MUMBAI, India, Sept. 5 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421014956 A) filed by Thermax Limited, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 29, 2024, for 'an absorption-based multi-effect evaporative system.'
Inventor(s) include Babu Panneerselvam; Jayachandran Murugesan; Girish Chowdary Patibandla; and Mogaliguna Aniketh Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 5, under issue no. 36/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an absorption-based multi-effect evaporative system (100). The system (100) comprises a generator (3), a multi-effect evaporator unit (50), an absorber unit (20), at least one heat recovery unit (1, 2), and a condenser. The absorber unit (20) utilizes the refrigerant vapor (19) produced in the last evaporator (14) of the multi-effect evaporator unit (50) to absorb into a strong absorbent solvent (3c) received from the generator (3) to produce a dilute absorbent solution (42) and a hot water stream (40). Further, the hot water stream (40) is fed to the first evaporator (5) of the multi-effect evaporator unit (50) along with a refrigerant vapor (4) received from the generator (3) to heat a feed solution (6), thus reducing the overall energy consumption. The system (100) advantageously eliminates the need for flashing in flash vessels, lowering the operational expenses associated with steam generation and enhancing overall performance."
