Abstract:
1. Method for purifying a liquid comprising: a) heating a liquid comprising a salt flow with at least one heating element; b) spraying the heated salt flow to form a liquid droplet flow and residual particles; c) applying an electric charge to both the liquid droplet flow and to a condensation surface; d) evaporating the liquid droplet flow wherein a water vapor flow and a residual particle flow are created; e) forming a condensate on the condensation surface with the water vapor flow; wherein the water vapor flow is guided to the condensation surface, and wherein the residual particle flow is repelled by the condensation surface; and f) discharging separately the condensate and the residual particle flow, wherein the condensate is discharged through the condensate surface.
