  • Cartridge-type inline heater and system for controlling working fluid temperature using the same
    Patent number: 9784471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cartridge-type inline heater including: a heat exchanging unit including a body part in which a mounting part is formed in a longitudinal direction, and swirl parts coiled in a spiral along the longitudinal direction of the body part, and configured to induce a flowing-in working fluid to flow along the swirl parts; and a heater inserted in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanging part to heat the working fluid which is in contact with the heat exchanging unit. Accordingly, the cartridge-type inline heater capable of heating the working fluid so as to have improved durability and uniform temperature distribution is provided.

  • Apparatus for osmotic power generation and desalination using salinity difference
    Patent number: 8568588
    Abstract: The apparatus for osmotic power generation and desalination using a salinity difference includes: a first osmotic membrane reactor having a first salt water position space and a third salt water position space separated by a first forward osmotic membrane; a second osmotic membrane reactor having a second salt water position space and a draw solution position space separated by a second forward osmotic membrane; a high pressure pump connected between the second salt water position space and the third salt water position space; a desalination unit obtaining fresh water by separating a draw solute from a draw solution diluted through a transmission of water in salt water of the second salt water position space by way of the draw solution position space; and a turbine driven by flow force of salt water discharged from the third salt water position space to produce electric energy.
