Abstract
The invention in at least one embodiment includes a system for treating water having an intake module, a vortex module, a disk-pack module, and a motor module where the intake module is above the vortex module, which is above the disk-pack module and the motor module. In a further embodiment, a housing is provided over at least the intake module and the vortex module and sits above the disk-pack module. In at least one further embodiment, the disk-pack module includes a disk-pack turbine having a plurality of disks having at least one waveform present on at least one of the disks.
Claims18
A system for treating water or other fluids comprising:
- a motor module having a base;
- a disk-pack module having a disk-pack turbine in rotational engagement with said motor module;
- a vortex module in fluid communication with said disk-pack turbine;
- an intake module in fluid communication with said vortex module;
- a plurality of conduits connecting said vortex module to said intake module;
- a plurality of support members connected to said disk-pack module and said vortex module, at least one of said plurality of conduits and said plurality of support members is connected between said vortex module and said intake module such that said intake module is above said vortex module and said disk-pack module;
- and
- means for filtering.
A method for treating water or other fluids comprising:
- drawing water into a whirlpool chamber for creation of a whirlpool allowing most of any particulate, precipitated solids and/or concentrated solids present in the water to drop from the water as the water enters at least one of a plurality of conduits;
- forming a vortex flow of the water in a vortex chamber that receives the water from the plurality of conduits, wherein the vortex chamber is located below the whirlpool chamber;
- discharging the water into an expansion chamber defined in a disk-pack turbine;
- channeling the water between spaces that exist between disks of the disk-pack turbine to travel from the expansion chamber to an accumulation chamber surrounding the disk-pack turbine;
- routing the water through the accumulation chamber to a discharge chamber;
- forming a vortical flow of the water up through the discharge chamber back into an environment from which the water was drawn and a downward flow of solids to a discharge port;
- and
- removing most of any particulate, precipitated solids and/or concentrated solids present in the whirlpool chamber.
