AUTONOMOUS SELF-ORIENTING SOLAR DESALTER-ELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC C02F1/14 H01L35/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the technology of desalination of sea and salt water; it can be used to obtain desalinated water and associated generation of electrical energy. A desalter-electrical generator contains a rectangular case made of heat-conducting material, a lid of which is covered with photocells on top and equipped with a storage unit. A case cavity is divided into an upper evaporation chamber and a lower condensation chamber. Inner surfaces of ends, sides and bottom of the condensation chamber are made with vertical and horizontal corrugations. Vertical and horizontal grooves are placed inside each corrugation. A vertical or horizontal thermoelectric converter is inserted into each groove, made of dielectric heat-conducting material, in the array of which contour armature is placed. The armature consists of thermoelectric elements, which are paired wire segments made of different metals, soldered together at ends parallel to each other, forming U-shaped rows. Extreme wire segments of each pair of U-shaped rows of thermoelectric converters are interconnected by jumpers and, together with photocells, are connected to output collectors, storage unit, pumps and other consumers. A roof of the case is made with a slope towards the release of feed water. An inclined evaporation tray is connected to the roof of the case by longitudinal partitions made of heat-conducting material and equipped with triangular holes. The storage unit is installed on the roof at the upper end of the case. A discharge pipeline is equipped with rotary nozzles with valves located horizontally and parallel to the right end of the case. Each pair of U-shaped rows of thermoelectric converters is connected in parallel to sectional collectors of the same charges, which together with photocells are connected to output collectors.

EFFECT: increased reliability and efficiency.
