Abstract
A water extractor includes a plurality of layers of low pressure zones and a plurality of channels of high pressure zones. The low pressure zone layers alternate, in a radial direction, with the high pressure zone channels. At least one of the low pressure zones is configured to enable a flow to enter, from at least one high pressure zone, to at least one low pressure zone.
Claims20
A heat exchanger system comprising:
- a reheater;
- a condenser that is downstream of and directly interfaces the reheater;
- a first water extractor that is downstream of and directly interfaces the condenser, wherein the first water extractor includes:
- a group of low pressure chambers;
- wherein at least one chamber is configured to promote a high pressure flow to enter the at least one chamber;
- and
- a second water extractor that is downstream of and directly interfaces the condenser, wherein the second water extractor is upstream of and directly interfaces the reheater.

A heat exchanger system comprising:
- a reheater;
- a condenser downstream of the reheater;
- a first water extractor that is downstream of and directly interfaces the condenser, the first water extractor including:
- a plurality of layers of chamber inlets, the plurality of layers including:
- a first layer comprising a first chamber inlet;
- and
- a second layer comprising a second chamber inlet and a third chamber inlet, wherein the third chamber inlet extends in a direction towards the second chamber inlet;
- and
- a plurality of channels of flow paths,
- wherein at least one channel of the plurality of channels is interposed between the first layer and the second layer in a radial direction,
- wherein the first chamber inlet is configured to promote a first fluid flow to enter into a first chamber,
- wherein the second chamber inlet is configured to promote a second fluid flow to enter into a second chamber, and
- wherein the third chamber inlet is configured to promote the second fluid flow to enter a third chamber;
- and
- a second water extractor that is downstream of and directly interfaces the condenser, wherein the second water extractor is upstream of the reheater.
