Recovery of sweet drinking water, from sea or brackish water, uses a floating assembly with an absorber mat on the surface heated by solar energy and a suction head to draw the vapor into a condenser giving distilled condensation

摘要

The assembly to produce drinking water from the sea or brackish water, by condensation of damp air, uses solar energy directly or indirectly acting on a floating and absorbent absorber mat (1) to evaporate surface water (6). The vapor is drawn in by a suction head (2) with a fan (8) to pass through a condenser (4) immersed in the water, with a collection vessel (5) to hold the distilled condensation (7).
