DEKA Slingshot Tackling the Gigantic Goliath of Bad Water 1. Heat Exchanger The cold source water is heated as it flows past the warm clean water. Cold Source Water Warm Clean Water 2. Evaporator The preheated source water enters the evaporator from the bottom. It’s heated as it rises through the copper tubes. Plastic dowels are placed inside the tubes to restrict flow, creating a thin film of water between the dowel and exposed tube. The copper tube acts as a condenser for the clean steam, aiding in evaporation. 3. Compressor The compressor raises the pressure from 7 to 9 psi. This also increases the temperature of the steam. The difference in temperature allows the steam to condense on the “cooler” evaporator tubes. 4. Condenser The hot steam condenses on the “cooler” tubes producing pure clean water. The condensing steam provides the energy needed for evaporation. Repeat steps 1~4 DEKA’s engineers and designers played an integral role in developing a highly efficient device which allows for the production of pure, clean water while using low levels of electricity, that is simple to operate and requires little ongoing maintenance. Coca-Cola and DEKA piloted the Slingshot technology at schools in Ghana in 2011-2012 and installed units at schools in Pilar, Paraguay and health clinics in the Eastern Cape of South Africa in 2013-2014. Slingshot provided emergency relief in Dominica following Tropical Storm Erika in 2015. Slingshot systems were installed and operational within days and provided clean water on the island until water service was restored in that area. DEKA Research & Development Corp.
