Purification system of fluid charged with particles by force of thermophoresis

A treatment system for fluid by force of thermophoresis comprising:

• a treatment device including first and second modules located opposite one another and between which a fluid to be treated is circulated, the first module configured to be brought to a temperature greater than a temperature of the second module so as to engender a temperature gradient causing a force of thermophoresis capable of projecting particles to be purified, contained in the fluid to be treated, in a direction of the second module,
• wherein the first module includes a succession of parallel first tubes connected together and configured to be traversed by first heat-transfer fluid as a hot fluid,
• wherein the second module includes a succession of parallel second tubes connected together and configured to be traversed by a second heat-transfer fluid as a cold fluid,
• wherein the first tubes are arranged staggered with the second tubes,
• wherein the system further comprises:
• means for circulating the hot fluid through the first tubes of the first module;
• means for circulating the cold fluid through the second tubes of the second module;
• and
• means for circulating the fluid to be treated between the first and second modules,
• wherein the first and second tubes are parallel to a general direction to a flow of the fluid to be treated through the treatment system, and
• wherein a stacking direction of the first and second modules is orthogonal relative to the general direction of the flow of the fluid to be treated through the treatment system.
