Abstract
The desalination system is a multi-stage flash desalination (MSF) system. Each stage has a P-shaped chamber having a flashing section extending vertically, a condensing section extending horizontally to overlay the flashing section of the next succeeding stage, and a demister (a device to separate liquid droplets entrained in vapor) separating the flashing section and the condensing section. One or more heat pipes extend between the condensing section of each stage and the flashing section of the next succeeding stage in order to transfer heat released by the condensing vapor in one section to the colder flashing section of the next succeeding chamber. The system includes a seawater-cooled condenser in the last stage to recover fresh water from the water vapor. The system may be modified by replacing or supplementing the condenser in the last stage with a thermal vapor compressor (TVC) to transfer vapor to the first stage.
