Modular Rotating Contacting Disk-Based Mass and Heat Exchanger
Abstract
This invention is an innovative device designed for scrubbing, aeration, oxygenation, and vaporization. The system utilizes rotating contacting disks for efficient mass and heat transfer between liquid and gas phases. This versatile exchanger can be employed in various applications such as industrial gas scrubbing, biogas scrubbing, cooling towers, humidification, dehumidification, air washing, and water treatment, offering a modular, compact, scalable, and cost-effective solution. Pressure drop on the gas side is typically less than 10 Pa per rotor stage.
