Abstract:
1. A working liquid purification system comprising: a. a concave heliostat; b. a heliostat stand, hingedly connected to a counter-current heat exchanger (CCHE); c. an inverted pyramid shaped heat exchanger having 4 or more sides, with an upper surface, a lower surface, and side walls therebetween, the lower 4 or more sided inverted pyramid shaped surface, configured to allow solar rays redirected from the heliostat to be reflected from a side of the lower surface hit by the redirected rays to another side of the lower surface; d. the counter-current heat exchanger (CCHE), in fluid communication with the inverted pyramid shaped heat exchanger, the counter current heat exchanger being substantially cylindrical, having a distal end operably connected to the heliostat and a proximal end in fluid communication with the shaped heat exchanger and configured to provide untreated working liquid to the shaped heat exchanger and collect liquid vapor from the shaped heat exchanger; e. a pump, the pump being in fluid communication with the counter current heat exchanger and a source of the working fluid; f. a second heat exchanger, in liquid communication with the counter current heat exchanger (CCHE) and a storage tank; g. a solar tracker operably connected between the concave heliostat and the heliostat stand, configured to adjust the elevation and direction of the heliostat; and h. a solar energy converter operably connected to the heliostat, capable of providing electricity to the pump, the second heat exchanger, the solar tracker or any combination thereof.
