A water desalination system including at least one pair of evaporators, said pair including a high pressure and a low pressure evaporator, each for evaporating saline water to produce water vapour; at least three adsorption beds in selective vapour communication with each evaporator, said adsorption beds arranged to reversibly adsorb the water vapour from the corresponding evaporator; said adsorption beds in selective vapour communication with a condenser, and in heat transfer communication with a heat source for selectively desorbing the adsorbed water vapour; said condenser arranged to condense the water vapour to desalinated water; wherein said system is arranged to sequentially connect, for a pre-determined period, each evaporator to a corresponding adsorption bed, and the heat source to the third bed.
