WIND-DRIVEN DEMINERALISER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C02F1/16 F22B3/06 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to use of wind energy for demineralisation of saline water. A wind-driven demineraliser includes vertical cylindrical housing 1, cover plate 2 from above, and bottom 3. In the centre of the housing there installed is pipe 4 having flange 5 from above, and fixed from below in movable disc 6 with bearing plate 7, the cylindrical part 8 of which is arranged in hole 9 of fixed disc 10 attached to bottom 3. Pipe 4 throughout its height is filled from inside with a heat-accumulating substance with a phase transition. Above movable disc 6 there fixed on pipe 4 is a contact device of a rotary mass exchange unit, which consists of shells 11 with holes, which are attached to pipe 4, cylinders 14 and turbulators 15. Under cover plate 2 there fixed on pipe 4 is round shell 17 interconnected through pipeline 18 and valve 19 to a saline water feed system. Outside housing 1 there fixed is tank 24 with shield 25, which is connected to a demineralised water collection system. Vertical tubes 26 connected to atmosphere are attached to tank 24 from above.

EFFECT: invention allows simplifying a demineraliser design, improving air supply and increasing demineralised water heating.
