  • Publication number: 20220234082
    Abstract: An industrial washing process for various items such as precision small parts, mechanical parts, printed circuits, lenses, watchmaking articles, jewelry, eyewear or the like, includes regeneration of the used solvent by means of a first distillation and the step of drying the material in a vacuum chamber. The regeneration step includes at least one step of distillation through thermocompression carried out by compressing the solvent vapors by a pump and conveying them to an exchanger at higher pressure and temperature than the distiller. In this way the liquid to be evaporated can be used to condense the vapors with total recovery of the condensation energy, in this way avoiding the use of external thermal energy sources and obtaining a very high distillation capacity with lower energy consumption compared to a traditional condenser, and can also be used in a vacuum distillation step, if necessary, to further concentrate the distillation residues.

  • Patent number: 3970438
    Abstract: The invention concerns a novel deaerating arrangement for deaerating dialysis liquid in dialysis equipment of the type comprising a dialysis liquid feed line leading to a dialysis device and a dialysis liquid take off line leading from the dialysis device, wherein the deaerating arrangement comprises at least one deaerating chamber having a dialysis liquid inlet and dialysis liquid outlet in the dialysis liquid feed line, and a deaerating line which leads off from the head of the deaerating chamber through a first liquid flow rate restrictor to an evacuation pump which, in operation, creates a negative pressure in the deaerating chamber and withdraws air or gas formed in said deaerating chamber.
