Abstract:
1. A desalination system, comprising: a supply of saline water a solar heat source for heating saline water passing through the solar heat source; an insulated tank connected to the solar heat source, the tank having a capacity sufficient for holding the heated saline water therein at a predetermined water level, the tank having a top; an air distributor mounted at the top of the tank below the predetermined water level; an air atomizer connected to the air distributor, the atomizer having at least one nozzle oriented for directing a spray of heated saline water vertically upward, thereby flashing the heated saline water; a desalination chamber mounted on top of the tank, the desalination chamber enclosing the air distributor and the air atomizer, the desalination chamber having a top portion; an air-cooled condenser disposed at the top portion inside the condenser; an air blower connected to the condenser, the air blower forcing ambient air towards the condenser to be preheated thereby, and simultaneously facilitating condensation of water vapor from the spray of heated saline water, thereby desalinating the water and producing distilled water on the condenser; and connecting pipes directing air between the blower and the condenser and between the condenser and the distributor; wherein air flowing through the distributor forces the heated saline water through the atomizer to thereby flash the heated saline water vertically upward towards the condenser in order to extend evaporation and condensation exposure time and increase production of desalinated, distilled water.
