DESALTING PLANT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: solar engineering for desalting water. SUBSTANCE: because of successive connection of water heater, vacuum pipes, and condenser, siphon-type system is formed which enables intensive evaporation and condensation of salt water. Lower part of water heater has container for accumulation of brine. Vacuum pipe is located relative to feeding tank such as to provide difference between upper point of inflection of vacuum pipe and water level in feeding tank in excess of 10 m. EFFECT: intensified evaporation process. 3 cl, 1 dwg
