Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for water descaling. The system comprises hydrodynamic cavitation reactors with a cavitator selected from the group consisting of an orifice plate, venturi and a rotating cavitator, in combination with an infrared radiation emitter. Combination of hydrodynamic cavitation reactor with infrared radiation achieves effective salt precipitation from the hard water with reduced pressure drop and reduced number of recirculation, resulting in higher savings due to reduced energy costs.
Claims18
An apparatus for water descaling, said apparatus comprising:
- at least one inlet for introducing hard water stream containing soluble salts in the apparatus;
- a hydrodynamic cavitation reactor communicating with said at least one inlet, said cavitation reactor comprising a cavitator, said cavitator having a configuration capable of disrupting equilibrium reaction of the soluble salts in the hard water stream;
- at least one infrared radiation emitter configured to produce infrared radiation, said emitter placed in a location selected from the group consisting of inside the cavitation reactor and outside the cavitation reactor, said infrared radiation being configured to disrupt the equilibrium reaction of the soluble salts in the hard water stream by absorption of water towards the infrared radiation and selective absorbance of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is dissolved, produced or dissolved and produced in the hard water stream;
- and
- a filter assembly fitted downstream of the emitter.
