Abstract: Multi-chamber Compressor (6, 206, 506) of Mechanical Vapor re-Compression (MVC) and water treatment methods, the compressor bearing independent compression chambers of positive displacement, for heat-pumps, of two main variants: a) reciprocating-rotary motion (6, 206) wherein the compression chambers (7V) are radially arranged cylindrical sectors based on concentric circular sectors of the same angle, with, pistons of radially arranged vanes (20, 220) of respective surface and with the plane of the vanes passing through the axis of the common rotor (14) and the shaft (16) and b) reciprocating-linear motion (506) wherein the compression chambers (52v) are in series arranged cylinders with pistons/vanes (50v) of corresponding circular surfaces and with the plane of the vanes perpendicular to the common shaft (51). In both cases, the shaft (16, 51) and the motor are common to all the vanes (20v, 50v), which follow identical strokes.

Abstract: A hybrid emitter of low discharge for water or solutions is inserted and welded into a pipe during the production phase. The hybrid emitter bears at its convex and cylindrical surface local protrusions that are covered completely from the pipe which is swelled locally. The water exits preferably from two nozzles that are created within the protrusions by the cutting-off of the tips, which protrusions protrude and after cutting-off, said nozzles eject the water almost cross-wise to two opposite directions and at short discrete distances left and right of the pipe. A method for welding of emitters and accessories into a pipe where the emitter or the hybrid one with or without protrusions on the outer surface, are inserted into the pipe during its production phase.

Abstract: Horizontal axis W/T of low wind speeds of propeller type, bearing a main rotor of three blades (1), while in the space between two successive blades (1) and diametrically opposite to the third, an additional 4th blade (2) also of propeller type but of significantly longer length, is interposed. This additional blade (2) is not permanently coupled but selectively engaged in the system of the W/T at low wind speeds, contributing to the startup and enhancing the energy production. The blade (2) bears diametrically opposite a counterweight (15) to balance the forces developed, and rotates in a plane parallel to the main rotor. The coupling of the blade (2) is preferably made at the stand-by state or at low wind speed operation of the W/T, while the uncoupling will be performed during operating state and at the rated power. The blade (2) after uncoupling, gets in vertical position and remains immobilized attached to the tower.

Abstract: The cylindrical emitter (3) with water filter is welded into a pipe (2), the filter develops in the internal concave surface of the emitter and is comprised of a collection channel (4) developing preferably peripherally and to an arc of large magnitude incorporating considerable number of orthogonal openings (5) formed by the side walls (11) of shallow channels (12) that cross perpendicular the collection channel (4) extended to a considerable length front and rear of the openings (5). Every opening (5) cones ponds to a shallow channel (12), the shallow channels are parallel to the flow (14) of the water and are preferably raised over the internal concave surface of the emitter. The flow in the shallow channels (12) feeds continuously the collection channel (4) irrespectible if the surface of the openings (5) is covered or not by foreign particles (15).

Abstract: The irrigation matter (1) of the present invention is inserted and welded in the interior of a drip irrigation pipe (2) during production thereof. It has a number of protrusions (8) arranged in a row emerging from a solid flat part/base (6) of the outer convex surface (7) of the emitter (1). The pipe (2) is locally swollen, covers and is welded both on the protrusions (8) and on their base (6), so that a unified welded assembly is formed between protrusions (8) and the pipe. The water outlets (10) are typically and preferably formed between the prismatic protrusions (8) by cutting off the tips of the protrusions (8) during passage of the drip irrigation pipe in a continuously rotating concave fraise (35) located at the end of the production line. Cutting takes place after the pipe has passed through a system of successive pairs of concave and convex rollers which squeeze it, stretch it and make it rigid, maintaining it in a flattened convex and bent form.

Abstract: Self-cleaning filter for liquids with a basic element consisting of one cyclic elastic membrane 17 which covers completely the rims of a stable cavity 16. The rims of the cavity bear engraved shallow channels 25, while its concave part and bottom, bears great openings (26, 28). During the operation phase, the water passes under the membrane 17 and the shallow channels 25 of the cavity 16, leaves at the periphery of the rims or inside the channels the derbies 27 and through the openings 26 and 28 of the concave part and the bottom, comes out clean to the network 15 of the cleaned water. The water passing through the shallow channels 25, is subjected to a pressure loss with the result the membrane 17 to be significant bent, due to the pressure differences, and to be inserted sliding in to the cavity 16. By each interruption of the filter's operation, the membrane 17 returns in to its plan position scrapping and rejecting the derbies 27.

Abstract: The emitter with potential of self cleaning of the water inlet filter, has incorporated filter in the inlet of water that consists of openings (2) with potential of bending of elements (1, Ia, 9) that create them if particular pressure is exercised from the one side of their surface. In case of complete blocking of the openings (2) of elements (1, Ia, 9) from foreign bodies that are transferred by water, a difference of pressure is developed between the two surfaces of these elements. This difference of pressure exercises forces and moments that bend or twist specific points of elements (1, Ia, 9) and as a consequence the continuity in the layer of foreign bodies that covers the filter is disturbed and interrupted. These forces are exercised constantly until the above mentioned difference of pressure is eliminated. In most systems, the deflection sag is controlled and limited by terminal limits (11).

Abstract: Emitter with water inlet hole which bears a circumferential ring and elastic membrane that covers it tightly. The water penetrates to the emitter from the ring only if particular water pressure to the network is reached which slightly raises the membrane forming a gap.

Abstract: A dripline duct with internally attached emitters is provided for irrigation. The duct is preferably plastic and continuous but does not have a constant cross-section along its length. The emitter may be auto-adjusting for securing a constant supply at a particular area of water pressures. The emitters are placed in the interior of the duct at its production phase and are covered almost totally by the wall of the duct which is swollen at the location of the emitters.

Abstract: The dripline duct with internally attached emitter is used for irrigation. The duct is plastic and continuous, but does not have constant cross-section along its total length. The emitter may be simple, namely only having internally a meandering stroke or other form of stroke for adjusting the supply, or may be auto-adjusting for securing constant supply at a particular area of water pressures.The emitters are entered one by one in the interior of the duct at its production phase and are covered almost totally by the wall of the duct with is obviously swollen at this point, holding firmly the emitter in its interior. The cross-section of the duct is completely free along the total length. The emitter may also have an elevated water outflow end-tube.
