COMBINED ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY UNIT FOR IN-STREAM WATER PURIFICATION.

An engineering solution proposes to merge an ultra-high frequency energy unit and an electrolyzer The broad wall of a rectangular waveguide is one of electrolyzer electrodes and has holes for liquid. Another electrode is located outside the waveguide under the waveguide holes. The teflon sterilization chamber inside the waveguide has the form of a volumetric component that covers part of the broad wall and transforms to a lateral at a 30-45⁰ angle to the waveguide wall.

[INVESTIGATION OF THE COMBINED DISINFECTANT EFFECT OF ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY ENERGY AND SILVER ON WATER IN FLOW].

The paper is dedicated to the results of investigating the combined effect of ultra-high frequency (UHF) energy and silver on contaminated water. Silver was used both in the ion form at the minimal concentration of 0.01-0.

[Water disinfection by the combined exposure to super-high frequency energy and available chlorine produced during water electrolysis].

The article reports the results of studying the effects on polluted water of SHF-energy together with the residual free (active) chlorine as a by-product of electrolysis action on dissolved chlorine-containing salts. Purpose of the studies was to evaluate input of these elements to the water disinfection effect. The synergy was found to kill microorganisms without impacts on the physicochemical properties of processed water or nutrient medium; therefore, it can be used for water treatment, and cultivation of microorganisms in microbiology.

[Gaseous content regeneration system].

The article presents a possible design of an atmosphere revitalization system (ARS) as a component part of a new generation life support system (LSS). The main goal of the test investigation was to block formation of solid hard-to-remove carbon as a by-product of carbon dioxide and hydrogen processing. The Bosch reaction stage of CO2 conversion into CO and water was chosen as the core one.

[Computer modeling of electrodynamic processes in SHF-based water disinfection and heating system as part of the spacecrew life support system].

To optimize the design of SHF-based potable water disinfection and heating subsystem within the life support system (LSS), computer modeling of the super-high frequency electromagnetic field in SHF-based waveguide-coaxial and coaxial running water heaters was performed Software package CST Microwave Studio 2010 was used as the main instrument in the investigation. Results of the investigation can contribute to the development and prototyping of an HSF-based water heater as an integral part of advanced life support system for spacecrews
