RECTIFICATION PLANT WITH ARBITRARY ORIENTATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: separation of substances into their components. SUBSTANCE: rectification plant may be applicable in rectification of multicomponent mixtures in oil refining, chemical, food and other industries, both, in earth and in space environment of zero gravity state. Plant has vessel with working fluid, pump for its supply, heater, condensate, vessel with cold distillate, pump for supply of cold distillate. In addition, plant has at least two vortex steam generators and at least two vortex chambers. Vessel with working fluid pump for its supply, heater, vortex steam generators and vortex chambers are hydraulically interconnected. Vessel with cold distillate, pump for its pumping, vortex chambers and condensers are also hydraulically interconnected. Said rectification plant can operate at its any space orientation with high efficiency, automatically controllable and excluding special materials. Performed theoretical calculations and positive results obtained in experiments make it possible to hope for wide application of said plant in various fields of engineering. EFFECT: higher efficiency in use. 1 dwg
