    • The present invention consists of processes and apparatuses for conducting thermal storage as well as thermal storage in combination with treatment of dilute waste water streams. In all cases, the ice or crystals are made at reduced pressure and do not leave the location where they are formed for washing or melting, but are fixed in one location, thus avoiding the difficulties associated with movement of solids. For cool storage, ice is made at off-peak power consumption hours and melted during on peak power consumption hours. Melting is accomplished at reduced pressure by flashing warm water into a zone which has vapor communication with the ice. The vapor formed condenses onto the ice to melt the ice. The warm water is chilled by the flashing operation and is sent to fulfill either a process or building cooling requirement. In combination with the treatment of dilute waste streams, ice is formed on slanted or vertical plates to the exclusion of solute impurities by having a large liquid flow over the plates. Crystallization is induced on the plates by evaporation at reduced pressures. The vapor formed is liquefied either by condensation at refrigerated coils followed by melting via direct contact with super-triple point vapor, by compression followed by condensation or by absorption. Ice is melted by the same method as for cool storage alone. The apparatus introduced includes the definition of zones required for the vacuum freezing, vapor liquefaction and ice melting zones as well as the valving means and heat exchangers required.

    • The present invention introduces a process for effectively washing a crystal-liquid (mother liquor) mixture with a mass of wash liquid to thereby form a mass of highly purified crystals and also introduces apparatuses for use therein. The purification is accomplished by properly conducted alternative stationary and agitated crystal washing operations and substantially countercurrent transfer of the solid phase and the free liquid in a purification zone. The zone contains a set of stationary washing sub-zones and a set of agitated washing sub-zones that are laid alternatively along the vertical direction.The mass of crystals in a stationary sub-zone is compacted by a compacting means to form a bed with an enhanced degree of compaction. The masses of crystals and liquid in each agitated sub-zone are properly agitated so that the impurities in the mother liquors retained in the crystal mass are released to the free liquid. It is important either to reduce the amount of liquid that is transferred with the crystals or counterwash the crystals during an inter sub-zone transfer of the solid phase. Means for accomplishing these functions are incorporated in the apparatuses of this invention. Because of the properly conducted alternative stationary and agitated washing operations and the properly conducted inter sub-zone transfers of the solid phases and the free liquids, the impurity concentrations of the liquids retained in the solid phases transferred between sub-zones decrease sequentially, nearly following a geometric sequence rather than approaching a limiting value.

    • The Vacuum Freezing Vapor Desublimation Desublimate Vaporization Process (denoted as VDDV Process) is an improved vacuum freezing process that is useful in separating solvent from a solution that contains one or more non-volatile solutes. It can be used in desalination of sea water and brackish water, renovation of waste water, and concentration of aqueous and non-aqueous solutions.Referring to sea water desalination, the process comprises the following steps: (a) feed sea water is flash vaporized under a reduced pressure to thereby form a first low pressure water vapor (3.5 torr) and an ice-brine slush; (b) the first low pressure water vapor is cooled without pressurization to form a mass of desublimate; (c) the ice-brine slush is separated into a mass of purified ice and a concentrated brine; (d) the desublimate is melted and vaporized to form a second low pressure water vapor that is at a pressure higher than the triple point pressure of water (4.58 torr); (d) the second low pressure water vapor is brought in contact with the purified ice to thereby condense the vapor and melt the ice. Both the condensate and the melt become product fresh water. The characteristic feature of the process is that a low pressure vapor is pressurized from a first pressure that is lower than the triple point pressure to a second pressure that is higher than the triple point pressure by first desubliming the vapor and then melting and vaporizing the desublimate. The need of a low pressure compressor has been eliminated.

    • The distillative freezing process disclosed is useful in separating a mixture containing at least two volatile components, denoted respectively as A-component and B-component, by simultaneously vaporizing the two components from the mixture under a sufficiently reduced pressure to simultaneously crystallize B-component. The vapor mixture obtained is brought to a condensed state either by a simple condensation operation or a condensation-desublimation operation without being substantially pressurized. The process may be continued to completely eliminate the liquid phase and bring the mixture into the two phase solid-vapor region. Then, the solid phase is no longer contaminated by the adhering liquid phase and gives a high purity B-component on melting. The process is particularly useful in separating mixtures containing close boiling components, such as styrene-ethyl benzene mixtures, p-xylene-m-xylene mixtures and ethylene-ethane mixtures. The process can therefore be used in producing high purity monomers for the plastic industries and high purity chemicals for other industries.
    • 所公开的蒸馏冷冻方法可用于分离含有至少两种挥发性组分的混合物,分别表示为A组分和B组分,同时在充分降低的压力下从混合物中蒸发两种组分以同时结晶B组分。 所获得的蒸气混合物通过简单的冷凝操作或冷凝 - 冷凝 - 操作而不会基本上被加压而进入冷凝状态。 该过程可以继续完全消除液相并使混合物进入两相固体蒸汽区域。 然后,固相不再被粘附液相污染,并在熔化时产生高纯度的B成分。 该方法特别可用于分离含有近沸点组分的混合物,例如苯乙烯 - 乙苯混合物,对二甲苯 - 间二甲苯混合物和乙烯 - 乙烷混合物。 因此,该方法可用于生产用于塑料工业的高纯度单体和用于其它工业的高纯度化学品。

    • In the Improved Vacuum-Freezing High Pressure Ice Melting Process, an aqueous solution is flash vaporized under a reduced pressure to simultaneously form a low pressure water vapor and ice crystals. The ice formed is first purified in a counter-washer and then melted inside of heat conductive conduits under a high pressure (e.g. 600 atm.) and the low pressure water vapor is desublimed to form desublimate (ice) on the outside of the conduits. The latent heat of desublimation released is utilized in supplying the heat needed in the ice-melting operation. The desublimate is removed intermittently by an in-situ dissolution operation utilizing an aqueous such as the feed solution or the concentrate; about an equivalent amount of ice is formed inside of the conduits by an exchange freezing operation. The ice so formed is also melted by the high pressure ice melting operation described. The process uses components that are available commercially and can be reliably operated. The process is highly energy efficient and cost competitive with other desalination processes and conventional evaporation processes. The process is useful in desalination of brackish water and sea water and in concentrating industrial aqueous solutions.

    • The present invention, introduces (i) a reflector-heat sink panel with myriads of miniature parabolic mirrors and conductive heat collectors and (ii) a flattened focusing mirror. The reflector-heat sink panel has a transparent cover, a multiplicity of miniature parabolic mirrors to focus the Sun's rays into their respective focal regions which also serve as heat sink regions. For an efficient operation, heat generated in these regions is collected and transmitted to a heat transfer surface which is located on the backside relative to the mirror surfaces by conductive heat collecting branches and a conductive main and is transmitted to a heat absorbing medium. Another convenient way is to use the space separating the transparent cover and the mirror surfaces as a conduit to carry a heat absorbing medium and use the surfaces of conductive heat collecting branches and the mirror surface as the heat transfer surface of transmitting heat energy to the heat absorbing medium. Converging lens-heat sink panels which do similar job as that of reflector-heat sink panels are also described. The flattened focusing mirror is a thin multistep mirror which functions as a regular parabolic mirror with a relatively large focal length. What a flattened focusing mirror is to a regular parabolic mirror is about what a Fresnel lens is to a regular lens. method,The invention also introduces a multiple focusing method of accomplishing an even higher degree of concentrating solar energy and ways of storing heat energy at a relatively high temperature. In the multiple focusing method a wide band of the Sun's parallel rays is first reduced into a narrow band of parallel and concentrated rays, which is then reconverged into concentrated bands and harvested by a narrow reflector-heat sink panel. In another embodiment, several narrow bands of parallel and concentrated rays are formed and combined into a large band of parallel and concentrated rays and refocused into a set of very highly concentrated rays.
