Description

Device for optimizing the quality of drinking water produced by reverse osmosis water treatment devices

It turns out that at present, most water treatment or purification systems do not take into account the impact of information on the molecular structure of water.

Indeed, it is today completely scientific, and completely demonstrated, to affirm that water is structured in relation to information, and that this information is conveyed by particles or any other molecule, assembled or not.

We also know today that our body is made up, in number of water molecules, of 99% water, and is therefore very sensitive to the information carried by our daily drinking water.

This is why we are the inventor of an innovative wave-shielded water treatment device called “direct flow” according to registered patents No. FR1870017 and FR1902537.

We remind you that the optimum performance of a reverse osmosis membrane is only obtained after 2 to 3 minutes in the best case.

Indeed, the membrane needs some time to regain the osmotic pressure it loses with each shutdown cycle. And meanwhile, the water produced by a system using a reverse osmosis membrane is a mixture of water made of permeate and concentrate and therefore of very poor quality.

The maximum flow rate, which we offer with our direct flow invention, is 1 liter per minute, which is insufficient for some of our customers.

We therefore had to think about adding a tank that would be under pressure, while having water with an electrical conductivity equivalent to our direct flow system after 2 to 3 minutes of membrane operation.

This observation being made, we have imagined a system which makes it possible to fill the tank only with water of the lowest conductivity and therefore by eliminating the mixture of water permeate/concentrate due to the loss of pressure on the membrane during stop cycles.

We do with the help of a pressure switch, a time relay and 3 solenoid valves.

When the pressure drops in the tank, the pressure switch (4) activates the main solenoid valve (3) as well as the timed relay (4) which last activates the discharge solenoid valve (6) for a variable period of 2 to 5 minutes (settings made when commissioning), then at the end of this period activates the tank solenoid valve (5) and at the same time switches off the discharge solenoid valve (6).

This device was invented to respond to a well-known technical problem in the profession, which is the mixing of permeate and concentrate due to the loss of osmotic pressure.

This mixture increases the conductivity of the water filtered and stored in the tank and is for us a poison which brings parasitic information for our body which does not need it.

There is, to the knowledge of the inventor, no drinking water treatment device for the particular consumer, who is equipped with a device eliminating this mixture before filling a storage tank.

The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback and completely eliminate the problem.

At present, 99% of osmosis units on the market for private use are so-called water reserve devices, and could therefore be equipped, as an option, with our device for optimizing the quality of the water produced. .

This device is made up of hydraulic and electrical components and exists in two versions: a simplified version ( ) and an expanded version ( ) which is more for professional use.

For the simplified version:

Our invention is made up of a 24 volt power supply (1), high pressure switch (2), a main solenoid valve (3), a timed changeover relay (4), a tank solenoid valve (5), a discharge solenoid valve (6), a pressure switch non-return valve (7), a discharge non-return valve (8).

For the augmented version:

Our invention is composed of an electronic sensor (9) and a programmable automaton with relay output (10).

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

There represents the elements of the device placed in a shielded metal box, the 24 volt power supply, the high pressure pressure switch (2), the timed changeover relay (4), the 3 solenoid valves (3), (5) and (6), the 2 non-return valves (7) and (8), the high pressure switch (2), and the hydraulic connections, which are the water inlet (12), the discharge outlet (13), the filtered water outlet (15), the membrane supply (16) and the filtered water inlet (17).

There represents the block diagram of an osmotic membrane (11) connected to our device at (16) for its water supply, at (17) for its water outlet and at (13) for its rejection outlet. There is also shown the tank (14), the 3 solenoid valves (3), (5) and (6), the 2 non-return valves (7) and (8), the high pressure switch (2). It also indicates the discharge outlet (13), the filtered water outlet (15).

Preferably, the invention relates to a device for optimizing the quality of the water produced by reverse osmosis water treatment devices, a quality which is greatly reduced by the mixture of purified water and waste which is returned in a tank.

Said device eliminates the possibility of filling a tank with the mixture of permeate and concentrate each time a reverse osmosis membrane is repressurized. Mixture of purified water and waste water which is a real poison for us.

This poison, ignored by the majority of consumers, is currently more or less concentrated depending on the volume of the tank, the flow rate and quality of the membrane and the number of small withdrawals that are made in a day.

We mean by small racking, racking in the glass which, in view of this well-known problem in the profession, should be prohibited.

Therefore, to our knowledge, before our invention, there was no device making it possible to guarantee the consumer the impossibility of having in his tank water mixed with more or less toxins and other poisons due to the very operation of osmosis. reverse.

The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for optimizing the quality of drinking water purified by a reverse osmosis and reserve device and which can be adapted to all types of brand of domestic and/or industrial osmosis units.
