    摘要: The present invention relates to treatment systems for polluted and sea water by recrystallization and may be used in everyday life, the food industry, in the catering business and healthcare.
    The system comprises at least two heat-exchange devices that contain chambers for water freezing and ice melting, cooling and heating components, a water circulation loop, a refrigerant circulation loop connected with cooling and heating components able to alternate water freezing and ice melting in the chambers of heat-exchange devices and to transfer the heat generated in the water freezing chamber into the ice melting chamber, a control and monitoring tool. Heat-exchange devices are arranged as a cascade one under another and comprise outer and inner housings as well as a cylindrical baffle, which are coaxial relatively to each other and form an annular cavity between their walls; an air supply manifold, cooling and heating components, a heating component fastened at the top of the inner housing and at least one drain nozzle. The outer housing is cylindrical or truncated cone-shaped with a cone angle directed upwards. The outer housing has an additional inner wall, the shape and height of which meet the outer housing while cooling and heating components are located between the said walls. The baffle and the housing internal wall may be connected to an electrical current source.
    The combination of sufficiently large performance and high quality of water treatment in the system allows it to use for treating initial water with a wide range of with organic and inorganic contaminants.

    摘要: Disclosed are a heat exchanger capable of cooling a coolant and a sewage treatment plant comprising same. An aspect of the present embodiment provides a sewage treatment plant which cools a coolant for dissipating heat of each component inside a data center, the sewage treatment plant comprising at least one removal means, for receiving sewage and removing organic material and pollutants in the sewage, and a cooling pipe, through which a coolant which has dissipated the heat of each component inside the data center flows, disposed inside the removal means so as to induce heat exchange between the treated water, from which organic material and pollutants of the sewage have been removed, and the coolant flowing through the cooling pipe, thereby lowering the temperature of the latter.

    摘要: A novel method for freeze-related separations, involving the combination of water with a selected concentration of biogenic ice nucleation proteins, freezing the combination, and separating the ice, potentially via centrifugation or sublimation. In some instances, the freezing conditions and the concentration of the at least one biogenic ice nucleation protein are selected such that the aqueous solution, upon freezing, forms a lamellar ice crystal structure having at least one property selected from the group consisting of a solute inclusion volume at least 30% smaller than in the first material alone, a hydraulic diameter at least 30% larger than in the first material alone, an inclusion width that is less than 10% of a crystal dimension, a hydraulic diameter that is less more than 1.5 times that of an inclusion width, a deviation of crystal orientation angle in the transverse direction of less than 45 degrees, an ice crystal length in the transverse direction that is at least 10% larger than in the first material alone, and a length of the ice crystal structure in the longitudinal direction that is at least 10% larger than in the first material alone. The use of these structures result in a significant efficiency improvement and energy savings.
