Title: Distillation apparatus to produce distilled water from contaminated liquid
Inventor: WARD DUDLEY EDGAR JAMES
IPC: B01D1/28
Filed: 2008-04-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a distillation apparatus (1) to produce distillate(200) from feed liquid (100). The apparatus has at least one heat exchanger (3) that preheats incoming feed liquid by recovering and recycling sensible heat to the incoming feed liquid from outgoing condensed distillate and concentrate. A start-up heater (6) heats the feed liquid from the at least one or more heat exchanger. A degasser removes non-condensable gasses from the heated feed liquid from the heater. The apparatus has a mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) evaporator condenser (8) with a plurality of non-porous plates. Each of the plates has a first surface which on contact boils and evaporates the feed liquid from the heater to produce vapour and liquid concentrate and a second surface which on contact condenses the vapour into distillate. The evaporator condenser is housed in a single chamber capable of operating under vacuum or low positive pressure, the single chamber including at least one partition to separate the distillate from the feed liquid, with the distillate and concentrate pumped from the single chamber. A MVR vapour compressor (11) operably associated with the single chamber is positioned on a horizontal or vertical axis to receive vapour from the evaporator condenser in the single chamber and pump the vapour at pressure back through the evaporator condenser. The evaporator condenser transfers the latent heat of evaporation from the condensing vapour from the second surface of each of the plurality of non-porous plates to boil the feed liquid on the first surface of the plurality of non-porous plates. The non-porous plates of the evaporator condenser have a thickness of between 0.1mm to 0.25mm.

IPC: A47C7/46
Filed: 2011-08-11
Abstract: Disclosed is a power lift lumbar support system for a furniture member. Many lumbar support systems for a furniture member are either not adjustable by the occupant or are adjustable using a manual system that requires continuous repositioning of the lumbar support as the seat rotates resulting in discomfort for the occupant in either the fully reclined or upright positions. The power lift lumbar support system comprises a lumbar pad (64); scissoring portion; powered actuator (78); lumbar actuation portion (68) and an actuation link (76). The scissoring portion is rotatably connected to the lumbar pad (64) and moves the lumbar pad (64) between fully retracted and extended positions when rotated. The powered actuator (78) acts to displace the lumbar pad (64) by displacement of the scissoring portion. The lumbar actuation portion (68) is connected to the scissoring portion. The lumbar actuation portion (68) includes a displaceable shaft (124). Movement of the displaceable shaft (124) in a first displacement direction (C) displaces the lumbar pad (64) towards the fully extended position. Movement of the displaceable shaft (124) in an opposite second displacement direction moves the lumbar pad (64) towards the fully retracted position.
