IRRIGATION AND WATER DESALINATION BY MEANS OF SOLAR ENERGY

摘要

The invention relates to a system for desalinating water, for example, from underground reservoirs, having a high content of dissolved salts or sea water using solar radiation, characterized in that the salt water (5) is heated in a flat evaporation channel (4) by the solar radiation occurring during the day within a preferably semicircular tunnel (1) connected tightly to the ground (6) and thus the water is evaporated from said salt water (5), further characterized in that the ground (6) beneath this cover is only partially covered by the evaporation channel (4), further characterized in that the part of the ground (6) still exposed is made of a mass that has the ability to store moisture and to release said moisture again, further characterized in that the connection (1a) of the transparent cover to the ground (6) is formed at least partially by a collection channel (2), in which the distillate (3) formed during the night on the then cool cover (1b) can collect.
