Water desalination system and method for fast cooling saline water using turbines

Title: Water desalination system and method for fast cooling saline water using turbines

Abstract

A desalinating system and method is disclosed. The desalination system comprises using a turbo freeze or fast-cooling process to freeze saline water droplets and separate salt crystals from pure water crystals, wherein said system provides for simultaneous injection of saline water droplets and a chilled refrigerant into a freezing chamber at a slip velocity sufficient to reduce the size of the saline water droplets to an optimal diameter.

Turbine systems and methods for using internal leakage flow for cooling

Patent Hernandez, Nestor [Schenectady, NY]; Gazzillo, Clement [Schenectady, NY]; Boss, Michael J [Ballston Spa, NY]; ...

A cooling system for a turbine with a first section and a second section. The first section may include a first line for diverting a first flow with a first temperature from the first section, a second line for diverting a second flow with a second temperature less than the first temperature from the first section, and a merged line for directing a merged flow of the first flow and the second flow to the second section.

Purification of ultra-high saline and contaminated water by multi-stage ion concentration polarization (ICP) desalination

Patent Kim, Bumjoo; Han, Jongyoon; Kwak, Rhokyun; ...

A water stream is passed between two juxtaposed similar ion exchange membranes (AEMs or CEMs), forming an ion depletion and ion enrichment zones when an electric field is applied. As cations are selectively transferred through the CEMs, for example, anions are relocated in order to achieve electro-neutrality, resulting in the concentration drop (increase) in ion depletion (enrichment) zone. Trifurcation of the output channel allows collection of concentrated, dilute and intermediate streams, with the intermediate stream serving as input to the next stage of a serialized implementation.
