Abstract:
A process for the desalinization of saltwater comprising the steps of:introducing saltwater having a first temperature into a humidity chamber comprising, storing saltwater in a saltwater feed container; introducing said saltwater having said first temperature to a saltwater basin located within said humidity chamber; heating said saltwater to said first temperature comprising; storing heating water in an insulated tank; heating said heating water to a third temperature through the use of at least one solar collectors; introducing said heating water to at least one heating coils located within said saltwater basin thereby heating said saltwater to said first temperature; introducing cooling water having a second temperature into said humidity chamber, wherein the difference between said first temperature and said second temperature creates a temperature gradient which causes evaporation of said saltwater during which salt-free water molecules evaporates into water vapor and separate from the salt and salt-related constituent compounds contained within said saltwater; providing a surface to allow said salt-free water vapor to form a condensed salt free water; and collecting said condensed salt free water.
