Abstract:
A device for separating dry solid and liquid by a cooling spray, comprising:a pair of flexible pipes defining first and second flexible pipes; a high pressure sprayer having a nozzle, said nozzle producing a liquid spray; a reservoir for containing a material for separation; a guide pipe having first and second ends, said first end being connected to said reservoir, said second end being connected to said high pressure sprayer, said first flexible pipe being fixedly secured to said guide pipe to selectively extend said guide pipe; a high-pressure pump having an outlet coupled to said guide pipe and an inlet connected to said reservoir, said high pressure pump forcing said material from said reservoir through said guide pipe to said high pressure sprayer; a check valve being connected between said outlet of said high pressure pump and said guide pipe, said check valve preventing a back flow of said material through said guide pipe; a steel tub having said high pressure sprayer mounted thereto for mixing said liquid spray with dry air; said steel tub including a trough for collecting dry solid materials that precipitate out of said mixture of said liquid spray and said dry air, said steel tub including a pair of adjustable oil pressure cylinders respectively mounted on opposing sides of said steel tub for adjusting a height and capacity thereof; a thermal insulation cushion mounted to said steel tub; a heat exchanger for producing said dry air, said heat exchanger communicating with said steel tub through a first exhaust pipe, said first exhaust pipe having a first end connected to said steel tub, and a second end connected to said heat exchanger, said second flexible pipe being fixedly secured to said first exhaust pipe to selectively extend said first exhaust pipe in cooperation with adjustment of mid-height of said steel tub; and, an air filter coupled between said steel tub and said heat exchanger for condensing water from air from said steel tub, said air from said steel tub being transported from said steel tub to said air filter through a second exhaust pipe.
