Description

device for handling fluids

The present invention relates to devices for manipulating fluids, such as tubes for separating soluble components of fluids, activating molecules, purifying and replacing separated soluble components with desired components, and mixing fluids.

Various types of devices are known in the prior art for handling or processing fluids, such as separating soluble components from the fluid, activating molecules, clarification reactions, replacing separated components with desired components and mixing the fluid. Typically, these processes are implemented using separate chemical processes or electromechanical devices with pools, mixers, heating and cooling and/or compressors.

However, these prior art solutions have some problems, such as the need for chemicals or additional energy. Additionally, prior art devices are complicated to manufacture due to their complex internal structures.

The objective of the present invention is to alleviate and eliminate problems associated with the known prior art. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a device for rapid and efficient removal of soluble components from a fluid flow, activating and clarifying molecules and/or replacing the removed molecules with desired components such as air or oxygen, for example This is possible with very low energy consumption and without any additional external energy, using only the kinetic and potential energy of the fluid flow.

The object of the present invention can be achieved by the features of the independent claims.

The present invention relates to a device for manipulating fluids according to claim 1.

The invention also relates to a method for treating fluids (even if in relation to an apparatus) as described in connection with the embodiments and drawings, and in particular to a method according to claim 21.

According to an embodiment, the device includes a fluid intake, a nozzle section for creating a vacuum, removing dissolved components and activating molecules, injecting gas or liquid and mixing with the flow, and a nozzle section for desired reaction and replacement dissolving of the removed components. Includes a purification area. Fast and efficient purification is achieved with low energy consumption. In most cases, existing pressure, potential and kinetic energy can be used without additional power. Possible applications include nature, industry, mining, agriculture, fish farms, municipal and domestic water treatment, treatment and disinfection of various fluids, etc. Any field where some fluid treatment and purification is required. Curved nozzles with a throttle section can be applied, for example, to fuel injection in jet and other combustion engines to treat a homogeneous mixture of fuel and air or oxygen. However, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited thereto, and this is merely illustrative.

According to an embodiment, a device for processing fluid comprises a tubular fluid tube having a main input and a main output for guiding a first fluid between the first input and the first output. A fluid tube has a longitudinal axis between the first input and output and includes a curved nozzle within the fluid tube. The curved nozzle advantageously acts as a first manipulator and has curved internal surfaces and decreasing cross sections for fluid splitting. The curved nozzle preferably includes at least two nozzle channels, each channel having leading and trailing edges, curved towards the flow between the leading and trailing edges. The surface shape is concave toward the longitudinal axis. Additionally, the cross area of the channel is smaller at the leading edge than at the trailing edge, or at least converges towards the trailing edge. Due to its shape, the channel provides a pressure difference between the leading and trailing edges and therefore accelerated flows through the curved nozzles according to Bernoulli’s law. During use, the pressure is less at the trailing edge than at the leading edge, providing a low pressure area for the flow around and downstream of the trailing edge. This causes the flow of the first fluid through the nozzle to separate the soluble components of the fluid in use. In more detail, the separation causes molecular activation and chemical reaction, further driving the reactant material further into the middle of the fluid flow stream, where the reactant material and mixed particles can be removed, for example, by a tube separator or the like. Advantageously, the fluid flow between the main input and output is arranged in a well-controlled seal.

The final removal of solid particles formed by chemical reactions is completed by flotation, filtration and sedimentation, and soluble gases separated by gravity differential or blowing. Flotation attachment and degassing may also be included in the present invention. Other methods of removal of solid particles are not discussed here.

To avoid unwanted or even dangerous oscillations of the flow, the channels of the curved nozzle are advantageously arranged symmetrically around the tube center line.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the curved nozzle also includes an aperture in the low pressure area, ie the trailing edge area. When the opening is located in a low pressure area, this arrangement allows the flow of a first fluid through the curved nozzle and the pressure difference between the leading and trailing edges and the accelerated flow to force the second fluid through the opening back into the fluid tube. Inhalation creates an inhalation effect during use. This causes the flow of the first fluid through the curved nozzle to purify the fluid in use. It should be noted that the opening can be arranged in connection with one or both channels of the curved nozzle. Naturally, there may be multiple openings in the channel. Advantageously both channels contain their own openings so that the openings are arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal axis. It should also be noted that, according to the embodiment, the device comprises two nozzles and the opening is arranged in connection with a second nozzle, or alternatively there is only one nozzle in the device with an opening. In some embodiments, the device may include a plurality of curved nozzles, with only some of the curved nozzles having openings.

According to an exemplary embodiment, one two-channel nozzle is used for soluble component separation, molecular activation, liquid matrix purification and replacement dissolution. Process efficiency can be improved with dual two-channel nozzles connected in series and flow suspension between them. The first nozzle may be used, for example, to separate soluble components and activate molecules driven by kinetic energy and flow suspension. The second nozzle can be used to aspirate and mix the desired gas in the middle of the main flow, for example by means of a vacuum generated by kinetic energy. It should be noted that the first and second nozzles can also be used in the reverse order. Clarification reactions occur immediately after the nozzle. Finally, the overdosed gas is dissolved in the purified liquid.

The first fluid may be a liquid, such as water, which may contain soluble components such as radon, drug residues, iron, sulfur, fluorine, manganese, chlorine and calcium. The second fluid may be a gas, such as air, oxygen or ozone or another chemical, for example. However, the present invention is not limited to these fluids and is merely illustrative.

Additionally, according to an embodiment, the device also includes a throttle as a third manipulator, wherein the throttle causes opposing sidewalls defining the fluid tube to approach or touch each other to form the throttle in the fluid tube. It is formed by deforming the fluid tube walls, such as pressing them. Advantageously, the throttle is a symmetrical throttle about the tube center line. Throttles are used for example to dissolve, activate, intensify chemical reactions or mix particles or different fluids in a flow.

Additionally, the device may include a flow suspension section connected to a first, second or third manipulator. The flow suspension section has a cross area, where the cross area of at least some points of the flow suspension section is different from the cross area of the manipulator connected to the flow suspension section. The shape of the flow suspension section can be, for example, a directly extended tube or a conical tube with a cross area that varies depending on the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tube. The flow suspension section converts kinetic energy into pressure and vice versa due to its variable cross area and according to Bernoulli's law. Additionally, the flow suspension section isolates the desired processing functions of the manipulators from fluctuations in pressure and mass flow and other environmental disturbances. Therefore, turbulence due to unstable features and high-velocity flows is eliminated. It also acts as an energy buffer between functions, isolates the equipment from the effects of unstable flows and pressures, provides the retention time necessary for the desired reaction, and protects against molecular and biological agents such as viruses and bacteria, for example in ozone disinfection. Improves the meeting probability of elements.

It should be noted that advantageously the device with the first, second and/or third manipulators and possible flow suspension section is one piece of material. Additionally, the first, second and/or third manipulators and possibly the flow suspension section are made by modifying the shape of the tubular fluid tube. Accordingly, the handling of fluid between the manipulators can advantageously be configured to take place seamlessly in a closed state without delays and buffering functions. It offers advantages such as well-controlled chemistry, fast and efficient process, simple structure (integrated, no intermediate actuators required, no moving parts) and the possibility to avoid all kinds of uncertainties and harmful residues after purification.

Furthermore, according to the invention the processing steps immediately follow one another in the device in the following order:

- Separation of soluble components,

- Activation of molecules,

- purification reaction, and

- Alternative dissolution of purified fluid with desired components.

In this context, dissolution refers to the interaction of a fluid, for example a solvent, with dissolved molecules. These include various types of intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic dipole interactions, and van der Waals forces. Dissolution can also refer to the dissolution of a solvent, for example a fluid with dissolved molecules.

Solubility quantifies the dynamic equilibrium state achieved when the dissolution rate is equal to the precipitation rate. Solubility units represent concentration (e.g. mass per volume (mg/L), molarity (mol/L), etc.).

A soluble component refers to the dissolved molecular composition of the component. The dissolved molecular composition may be in solid, gaseous, or liquid form within the fluid.

Separating soluble components from a fluid refers to removing the dissolved molecular composition of the components.

Molecular activation refers to the process by which a molecule is prepared or excited for a subsequent reaction, such as oxidation. Molecular activation (e.g. drug residues) is generally achieved, for example by heating and/or by chemicals, but according to the invention, molecular activation is achieved by the kinetic energy of the fluid flowing in the curved nozzle and/or Alternatively, it is achieved using potential energy alone, where the curved nozzle causes pressure differences and low pressure regions in the flow as discussed elsewhere herein.

Purification here refers to the process by which activated molecules react with relevant substances (e.g. oxygen) and prepare them for removal through precipitation, flotation or filtration. Purification does not remove dissolved species.

Replacement dissolution here refers to the dissolution of the overdosed substance into a space free of separated soluble components.

In one embodiment, the device provides vacuum pockets or low-pressure zone(s) of the side flow from the suction and nozzle channels within the curved flow, thereby performing gas and chemical supply in the middle of the main flow, thereby achieving molecular absorption. Ensures efficient and immediate separation, mixing and activation of soluble components.

According to an embodiment, the output of the curved nozzle or nozzle channels of the device is non-circular, non-round or elliptical. This configuration allows the flow stream to remain non-spinning, so that separation, purification and mixing, for example, remain effective. Furthermore, according to an advantageous embodiment, the two channels of the curved nozzle are each symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the flow tube.

Furthermore, according to an advantageous embodiment, the device with the first, second and/or third manipulators is made of one piece of material. Additionally, the first, second and/or third manipulators are manufactured by modifying the shape of the tubular fluid tube, which allows the device to be manufactured easily and quickly. Additionally, the device is arranged to ensure a seamless seal of the fluid between the manipulators to avoid external or other undesirable influences.

Still according to embodiments, the device may comprise a combined separation and purification zone comprising at least one nozzle and at least one throttle arranged sequentially.

The curved two-channel nozzle according to the present invention creates vacuum pockets in the suction and side flow channels inside the curved flow to perform gas and chemical supply in the middle of the main flow for efficient and immediate separation of soluble components, molecular activation and Ensure mixing. The purge and replacement melting sections run seamlessly, for example immediately after the nozzle zone. High doses of purification substances such as air, oxygen, ozone and carbon oxide are used to dissolve in purified water or other liquids. The device may have a variety of installation options depending on the fluid to be processed and the processing needs.

It should also be noted that, according to embodiments, the device may also comprise a tube separator for conducting the soluble components of the fluid separated by the curved nozzle upstream. The tube separator is advantageously positioned essentially in the center of the tubular fluid tube since the soluble components of the fluid separated by the curved nozzle according to the invention drift into the middle part of the flow.

The present invention provides advantages over known prior art techniques such as rapid and efficient separation and removal of soluble components, activation and purification of molecules, and/or replacement of removed molecules with desired components. Additionally, the device can be applied to challenging flow situations requiring component separation and removal, molecular activation, purification of the separated components, and replacement dissolution by desirable molecules. Examples include removing soluble radon gas from groundwater and replacing it with air. Another example is the separation and removal, activation and purification of drug residues from wastewater. Additionally, it can achieve 100% virus and bacteria reduction disinfection with low ozone consumption, without leaving any ozone residue and without emitting ozone into the surrounding air. Disinfection efficiency is based on the extremely high meeting probability of microorganisms and ozone in the nozzle and purification zone. Many other components such as iron, sulfur, fluorine, manganese, chlorine and calcium can be separated and activated from various water matrices using the device according to the invention.

The devices may, for example, be installed individually or in water pipes or other flow pipes. There are various design options depending on processing requirements and conditions. An exemplary installation includes a nozzle with two channels for soluble component separation, molecular activation, and purification via an aspirated second fluid, such as air. This nozzle can be used individually in many other devices and liquid handling systems.

The device according to the invention allows for fast and efficient separation and removal of soluble components, molecular activation and purification, and finally replacement of the separated molecular composition with the desired component (e.g. air gas). The purification steps follow one another seamlessly under efficient, well-controlled containment. Features in the device are designed so that no fittings, cross-sectional structures or moving parts are required at and between the processing steps of fluid processing. Manufacturing is simple and fast, and maintenance costs are low. Washing may be performed using flushing and/or washing machines.

The aeration efficiency of the device is also high due to functions such as vacuum, soluble component separation, molecular activation, mid-flow air intake and replacement dissolution by the kinetic energy of the mass flow. In functional tests, saturation of air gas was achieved within 1 second. Energy consumption is minimal compared to current technology. In flowing water, such as in a river or water pipe, aeration is carried out solely by the kinetic or potential energy of the mass flow without any additional energy. Additionally, air is sucked from the water surface to ensure clean air dissolution and prevent reactants and biogas from dissolving back into the water as in prior art aerators. Furthermore, according to an advantageous embodiment, the device is able to separate the soluble components and dissolve air in water immediately after separation, which means a much higher dissolution efficiency.

Additionally, soluble components (e.g. in natural waters), including for example humus, can be separated with high efficiency from water and air gases dissolved therein. Biomass attaches to air and reaction bubbles and floats to the surface. Additionally, microplastics can be removed from seawater by the device by flotation according to the invention. Additionally, many components such as iron, calcium and fiber can be separated from process waters (in industrial process water purification) by separation, activation, purification and flotation according to the invention. Adhesion of suspended particles begins already immediately after air intake or supply with a high probability of meeting.

In addition, according to the device of the present invention, dissolution is fast, efficiency is high, and energy consumption is low for all soluble gases such as oxygen, ozone, carbon oxide, nitrogen, etc. The device ensures uniform dissolution of the treated liquid. This is a very important function, for example in industrial water treatment and disinfection. According to the present invention, bacteria and viruses can be treated uniformly without significant ozone residue, killing up to 100%, and energy and ozone can be saved. Bacteria and viruses can be killed 100% in various water matrices by ozone supply or inhalation due to the high meeting activity of the substances provided by the device according to the invention. Overdosed ozone as well as other feed gases can be recycled directly into the curved nozzle of the closed device according to the invention.

The device according to the invention can also be integrated into domestic water supply systems, such as taps and showers, for example to enrich water with fresh air. Air-treated water has a wellness and health effect on the skin and metabolism due to the high concentration of air gases and the efficient transfer of effects of air gases through wet contact.

Additionally, the device according to the invention improves the flotation process due to its high performance and uniform mixing and dissolution of gases and chemicals. The liquid to be treated by flotation can be pre-treated with the desired chemicals to create microbubbles for flotation attachment and guided throughout the device to supply air. The device according to the invention ensures separation efficiency and low energy consumption by continuously processing and separating without stopping the flow. Particles attach to air bubbles already in the device, from the nozzle area to the outlet or main output. The reactive gas also undergoes flotation.

The device according to the invention is compact and its structure has no moving parts. The shapes are smooth without cross-sectional supports, and the structure remains simple and clean because there are no mechanical parts that collect impurities or unwanted particles. There is almost no pollution or loss. Product cost is low compared to other current solutions.

However, the invention itself will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, along with their construction and method of operation, together with the additional objects and advantages of the invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments according to the accompanying drawings:

It should be understood that there are many possibilities for arranging fluid processing functions or processing devices in device 100 in accordance with the present invention. 1 to 12 illustrate the principles of an exemplary apparatus 100 for fluid processing according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, wherein Figures 1 to 3 illustrate some basic embodiments.

1 to 12 illustrate the principle of an exemplary device 100 for fluid processing according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, wherein the device comprises a main device for guiding a first fluid between a first input and a first output. It includes a tubular fluid tube (101) with an input (102) and a main output (103). The fluid tube has a longitudinal axis 104 between the first input and output.

The device also includes a curved nozzle 105 in a fluid tube 101 with a curved inner surface and decreasing cross-section as a flow divider and a first manipulator. The curved nozzle 105 includes at least two nozzle channels 105A, 105B, each channel having a leading edge 105C and a trailing edge 105D, the leading and trailing edges 105C, 105D) and has a curved shape towards the flow, and has a convex shape in the direction of the flow, as can be seen, for example, in the side views of Figures 1 to 3. Accordingly, the cross area of channels 105A and 105B is smaller at the leading edge 105C than at the trailing edge 105D, and thus the cross area between the leading and trailing edges 105C and 105D is smaller. This provides a pressure differential and accelerated flow through the curved nozzle channel 105C in use, resulting in increased pressure at the outer channel surface of the leading edge 105C. Accordingly, the device provides a low pressure area 106 around and downstream of the trailing edge 105D, thereby allowing the flow of the first fluid through the nozzle along with the curved high-velocity flow through the trailing edge 105C to reduce the fluid in use. Allow the soluble components to separate. In particular, the device separates the soluble components of the fluid into the middle of the fluid flow stream.

2 (one opening) and 3 (two openings), the device further comprises one or more openings 107 in the low pressure area 106 in the trailing edge area 105D as a second manipulator. and thereby induce a suction effect during use due to the flow of the first fluid through the curved nozzle. Due to the suction effect, the device forces a second fluid, such as a gas, into the fluid tube through the opening 107 due to the pressure difference and accelerated flow between the leading and trailing edges 105C, 105D. Can be used for inhalation. A device with at least one opening 107 can be effectively used for integrated purification of fluids.

Device 100 without gas injection holes or openings 104 shown in FIG. 1 can maximize separation of soluble components and molecular activation. Figure 2 shows a combination of the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 3, which means that component separation and molecular activation are maximized on one side and gas injection takes place in a vacuum pocket or low pressure region on the other.

Additionally, the device may comprise at least one throttle 109 as a third manipulator, for example in the case of FIGS. 4 to 8 and FIGS. 10 and 11 . The throttle 109 is for example to enhance dissolution and activation and to enhance chemical reactions and mixing.

Curved nozzle(s) 105 may have two curved nozzle channels 105A, 105B of the nozzle such that the opposing side walls defining the fluid tube are close to or even touching each other in the region of the longitudinal axis 104 of the fluid tube. It should be noted that it is advantageously formed by deformation, such as pressing the fluid tube walls to form . Deformation of the fluid tube walls forms first and second deformation lines 108A, 108B. Deformation lines 108A, 108B are lines closer to the opposing side walls than other parts of the deformed tube wall in the curved nozzle channels 105A, 105B.

Additionally, the throttle 109 may advantageously be modified by pressing the fluid tube walls such that the opposing side walls defining the fluid tube are brought close to or even in contact with each other to form the throttle 109 within the fluid tube 101. is formed The throttle 109 is advantageously symmetrical about the longitudinal axis 104 . Deformation of the fluid tube walls for the throttle forms a third deformation line (as third manipulator 109 or throttle). The third deformation line 113 is a line that is closer to the opposite side wall than to other parts of the deformed tube wall of the third manipulator.

For example, as can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 7 , device 100 may also include a throttle section 110 having one or more throttles 109 . According to an advantageous embodiment, the distance 111 between successive throttles 109 within the throttle section 110 is essentially the diameter 112 of the unstrained fluid tube 101 . Nevertheless, as can be seen in Figure 5, the nozzle 105 and the following throttles (deformation lines 108A, 108B, 113) can be pressed in oblique directions with respect to the longitudinal axis 104 of the tube. This smoothes flow, reduces turbulence and losses, and improves processing efficiency.

According to an embodiment, device 100 may include two or more curved nozzles 105, for example as in the case of Figures 6 and 7. Preferably, the downstream curved nozzle 105 includes an opening 107 in the low pressure region 106, but other sequences may also apply. For example, device 100 shown in Figure 6 is suitable for separation and purification. In fact, the device 100 shown in Figure 6 is capable of performing the steps of separation, activation, purification and dissolution. Additionally, as shown for example in FIGS. 4 , 5 and 7 , the throttle section 110 may be positioned downstream of a curved nozzle 105 or two curved nozzles 105 as in the case of FIG. 7 in particular. It can be placed in between. For example, device 100 shown in Figure 7 is well suited for separation, activation, suspension, purification, and replacement dissolution.

According to embodiments, the first deformation line 108A (of the nozzle(s)) is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 104 of the fluid tube 101, for example as in the case of FIGS. 1-4 , or, as for example in the case of FIG. 5 , the first deformation line 108A (of the nozzle(s)) may be disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis 104 . The angle range is typically 30°-90°, preferably about 60°.

Furthermore, according to embodiments, the third deformation line 113 (of the throttle(s)) is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 104 of the fluid tube 101, for example as in the case of Figure 4; Alternatively, the third deformation line 113 (of the throttle(s)) may be arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis 104, for example as in the case of FIG. 5 . The angle range is typically 30°-90°, preferably about 60°.

The first deformation lines 108 of the two successive curved nozzles 105 may also be at an angle to each other, where the angle is 60°-90°, and advantageously are essentially orthogonal to each other. Additionally, the third deformation lines 113 of the two successive throttles 109 can also be arranged at an angle to each other, where the angle is advantageously 60°-90°. This results in a phase difference and, for example, a better mixing effect.

As can be seen in Figure 10, the device 100 includes two curved nozzles 105, where the second curved nozzle 105 located downstream of the first curved nozzle 105 is connected to the fluid tube. It has a leading edge 105C disposed in a downstream direction within 101 and a trailing edge 105D disposed in an upstream direction within the tube, wherein the trailing edge 105D is positioned essentially upstream of the first curved nozzle 105. ) is facing. This structure, in particular the second downstream nozzle, advantageously creates a collection effect of the fluid in use and functions as a fourth manipulator.

Device 100 may also include a flow suspension section 114, as can be seen, for example, in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8. The flow suspension section 114 is advantageously arranged in connection with a nozzle and/or a manipulator such as a throttle. The flow suspension section 114 has a cross area that varies along the suspension section 114, and/or the cross area is a cross section of the manipulator connected to the flow suspension section 114 at at least some points of the flow suspension section 114. It is different from the area. In some cases, the flow suspension section 114 may be a straight tube, such that the manipulator coupled to the flow suspension section 114 has a cross area that is different from the cross area of the suspension section 114 at at least some points within the manipulator. .

The flow suspension section 114 advantageously isolates the desired processing functions from pressure and mass flow fluctuations and other environmental disturbances. Additionally, the flow suspension section 114 with a varying cross area converts kinetic energy into pressure and vice versa according to Bernoulli's law. The flow suspension section 114 also eliminates turbulence due to unstable features and high-velocity flows. It can also function as an energy buffer between functions. In addition, it not only isolates the equipment from unstable flow and pressure effects, but also provides the holding time necessary for the desired reaction and improves the probability of meeting suspended fouling with molecular and biological elements such as viruses and bacteria.

The device 100 shown in FIGS. 8 and 12 includes a vortex flow nozzle 115, which can be effectively used for purification. The vortex flow nozzle is formed by pressing and twisting the fluid tube walls to achieve a two-channel twist nozzle or a vortex flow nozzle. Although the dissolving zone and fitting portion are illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 12, the dissolving zone and fitting portion are also disposed in devices 100 shown in other figures, although not shown in the other figures. You must understand that it can happen.

The device 100 shown in Figures 8 and 12 can be used in a very effective manner for, for example, separation, activation, suspension, purification and replacement dissolution.

8 and 12 show an example of an integrated purification model of the device 100 according to the invention, in which separation of soluble components and molecular activation are carried out in the first curved nozzle 105 and in the throttle section 111 It shows that purging is performed in a vortex flow nozzle (115) with gas suction (107). Vortex flow nozzles 115 are pressed with cross presses as shown in FIG. 5C. This forms a two-head vortex flow with purifying action as shown in Figures 8 and 12. A low pressure region 106 forms around the tube center line immediately after the eddy flow exerts pressure downstream. An individual vortex flow nozzle 115 is shown in Figure 12 and the curved flows are shown in Figure 14.

7 and 8 show an example of an integrated purification device 100, in which separation of soluble components and molecular activation are carried out in a first curved nozzle 105 and a throttle section 110, opening 107. Purification is carried out in the second curved nozzle 105 by gas intake through the gas. The second curved nozzle 105 is advantageously pressed, for example with a cross press, as shown in FIG. 8 . This forms a two-head vortex flow with purge as illustrated in Figures 12 and 14. A vacuum pocket or low pressure area 106 forms around the tube center line immediately after the vortex flow is pressurized downstream. The individual vortex flow nozzle is shown in Figure 12 and the curved flows are shown in Figure 14.

Figure 10 shows an example of a device 100 with two curved nozzles 105 arranged sequentially and in different directions, with a combined separation and purification zone. A second curved nozzle 105 is positioned downstream to create a collection effect, as disclosed elsewhere herein. The high pressure region is denoted by hp, the smaller or lower pressure region is denoted by Ip, in this example the liquid flow is denoted by w and the gas flow is denoted by a.

Figure 11 shows an example of a device 100 with an inclined throttle 109 for enhancement of the low pressure zone. The device also includes an opening for gas intake, for example. Figure 13 illustrates the flow and main functions generated by accelerated kinetic energy in the device 100 of Figure 11, where liquid flow is denoted by W, separation and activation zones are denoted by se, and suction by low pressure is denoted by su.

FIG. 14 shows an example of curved flows of device 100 with the two-channel vortex flow nozzle described in FIGS. 8 and 12 . A low pressure region is formed around the tube center line due to the two-head vortex flow.

Figure 15 shows in principle a two-channel individual curved nozzle, especially for separation, which during use creates a high pressure difference in the curved nozzle channels, diverting the flow into high-pressure (black) and low-pressure (grey) flow sections. Separate or divide. As with other devices described herein, the cross-sections of the flow channels are formed out of circles to eliminate spinning effects in curved flows.

Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of flow through curved nozzle channels. The flows are curved to create the separation force pressure and suction, where p is the pressure vector, s is the suction vector, and a is the flow acceleration.

Figure 17 illustrates the principle of the flow suspension section 114, where a high-velocity flow 11 is guided into the flow suspension section 114 through the main input 102. Figure 18 illustrates the principle of the counter flow suspension section or device 114, in which a high-velocity flow 11 is directed to the counter flow suspension section or device 114 via two essentially opposing inputs. Figure 19 illustrates the principle of the flow suspension section or device 114 as part of an integrated purification device. Flow suspension section 114 and counter flow suspension section or device 114 function as energy pockets 13. The interface of kinetic energy and pressure energy is denoted by 12, and the energy is converted from kinetic energy to pV according to Bernoulli's law. Again, the flow exiting the suspension section 114 or flow suspension section or device 114 is directed through the main output 103 as a high-velocity flow 14.

Figure 20 illustrates the principle of suction generation in a device 100 with a nozzle 105, where the low pressure space is denoted by Ip, the high pressure by hp and the low pressure region (zone) 106. Figure 21 also illustrates the principle of flow and suction generation in the device shown in Figure 4, in which the suction is doubled by the throttle channels functioning as flow dividers compared to the general presentation in Figure 20. Suction can be doubled by replicating the parallel curved flow.

In Figure 15 an individual curved two-channel nozzle 105 is shown, and in Figure 16 the associated main flow through the nozzle 105 is shown. The nozzle converts pressure into kinetic energy by accelerating the main flow. The curved channels create pressure on the outer surface of the channel and suction on the inner surface, and the pressure difference creates a strong separation effect from the main flow. Additionally, vacuum pockets are formed at the nozzle tip and side channels due to the suction vector and flow acceleration. The vacuum pockets created by the pressure vector and the suction vector and the separation effect cause removal of soluble components and activation of molecules.

The curved two-channel nozzle can be formed at an angle as shown in Figure 5. The angled design creates a phase shift in the divided flows, which enhances separation and mixing, but on the other hand causes some imbalance, especially at high flow speeds. Curved nozzle functions are sensitive and therefore require the use of suspension sections or modules to isolate the nozzle from piping sway.

The flow suspension section 114 isolates the desired processing functions from pressure and mass flow fluctuations and other environmental disturbances. Suspension separation can be established between the front and back of the entire equipment or device 100 and between the processing steps or manipulators. The flow suspension section 114 has the following functions:

- Converts kinetic energy into pressure and vice versa.

- Eliminates turbulence caused by unstable functions and high-speed flows.

- It is an energy buffer between functions.

- Isolate equipment from unstable flow and pressure effects.

- Provides the retention time necessary for desired reactions.

- Increases the probability of meeting molecular and biological elements such as viruses and bacteria.

An example of flow suspension section 114 is shown in FIG. 19. An exemplary installation of an integrated purification device 100 comprising a flow suspension section 114 between the stages of activation and purification is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 .

22 and 23 illustrate the principle of the device 100 according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which the gas supply through the openings 107 is arranged at different points, so that in Fig. 22 the openings are located further upstream than in the installation in Fig. 23. It is placed more in . In both cases, the flow suspension section 114 provides a very smooth water and air mixture (if the first fluid is water and the second fluid is air, but these could of course be other media). Additionally, in both Figures 22 and 23, the pressure of the flow is converted to kinetic energy in step 116 according to Bernoulli's law. Because air is supplied to the flow, a gravitational reduction of the flow (change in specific gravity of the flow) occurs in step 117, which causes further acceleration and thus a corresponding purge as described elsewhere herein. Additionally, in step 118, the kinetic energy is converted back to pressure according to Bernoulli's law (due to changes in the cross-sectional area of the flow tube and manipulator), which in turn changes the specific gravity of the fluid, causing acceleration in step 119. .

In the device 100 shown in FIG. 23 , the opening 107 for the “downstream” air supply (flow) is located at the connection of the second curved nozzle 105 . It should be noted that there is a separation and purification step between stages 116 and 117 due to ) being located downstream of the first curved nozzle 105 .

It should be understood that there are no size, mass flow or liquid limitations. All kinds of fittings can be applied to the main input 102 and output 103 of the device 100 as well as the lateral flow through the opening 107 of the device. An example of an embodiment is shown in Figure 3, where the device includes an integrated curved nozzle 105, gas injection holes or openings 107 and vacuum pockets or low pressure region(s). Simple fluid purification consisting of soluble component separation and molecular activation, as well as some degree of purification and replacement dissolution can be performed.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the above-described embodiments, and various advantages of the present invention have been demonstrated. It is clear that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, but includes all possible embodiments within the spirit and scope of the spirit and scope of the present invention and the following claims.

The features recited in the dependent claims can be freely combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
