Transport Membrane Condenser Using Turbulence Promoters
US Patent:
2012018, Jul 26, 2012
Filed:
Jan 25, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/013417
Inventors:

International Classification:
F28F 13/12
US Classification:
1651091
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for enhancing the heat and water recovery from a transport membrane condenser (TMC) includes a non-moving mechanical device inserted into the TMC tubes to increase the heat transfer efficiency via the enhancement of the fluid turbulence and/or surface area. The apparatus and methods may be applied to porous tubes arranged in a spaced array, similar to a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger device. Other configurations of the TMC may be conceived and adapted for use with the described apparatus and method.
