Does anyone know what the device is that sci phy is using in thier recovery pots? Is that a sonicator? Bunch of cool new tech integrated into that package

Got a link? I’ve never heard of Sci phy.

First system I’ve been intrigued about for awhile.

They don’t give much information or video of what’s happening.

With just that shot through the sight glass I can’t guess what’s going on, but they talk about it in a video on YouTube. They’re obviously agitating the liquid some way thats independent of just the evaporation that’s happening, maybe ultrasound.

Someone on here posted a link to a paper about an ultrasonic thin film evaporator for desalination and the authors claimed a pretty dramatic increase in the rate of evaporation with the introduction of ultrasound.
Based on what was said in that paper, there was two reasons for this…

  1. Ultrasonics increases the rate of evaporation by essentially rattling the solution so fast that it interferes with the formation of large bubbles so you don’t get that bumping effect where large bubbles chaotically grow and pop and jostle the whole solution around. The bubbles formed are much smaller and contain much higher pressure, which allows them to carry more vapor per unit of volume.

  2. The ultrasonics keeps all the particles moving, increasing the rate of heat transfer. I.e. increases turbulence in the solution.

Based on that, I doubt they’re using ultrasound because those bubbles are pretty chaotic.

Bubble formation is related to surface tension which is related to viscosity. Ultrasonic irration rattles the solution so fast that the surface tension is much less of a factor and vapor has no trouble leaving the mixture.

I played with ultrasound and pd/c in the collection tank and I had quiet a lot of decarb gooing on Wich is likely to the implosion energy release from ultrasound that creates micro heat spikes in the solution

Thanks for noticing!
SciPhy+Scientific710 have been hard at it for the past 2yrs developing this extraction platform, and the HVH50 is just the start.
Alot of the magic you will see on this system is due to the various ways we have managed to enhance heat transfer using some elegant approaches to heat exchanger design. With this, we’ve been able to achieve ample vapor generation without the added complexity of ultrasonics or agitator+mechanical seals.

Our CRS1 color remediation module is also agitated without using an impeller type agitator.
In the near future we will be detailing these pieces and other novel engineering that sets our system apart.

Heres a fresh shot of it in action https://www.instagram.com/tv/CXPklHtjOin/?utm_medium=copy_link
