Abstract

A Pressure Gradient Seawater Distillation System for distilling a fluid. The elements of the system are positioned to transmit heat to improve efficiency. Fluid enters an entry tube, cooling a photovoltaic panel and cooling water in an intermediate tube. The entry tube deposits fluid in an evaporator, where the fluid is heated to transform into a gas. The gas is transmitted to a condensing chamber, where the pressure is varied to assist in condensation. Condensed water is stored in a reservoir, where a splitter is used to transmit a portion of the excess water to an exit point, while the remainder of the water is cooled by heat exchange and transmitted to a nozzle in the condensing chamber. Water falls from the nozzle to capture water vapor in condensing the gas in the condensing chamber or in condensing regions of a single compartment distiller. A flow control element, a pressure valve, and pressure controls are included for managing fluid flow and pressure.
