Abstract:
A fluid steam generating system comprising; an elongate cylinder having an inlet and an outlet for circulating a fluid to be heated; a heater in said elongate cylinder; a flow circulator for circulating fluid around said heater to heat said fluid, said flow circulator comprising a plurality of baffles spaced apart along the internal length of said elongate cylinder, each of said plurality of baffles having one or more ports to direct the flow of fluid through said elongate cylinder and increase flow turbulence through said elongate cylinder, said ports in adjacent baffles being offset from each other to form an elongated turbulent flow path, said ports alternately causing formation of a series of converging high speed fluid jets followed by expansion into divergent low speed expansion chambers, said baffles having turbulent creating surfaces for creating a turbulent flow of fluid around said heater to increase flow path surface area; and a pump for pumping said fluid into said inlet in said elongated internal container against an internal pressure head specifically created in said elongate container via a controlled exit control valve.
