Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A module comprises a cell stack having a plurality of alternating ion depleting compartments and ion concentrating compartments, an inlet manifold configured to facilitate a flow of fluid into the cell stack, and a first flow distribution system, associated with the inlet manifold, including a first ramp to promote the circulation of the flow of fluid into the cell stack.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A module, comprising: a cell stack comprising a plurality of alternating ion depleting compartments and ion concentrating compartments; an inlet manifold configured to facilitate a flow of fluid into the cell stack; and a first flow distribution system, associated with the inlet manifold, including a first ramp to promote the circulation of the flow of fluid in the inlet manifold. 2 . The module of claim 1 , wherein the first flow distribution system further comprises a plurality of radially spaced baffles. 3 . The module of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of radially spaced baffles comprise at least one of ribs and teeth. 4 . The module of claim 1 , wherein the first ramp is positioned on at least one of a bottom and a top of the first flow distribution system. 5 . The module of claim 1 , wherein the first flow distribution system is configured to promote uniform fluid distribution to the cell stack. 6 . The module of claim 1 , wherein the first flow distribution system comprises a plurality of first ramps. 7 . The module of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of first ramps are spaced to define first grooves. 8 . The module of claim 1 , further comprising an outlet manifold configured to facilitate flow of fluid out of the cell stack. 9 . The module of claim 8 , further comprising a second flow distribution system associated with the outlet manifold. 10 . The module of claim 9 , wherein the second flow distribution system comprises a second ramp. 11 . The module of claim 10 , wherein the second ramp is positioned on at least one of a bottom and a top of the second flow distribution system. 12 . The module of claim 10 , wherein the second flow distribution comprises a plurality of second ramps. 13 . The module of claim 12 , wherein the first and the second ramp have different radii of curvature. 14 . The module of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of ramps are spaced to define grooves. 15 - 34 .
