OCEANWATER DESALINATION DISTILLATION POWERED BY (HHO) HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN
20210001243 · 2021-01-07 ·

The State of California has been in severe drought conditions yet ironically it is surrounded by oceanwater. Existing desalination systems require expensive electrical power to produce clean potable water. This invention creates its own electrical power input, and even EXTRA ELECTRICAL POWER to supplement California's electrical power grid (part of this inventor's other U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/598,965.

Desalination and Distillation are two concepts that now belong to public domain and are not owned by anyone. Oceanwater is boiled and salt is left behind, in the process producing clean potable water. Steam is cooled down using cooling coils similar to car radiator, using a blower fan and oceanwater sprinklers.

Connecting to and/or extending into an interior space of the fraction collector is an end of a vertically-extending passageway. This passageway is functionally connected at an other end to a lower-end entry portal. An outer cover substantially covers the cooling spiral, fraction collector, and a portion of the vertically-extending passageway, excepting for a top portal, a side exit portal, at least one cooling spiral intake, and at least one cooling spiral outtake.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING DIELECTRIC FLUIDS USED FOR IMMERSION COOLING
20200406175 · 2020-12-31 ·

A method of and system for recovering a dielectric fluid used for immersion cooling of electronic devices, the method including filtering the dielectric fluid to remove a first group of solid contaminants; distilling the filtered dielectric fluid in one or more distillation tanks to produce a vaporized dielectric fluid; separating the vaporized dielectric fluid from less volatile contaminants, such that the vaporized dielectric fluid is introduced as a condensate into a circulation tank; circulating the condensate by pumping the condensate from the circulation tank through one or more filters; filtering the circulating condensate through the filter(s) to remove a second group of contaminants; and returning the filtered condensate to the circulation tank.

Microfabricated passively and/or actively cooled apparatus for highly efficient, low cost atmospheric water generators

An atmospheric water generation system with high efficiency is based on a counter flowing heat exchanger including multiple cold channels, each cold channel surrounded by multiple hot channels. The hot and warm gases flow in opposite directions, allowing the cool dry air to contribute to cooling the warm humid air to the dew point. Thermoelectric or passive cooling of the warm humid air, and hydrophobic surfaces in a cyclone structure also contribute in increasing the efficiency of the water generation system.

WATER VENDING APPARATUS

The dispensing device is in fluid communication with the fluid vapor distillation apparatus and the product water from the fluid vapor distillation apparatus is dispensed by the dispensing device.

METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING HEAT BETWEEN TWO OR MORE MEDIA AND SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD
20200318848 · 2020-10-08 ·

The present invention consists of a method for producing heat transfer between two or more media and a device or system for carry out said method, usable for air conditioning a space, or any use that requires heat transfer between two or more media, and may be liable to be used for domestic, commercial or industrial use.

PHOTOTHERMAL DESALINATION SYSTEM
20200308022 · 2020-10-01 ·

A photothermal desalination system includes a seawater harvester that harvests cold seawater from below the ocean thermocline. Heat transfer coils are filled with the cold seawater and steam from a steam generator (boiler) condenses upon interaction with the heat transfer coils to produce fresh water. To achieve a minimal environmental footprint, the steam generator produces steam from the harvested seawater using peanut oil that is heated to just below its smoke point. Heating the peanut oil can be accomplished using concentrated solar power. The peanut oil can be stored in insulated in-ground containers. In addition to using the steam to generate fresh water, some of the steam can be used to generate electricity which can be used to power various components of the system. Moreover, the system can produce other useful products from otherwise wasteful outputs, including biofuel and glycerin from peanut oil sludge and sea salt from brine water.
