  • Water crystallizer employing mercury wetted surface
    Publication number: 20100251762
    Abstract: A dendritic ice crystallizer having a mercury wetted surface (14) from which heat is extracted while the mercury wetted surface is in contact with water at the freezing temperature. The mercury wetted surface can be protect from ionization or corrosion by a cathodic protection means (68). In addition, new or recycled mercury can be used to displace old mercury on the mercury wetted surface (56) in situ by inclining the mercury wetted surface from the horizontal and depositing mercury from a mercury nozzle (60) to the high end of the mercury wetted surface and collecting displaced mercury with a mercury collector (62) at the low end of the mercury wetted surface.
