Keeping reduced pressure drinking- or service water systems clean, further reduces pressure and monitors for sharp drop, on which pressure is increased

In reduced pressure drinking or service water systems, system pressure (p1) is further reduced to an even lower pressure (p2), which is monitored. Should it (p2) fall sharply, the water pressure is raised. The pressure is raised to system pressure (p1). The pressure reducer (22) is opened to increase pressure, and a pressure instrument (34) monitoring system pressure (p2) operates the pressure reducer (22) through a controller. Operation is further detailed, based on the foregoing principles. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding drinking- or service water supply system.

Water treatment system

Method for preventing contamination of a heat exchanger using an active oxygen generating polyaniline film.

A low cost method for preventing contamination of a heat exchanger whereby a film of polyaniline is formed on the metal surface of the heat exchanging portion. Upon operation condensed water makes contact with the film and oxygen dissolved within the water becomes active. The active oxygen reacts with organic substances within the water causing them to decompose. Thus the amount of organic substances adhered to the surface of the heat exchanger can be reduced. The oxygen generating capacity of the film can be regenerated by drying the surface of the metal base material.

In the reverse osmosis unit, the raw water is divided into two parts, the discharge part and the product part. In the reverse osmosis unit, the drainage fraction is more concentrated and diluted as the water molecules of the drainage fraction are fed into the product fractional water via at least one membrane. The discharge part water becomes the discharge part water via the reverse osmosis unit, and the product part water becomes the generated water through the reverse osmosis action. 정수, 역삼투 Water purification, reverse osmosis
