Abstract:
A system to distill seawater is disclosed. The system includes a condensing probe that serves to increase surface area and duration that heat is transferred. The system includes a first evaporator to receive seawater and boil the received seawater and produce a water vapor in addition to a boiler that contains a refrigerant R-410A. The system includes vertical blades placed across a bottom portion of the first evaporator, allowing precipitated salt to pass between the vertical blades and settle onto a tray located underneath the bottom of the evaporator. The tray is then compartmentalized as the vertical blades rotate horizontally and create a partition separating the tray from the seawater. The system includes a glass encasing that encapsulates the boiler wherein a vacuum is disposed within the glass encasing. The system includes a heating element coupled to a circulating fan to heat water vapor in the condenser.
