DESALINATION PLANT, ESPECIALLY FOR USE IN MARINE AND HIGH SEA FACILITIES. IN A DESALINATION PLANT INCLUDING AN EVAPORATOR (2) A SEPARATOR (3) TO SEPARATE THE BRINE DROPS FROM THE VAPOR MIXTURE AND SUCH DROPS PRODUCED BY THE BOILING PROCEDURE IN THE EVAPORATOR (2), AND A CONDENSER (4) TO CONDENSATE THE VAPOR IN WATER THAT LEAVES THE PLANT BY AN OUTLET (18), THE NEW CHARACTERISTIC BEING THAT THE SEPARATOR (3) IS OF A TYPE WITH "DISTRIBUTED EFFECT", FOR EXAMPLE CONSISTING OF A NUMBER OF CELLS UNITED BY DEFLECTORS ( 24) IN ZIG-ZAG, PERFORMING EACH SUCH CELL CALLS A SEPARATING FUNCTION. WITH THIS PROVISION, THE CROSS-FLOW ZONE AND THEREFORE THE REQUIREMENT OF HORIZONTAL SPACE OF THE SEPARATOR (3) DOES NOT HAVE TO EXCEED THE EVAPORATOR (2), IN CONTRAST WITH THE PLANTS OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE, IN WHICH THE SEPARATOR INCLUDED A LARGE INVERT DISH NEEDING A LOT OF SPACE TO WORK, AS THE CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATING EFFECT ONLY HAS A PLACE ON ITS PERIPHERY.
