Abstract:
An apparatus for generating purified liquid from an input liquid, comprises, an evaporation chamber flooded with the input liquid and wherein the evaporation chamber generates saturated gases and comprises a shared wall with the condensation chamber and wherein the evaporation chamber is configured to generate evaporation cavities and condensation cavities on respective sides of the shared wall for a 2-phase counter flow of a liquid phase component and a gaseous phase component in composite flows for a 2-phase to 2-phase direct latent heat exchange. A condensation chamber has channels disposed in the input liquid, wherein liquid-saturated gases are generated therefrom in the evaporation chamber. The apparatus is operated as a four-port counter-flow heat exchanger where two different fluids are exchanging heat based on the inlet ports of both fluids being on opposite sides and the outlet ports of both fluids are also on opposite sides of the evaporator and condenser.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus for generating purified liquid from an input liquid, comprising,\n a condensation chamber comprising multiple channels, wherein the channels are tubes, wherein the multiple channels comprise a first group of channels and a second group of channels, wherein the second group of channels are perforated to allow the input liquid to flood the second group of channels, wherein the channels of the first group and the second group of channels are interlaced such that each one of the channels of the first group is surrounded by the input liquid, and the purified liquid is outputted at a second end of the first group of the channels; an evaporation chamber flooded with the input liquid and wherein the evaporation chamber generates saturated gases and comprises a shared wall with the condensation chamber and wherein the evaporation chamber is configured to generate evaporation cavities and condensation cavities on respective sides of the shared wall for a 2-phase counter flow of a liquid phase component and a gaseous phase component in composite flows for a 2-phase to 2-phase direct latent heat exchange; a compressor having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the compressor is operatively connected to the evaporation chamber to receive saturated gases from the evaporation chamber, wherein the compressor is operatively connected to a first group of channels of the condensation chamber, wherein the compressor outputs supersaturated gases to the first group of channels of the condensation chamber via a first end of the first group of the channels of the condensation chamber, wherein the channels are submerged in the input liquid, wherein the saturated gases are generated from the input liquid, wherein the compressor receives the saturated gases via the inlet, wherein the compressor pressurizes the saturated gases to generate supersaturated gasses, wherein the supersaturated gases are expelled to a first end of the first group of the channels via the outlet, wherein the purified liquid is outputted at a second end of the channels, wherein a plurality of the walls of the first group of channels are heat exchange walls, wherein latent heat is transferred between the input liquid and the channels via the walls of the channels, wherein the tubes each have spacers, wherein the tubes are grouped together, and wherein the input liquid flows in between the tubes; and a micro bubble generator configured to recirculate a portion of the liquid and gases of the condensation chamber and the evaporation chamber, wherein the bubble generator is configured to permeate the input liquid with percolating gas bubbles which are adapted to form hanging bubbles beading right below a heat exchange surface of the evaporator chamber; and a P-trap channel comprising a first end operatively connected the condensation chamber and a second end operatively connected to the bubble generator disposed in the evaporation chamber, wherein the P-trap channel and the bubble generator are configured to recirculate a portion of the saturated gasses from the condensation chamber to the evaporation chamber.
