04 // Laminar Flow Dispensing
FIG 5.0: LAMINAR FLOW DISPENSING
The dispensing nozzle uses a honeycomb flow straightener—the same laminar flow principle used in wind tunnels and cleanroom air handling—to remove turbulence from the output stream.
The water exits as a coherent, laminar column. It fills a glass smoothly with minimal splash or surface agitation. This is a product design choice, not a physics breakthrough—laminar flow nozzles are well-understood fluid dynamics. But the visual result is striking: the stream looks like a solid, transparent rod of glass.
SEPARATION METHOD
Vacuum Flash Evaporation (no membranes)
CONDENSER
CVD Diamond (~5x copper conductivity)
HEAT RECOVERY
Multi-stage cascade (GOR 8–10 target)
OASIS UNIT OUTPUT
Target: 50,000–100,000 L/day
WASTE PRODUCT
Dry salt (no brine discharge)
NO MEMBRANES, NO CHEMICAL PRETREATMENT, NO LIQUID BRINE DISCHARGE. OUTPUT DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION, HEAT SOURCE, AND RECOVERY RATIO. ENERGY TARGET COMPARABLE TO REVERSE OSMOSIS (3–5 kWh/m³) WITH MULTI-STAGE HEAT RECOVERY.
