PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fresh water generator which employs a membrane distillation method, has high capability to generate fresh water, and reduces a load of maintenance such as cleaning.SOLUTION: The fresh water generator comprises: a treatment water chamber in which treatment water flows; a hydrophobic porous membrane that comes into contact with the treatment water in the treatment water chamber, and permeates water vapor generated from the treatment water; a condensation part which condenses and collects the water vapor that permeates through the hydrophobic porous membrane; pressurization means for the treatment water flowing into the treatment water chamber; and heating means for the treatment water pressurized by the pressurization means. |
