SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTILLATION USING A CONDENSING PROBE AND RECYCLED HEAT

摘要

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.

1. A system of distillation, comprising:
a compressive section and an expansive section, said compressive section comprises an evaporator, a compressor, and a first condenser, wherein, said evaporator receives a first liquid and boils said first liquid obtaining a first vapor, said first vapor is then compressed by said compressor into said first condenser such that the temperature of the compressed first vapor is higher than the temperature in said evaporator, wherein said first condenser is placed within said evaporator and as said first vapor condenses, heat is given off and absorbed by said first liquid in said evaporator; wherein said expansive section acts as a power source and comprises a second liquid, and an expander which is in fluid communication with a boiler and a second condenser, wherein, said boiler is configured to absorb heat from its surroundings, and to generate a gas-phase from a liquid-phase of said second liquid, resulting in an increase in pressure in said boiler; wherein said second condenser is configured to expel heat to its surroundings, and generate a liquid-phase from a gas-phase of said second liquid, resulting in a decrease in pressure in said second condenser, wherein, the resultant difference in pressure between said boiler and said second condenser drives said expander, and thus, said compressor to which said expander is connected, and wherein there is a difference between the vapor pressure properties of said first liquid used in said compressive section and said second liquid used in said expansive section, such that said difference induces a mechanical advantage between said expander and said compressor, the system further comprising means for delivery of the liquid phase of said second liquid from said second condenser to said boiler.
