Abstract:
1. A liquid concentrator system comprising: a concentrator section including a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a mixing corridor disposed between the gas inlet and the gas outlet, the mixing corridor having a narrowed portion in which gas flow within the mixing corridor accelerates when traveling from the gas inlet to the gas outlet; and a liquid inlet through which liquid to be concentrated is injected into the mixing corridor, the liquid inlet being disposed in the mixing corridor between the gas inlet and the narrowed portion; a demister disposed downstream of the concentrator section, the demister including a demister gas flow passage coupled to the gas outlet of the concentrator section, a liquid collector disposed in the demister gas flow passage to remove liquid from gas flowing in the demister gas flow passage, and a reservoir that collects the liquid removed from the gas flowing in the demister gas flow passage by the liquid collector; and a fan coupled to the demister to assist gas flow through the mixing corridor and the gas flow passage.
