Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for moderating the temperature of a medium for growing microalgae and for distilling fresh water. In the system, the medium flows through a conduit having two ends and a bottom. As the sunlight passes into the medium, the algae grows and the medium is heated. For the system, an impermeable first liner is extended across the conduit to cover the bottom of the conduit. Further, a gas permeable/liquid impermeable second liner is extended across the conduit to cover the bottom of the conduit. With the second liner positioned on top of the first liner, vapor medium is only able to pass through the second liner. Also, a condensing mechanism is positioned between the first and second liners. Any vapor medium that passes through the second liner is condensed into fresh water. As a result, fresh water is distilled and the medium is cooled through condensation.
