Abstract:
1. A desalinization method for purifying water including the steps of: (a) establishing a vertically directed primary tank containing a heated silicone composition within a silicone heating zone of said primary tank; (b) charging said vertically directed primary tank with a preheated saltwater solution within said silicone heating zone at an upper section of said vertically directed primary tank; (c) passing said preheated saltwater solution through a heated silicone composition in said silicone heating zone by gravity assist to an initially heated saltwater zone within a lower section of said vertically directed primary tank, said preheated saltwater solution in the silicone heating zone maintaining direct immiscible contact with said heated silicone composition for heating thereby; (d) fluidly driving said initially heated saltwater solution in said initially heated saltwater zone to return via a heating conduit back through said silicone heating zone to produce steam; and (e) condensing said steam to produce purified water.
