Abstract:
1. A fluid recovery system, comprising: an enclosure configured to contain fluid in both gas and liquid states; a heat exchanger, configured to receive fluid removed from the enclosure and to discharge heat energy; a plurality of pick-up ports defined within the enclosure, wherein the heat exchanger comprises a plurality of heat exchanger channels in which heat exchange occurs and a compound structure configured to include an equal number of the plurality of heat exchanger channels and the plurality of pick-up ports, wherein each pick-up port is fluidly connected to one of the plurality of heat exchanger channels, wherein each pick-up port is associated with a separate heat exchanger channel; wherein an orifice size used in each of the pick-up ports results in simultaneous withdrawal of fluid from submerged and non-submerged pick-up ports, the orifice size in each of the pick-up ports sized being based at least in part on a comparison of a total mass flow through pick-up ports (m a spray module, configured to re-introduce condensed fluid from the heat exchanger into the enclosure.
