Complex compounds which so far could be modified or produced either not at all, or only by very complex multiple processing and with high technical cost and complexity, can also be built, disintegrated or modified by means of the present supercavitation molecular reactor with very low expenditure in terms of energy. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION / PRIOR ART [0002] The invention relates to a device for the molecular integration and disintegration of solid, liquid and / or gaseous through-flowing, entrained and counter-flowing components by means of cavitation. Thereby, a hydrodynamic cavitation field is built ...
