The "VHG" Limited Liability Company is developing new and ecologically clean technologies for the production of thermal energy, heating of technological liquids and refining of oil-containing fluids. We aim at developing and introduction of new energy-saving and ecologically clean technologies with the purpose of obtaining cheap thermal energy in the worldwide scale; we also work for the development of modern technologies in the field of power-engineering and science.

Vortex heat generator (VHG), is used for heating and hot water supply. It is ecologically clean without any heating elements. This unique unit is developed as an alternative to existing heating boilers. Liquid heating in the generator occurs due to the collapse of cavitational bubbles, friction and synthesis of water molecules. VHG is designed for heating and hot water supply of blocks of flats, private dwellings, high-rise building and structures, warehouses, hospitals, schools, production areas, hothouses, production shops and other premises of any heated area. Vortex heat generator can be completed with all necessary devices and has automatic control system. It can be attached both to a new and already available heating system. VHG design and dimensions allow the unit to be located in any designated place.

Advantages of VHG used in heating and hot water supply systems:

• Coordination with Energy and Boiler Supervision is not required.

Minimal maintenance (lubrication and inspection of ball-bearings and generator sealing once in 6 months). Is provided by means of high technologies used in producing these units..

Economical:

• no expenses for laying of thermal and gas networks;
• no expenses for water preparation (water quality and its pollution degree in the system of heating and mineralization have no influence on the operation of the unit);
• due to the original way of heating there is no production of scale in the heating system;
• no need of purchase, transportation, storing of fuel and expenditures involved.

Safe operation and ecologically clean:

• operation of heat generator excludes the usage of environment polluting substances (gas, coal, wood, diesel fuel) and, therefore, excludes the release of air decomposition and combustion products. There is no possibility for explosion or fire;
• application of up-to-date safety control devices completely eliminates the uncontrollable temperature growth and pressure in the heating system;

Easy maintenance:

• during installation it is sufficient to connect the inlet and discharge manifolds of heat generator to the corresponding manifolds of the heating system;
• heating process and heating system control is effected by means of the automatic control unit. A special personnel training is not required.

Reliability:

• life period is not less than 15 years including the service replacement of seals and bearings during the generator operation.

VHG has no competitors in hot water production; even technologies based on cheap natural gas (gas boilers) yield in productive capacity.

You can get extra economy up to 30% after two-rate meter installation. It is possible to install electric motors of high voltage up to 10 000 volts. Average time of the heat generator operation per heating season is 20 - 25%.

Heating unit 1 consists of a cavitator and electric motor. The thermal energy emission occurs due to complex processes of the heat carrier circulation in the heat generator body. The heat carrier is delivered directly either to radiators or heat carrier accumulator tank, and then to radiators. When delivering the heat carrier into the building premises it is recommended to use a booster pump of small power (a circulation pump).

Heating system consists of heating unit (1), stop valves (2), piping (3), heating devices (4), accumulator tank (5), thermal sensor (6), air collector (7), control cabinet (8) and circulation pump (9).

The system operation is divided into two cycles. First, the heat carrier is heated up to specified temperature circulating along the small circuit, then a large circuit (radiators) is switched on. For heating systems it is recommended to use small capacity radiators (convectors).

Cavitational heat generators for direct heating of technological liquids

Vortex heat generators produced by our company have been successfully used for water heating for a long time. Therefore, it is quite natural that 9 of 10 our customers purchase them as a main, stand-by or alternative source of heat. In some situations it is impossible to do without generators like this. Using of a heat generator as a source of heat is only a few of their capabilities.

Application of a vortex heat generator in chemical and petrochemical industry allows not only to heat oil or oil-containing liquid but also use it as a special-purpose processing equipment. 2-year experience and considerable volume (more than 3000 tons) of the oil and oil-containing liquid refinement showed the effectiveness of our equipment usage in the following technological processes:
Water and salt removal.
The main proportion of water and salts in oil (up to 90%) are in bound (so-called "molecular") state. In this state water is located inside the salt shell (capsule). It is hard to extract this water simply by heating, and sometimes impossible. Considerable energy (up to 500 kW per square meter) is required to destroy such capsules. Therefore we offer technologies for high-intensity oil and oil-containing liquid treatment.
Ultrasonic treatment by the rotary-pulse units of our enterprise achieves 700 kW per square meter in the force of ultrasonic wave action. It allows an effective destruction of water-salt capsule;
During cavitational treatment by means of heat generating units the capsule destruction is achieved by formation and explosion of up to 1 million micro bubbles per second.

Accompanying effect in application of the above technologies is a considerable reduction of sulphides compounds and free sulfur concentration in the treated raw material, which is significant in the production of fuel oil.

Activation and modification of oil and oil-containing liquid.
Modification (alteration) in the structure of hydrocarbon raw material is carried out in order to obtain another chemical formula and new qualities of the commercial raw material.
Our factory is ready to carry out such work within the limits of research and development work.

Refined hydrocarbon liquids produced from storage do not always meet the requirements of consumer by their quality. It is necessary to change both alternative (combustion, appearance, odor, etc.) and quantitative (freezing temperature, ignition temperature, etc.) parameters of quality. Our factory offers the technologies on the change of hydrocarbon rheological characteristics (viscosity decrease, fluidity increase, etc.) within the limits of research and development work.

Obtaining of mixtures or emulsions with specified characteristics on the base of oil-containing liquids.

Wide range of engineering processes for the change of mineral oil class, grade and quality. It is deep emulsification of oil and black oil by second and following components changing their characteristics.

The most required are the technologies of fuel black oil-water emulsions (water content up to 20%).

We are ready to offer these technologies within the limits of research and development work. Estimated prices can be fixed in the result of negotiations and after the filling of questionnaire. Heating of oil and oil products.

Today many oil refineries make demands that oil temperature must be not less than 22 °N. Oil has no constant boiling-point like water because it consists of hydrocarbons with different boiling points. Moreover, oil viscosity decreases during heating, and as a result a much faster pumping of heated oil is obtained. It is advisable to heat oil with impurities (such as paraffin and others) to 50?- 80°N in temperature in order to avoid paraffin deposit. One of economically sound methods of oil heating is the application of vortex heat generating unit (VHG). The usage of such unit provides considerable reduction of the process energy consumption, decrease of equipment sizes and their metal content; besides, its application allows the increasing of oil treatment quality.
Heating of acids, salts, alkalis and other reactive and aggressive liquids.

Direct heating of chemical reagents (acid, salt, alkaline solutions and other aggressive media) is often required in manufacturing processes of many production enterprises (chemical, machine-building, metallurgical), e.g. having electroplating shops, pickle baths, etc. In this case conventional methods of heating, such as tubular electric heaters and steam generators are extremely inconvenient due to the necessity of using the special heat exchangers and other bulky, expensive and non-durable devices resistant to the aggressive medium. The using of cavitational heat generators provides high-performance and convenient direct heating of these technological liquids. Equipment operation is controlled by automatics.

MTS - Multifunctional thermal station.

With account of customer's requests, VHG application areas and its capabilities we offer the multifunctional unit developed on the base of VHG.

Adjustment of operating modes, on-line control and maintenance of these modes and also the selection of applications is carried out by the control devices of the unit. The following applications are provided:
Water heating with the subsequent automatic maintenance of its temperature in accumulative tank of the unit (water supply to outside consumers by means of pumping device).
Heating of technical liquids.
direct heating through the generator;
heating through a heat exchanger.
Production of vapor-condensate mixture with 104 °Ñ in temperature.
Operation in heating systems and hot water supply systems.

Work with emulsions:

• production of fine-dispersion emulsions;
• modification of oil-water and black oil-water emulsions properties and characteristics;
• emulsions for the mould wall lubrication in concrete products production.

Heat generator is efficient and multi-purpose: it can be used for heating, hot water supply and wood drying. It also can be used for work both with water, antifreezing agents and other liquids ((chemical liquids, oil products, foodstuffs, etc.).
It is possible to use generators in oil-refining and oil-extraction industries for heavy oil dilution and treatment for its subsequent refining, thus considerably reducing expenses on oil heating.
Plants watering (water disinfection and change of water structure occurs which has a favorable effect on the plants growth).
Cold pasteurization of milk at the temperature up to 40°Ñ. At that taste and healing properties of milk are much better than at conventional method of pasteurization.
Generators can be used in technological processes for the preparation of oil products. It is possible to carry out dehydration, desalting and other procedures for the change of liquids chemical and physical properties with the help of these generators.

Unit for hydrocarbon raw material preparation (UPUS).

Application of the unit for hydrocarbon raw material preparation (UPUS) in chemical and petrochemical industry allows not only to heat oil or oil-containing liquid but also use it as a special-purpose processing equipment. 2-year experience and considerable volume (more than 3000 tons) of the oil and oil-containing liquid refinement showed the effectiveness of our equipment usage in the following technological processes:
