DISINTEGRATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for disintegrating microorganisms to prevent heating system pipelines from being overgrown with biological organisms. SUBSTANCE: disintegrator has casing with suction and delivery branch pipes. Rotor incorporated in casing is provided with longitudinal ridges and slots positioned in alternation and engageable via annular channel with ridges and slots in casing ring. Ridges and slots in rotor and casing ring are made triangular, with vertical and inclined walls. Slots in rotor are inclined in direction of rotation of rotor and slots in casing ring are inclined in opposite direction. Vertical walls of slots in rotor and casing ring have additional longitudinal slots providing development of cavitation voids for hydrodynamic impact disintegration of microorganisms. Heating system utilizes water heated by cavitation. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and reduced consumption of power. 4 dwg
