<p>A system for distilling, purifying or desalinating liquids. A tower of superimposed subunits, includes a superimposed vapour chamber subjected to vacuum, an intermediate subunit functioning as a heating chamber and a lowest subunit functioning as a sedimentation chamber. A partial wall separates the vapour chamber from the heating chamber. A heating unit heats the liquid in the heating unit. A shutter at the bottom of the intermediate subunit is disposed above the sedimentation subunit to facilitate release of sediments into said sedimentation subunit. Also claimed is a system for collecting chimney exhaust comprising a constriction in the shaft of the chimney, a widening in said shaft above said constriction, a conical plug forming a narrow gap with the lining of said widening, an irrigation system for coveting the faces of the widening with water and a trough for collecting the water. The system can be connected to an intermediate subunit of the distillation apparatus to transfer water thereto for treatment. The distillation system may also be used to produce fruit juice concentrates.</p> |
