Apparatus and method to remove contaminates from a fluid

A method to purify fluid comprising;

• a. obtaining an apparatus with at least one inlet and at least two outlets connected to an energy source that can concentrate energy on a contaminated fluid;
• b. flowing the contaminated fluid through the inlet into the apparatus;
• c. using the energy source on the contaminated fluid inside the apparatus to cause at least a portion of the contaminated fluid to change into a purified vapor state inside the apparatus;
• d. using at least two unobstructed flow paths inside the apparatus wherein density separates at least a portion of the heavier contaminated fluid from the lighter purified vapor state;
• and
• e. flowing the purified vapor state through the first outlet and flowing the contaminated fluid after a portion of fluid has been removed as a purified vapor state through the second outlet of the apparatus.

A method to purify fluid comprising;

• a. obtaining a heat exchanger with at least one inlet and at least two outlets connected to an energy source connected to a heat exchanger that can concentrate energy on a contaminated fluid;
• b. pumping the contaminated fluid through the inlet into the heat exchanger;
• c. using the energy source on the contaminated fluid inside the heat exchanger to cause at least a portion of the contaminated fluid to change into a purified vapor state inside the heat exchanger;
• d. using at least two unobstructed flow paths inside the heat exchanger wherein density differences separates at least a portion of the heavier contaminated fluid from the lighter purified vapor state inside the heat exchanger;
• and
• e. flowing the purified vapor state through the first outlet and flowing the contaminated fluid after a portion of fluid has been removed as a purified vapor state through the second outlet of the heat exchanger.

A system comprising

• a. an inlet on an apparatus wherein contaminated fluid is pumped into the apparatus through the inlet;
• b. at least two outlets wherein a first outlet exits purified vapor and a second outlet wherein contaminated fluid with a portion removed as purified vapor flows out of the apparatus through the second outlet;
• c. an energy source connected to the apparatus that causes the contaminated fluid to heat to a temperature wherein a portion of the contaminated fluid is converted to purified vapor;
• and
• d. at least two different unobstructed flow paths inside the apparatus, a first flow path connecting at least one inlet to the first outlet and a second flow path connecting the inlet to the second outlet, the first flow path and the second flow path flow through at least a portion of the apparatus, wherein density differences causes the lighter purified vapor to separate and take a different flow path inside the apparatus than the heavier contaminated fluid with the purified vapor exiting the first outlet and the contaminated fluid exiting the second outlet;
• e. at least one sensor connected to the apparatus;
• and
• f. a control system that operates the apparatus and the energy source in a coordinated manner to obtain favorable purification using data from the at least one sensor connected to the apparatus.

A heat exchanger comprising:

• and
• d. at least two different unobstructed flow paths inside the heat exchanger, a first flow path connecting at least one inlet to the first outlet and a second flow path connecting the inlet to the second outlet, the first flow path and the second flow path flow through at least a portion of the heat exchanger, wherein density differences causes the lighter purified vapor to separate and take a different flow path inside the heat exchanger than the heavier contaminated fluid with the purified vapor exiting the first outlet and the contaminated fluid exiting the second outlet.
