Scale-Free
Heating
The ShockWave Power™
Reactor
harnesses cavitation to heat
liquids in seconds, whether in batch or continuous
systems.
This heating can be done with pinpoint accuracy
and consistently by varying rpms through a temperature
controller and variable frequency drive. There is no
temperature gradient or hot or cold spots. There is also no
heat transfer surface so there is no scaling or
fouling.
The system is flameless and can be totally
automated.
The SPR can heat liquids with no degradation in
the heat transfer coefficient. This was
demonstrated in work conducted with a major university
on a scaling liquid in a heating test
cell.
Additionally, there is
an ultrasonic cleaning effect that occurs on the metal
surfaces inside the SPR™ Reactor as the shockwaves are
generated within narrow clearances. This cleaning
effect, in conjunction with a negative delta
T between metal and liquid,
ensures
scale-free heating. |
