A small processor produces potable water from contaminated water. Its components mount in a hermetically sealed housing, which include a boiler-condenser assembly and a compressor unit. Contaminated water is injected onto one or more aluminum shells' inside surface of the boiler-condenser assembly. Shell rotation enhances boiling heat transfer by causing the water to form thin films on the shells' inside surface. Shell rotation also enhances condensing heat transfer by assisting in removing the purified condensate from the shells' outer surface. The change of phase heat of condensation energy from vapor to liquid transfers through the shells to the boilers to cause boiling. Vapor boiled inside the boiler chambers flows toward the compressor, which raises the vapor's pressure and temperature to drive the process. Shell rotation causes centrifugal force that holds and directs concentrated un-boiled remaining water on the shells' inside walls towards the output pumps. Wipers mounted adjacent each shell's boiler surface smooth contaminated water. Wipers adjacent the condenser surfaces help remove condensate from that surface to present a clean condenser for improved condensation.

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 to be used for domestic, commercial or industrial use.

A scraped heat exchanger apparatus, including a vessel and a plurality of internally cooled plates disposed parallel to each other within the vessel. A rotating shaft is disposed at a central axis of the vessel. A rotating scraper arm, connected to the rotating shaft, moves between adjacent plates. The rotating scraper arm includes a scraper positioned to scrape solids from the outer surfaces of adjacent plates. A cooling fluid flows through an interior of each plate. The cooling fluid cools a gaseous process fluid flowing between adjacent plates. An opening in each of the plates permits the process fluid, and solids removed from the process fluid and scraped by the rotating scraper arm, to pass through the plates.

The present invention corresponds to a condensation device which in turn comprises said condensation device. The condensation device includes a first container (10), a heat exchanger (20) housed inside the first container, a condensing chamber (30) below the heat exchanger and a stirrer (40) housed inside the first container In an embodiment of the invention, the condensation device also comprises a second container, where both containers have a double wall. Moreover, the containers may include flanges for the inlet and outlet of substances into the containers and the heat exchanger, and for monitoring the substances inside the device.

An atmospheric water generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor is for harvesting water from the atmosphere. The purpose of atmospheric water generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor is to provide potable water. The atmospheric generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor includes a housing having a reservoir, a plurality of centrifugal discs, drive components, water pump, heat exchangers, and air filters. The housing reservoir further includes an indication device to determine the water level in device. The centrifugal discs can utilize centripetal forces to hydraulically compress the air, with water, to harvest the water from the atmosphere. The drive components further comprise a hollow shaft to direct the water to the centrifugal discs. In addition, the shape of the centrifugal disc utilizes the compressed air and water exiting the discs to help rotate the discs.

A system and method for separating bitumen from oil sands material is disclosed. The method may include mixing the oil sands material with a solvent in a mix tank then passing it through a centrifuge. The method may also include drying the clean oil sands material and recovering the vapors through a condenser unit. The system may further include passing the mixture of bitumen and solvent through a flash evaporator to produce pure bitumen or leaving it mixed with the higher API hydrocarbon condensate for the production of crude oil.
