Abstract:
A device for separating solids and other foreign bodies from liquids in a pipe conduit includes a screen mounted in the conduit which is conically tapered in the flow direction. A discharge tube for the separated solids, leading to the outside, is connected at the apex of the screen. A barrier is arranged on outer side of screen which extends perpendicularly to the surface of the screen between the individual rows of holes of the screen.
Abstract:
A device for separating solids and other foreign bodies from a liquid in a pipe conduit having a longitudinal axis has a cylindrical screen receivable in the pipe conduit coaxially to the longitudinal axis thereof. The cylindrical screen is closed at one of its ends and defines with the pipe conduit an annular space closed at the ends thereof. An inlet is disposed tangentially to the conduit for admitting liquid containing foreign bodies into the conduit. The inlet communicates with the annular space for supplying the liquid containing foreign bodies thereto, so that at least a portion of the liquid passes through the screen leaving foreign bodies deposited on the screen. A discharge arrangement for discharging from the annular space the foreign bodies separated from the liquid is also provided.
Abstract:
Device for reclaiming potable water from non-potable water such as sea water or brackish water wherein the non-potable water is heated and fed into a centrifugal force field so that vaporization, due to low pressure occurring in a condenser located downstream of the centrifugal force field, takes place at the inner surface of a water ring formed by the centrifugal force field, includes an outer stationary chamber and an inner rotatably driven and rotationally symmetrical chamber, axial feeding means for non-potable water in one of the end faces of the inner chamber, axial discharge means in the end face of the inner chamber opposite the one end face thereof for gaseous medium produced in the inner chamber, the inner chamber having a casing formed with outlet openings for the water concentrated with residues, the inner and outer chambers defining an intermediate space therebetween for receiving the residueconcentrated water through the outlet openings, and an outlet line connected to the intermediate space for discharging the residue-concentrated water therefrom.
