ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for converting seawater or other contaminated water into pure water for reuse including: a source of the contaminated water; a first horizontal housing connected to the source of contaminated water and having a heat exchanger therein for vaporizing the contaminated water therein; a vertical housing connected to the distal end of the first horizontal housing for fluid communication therebetween; a second horizontal housing connected at its proximate end to the vertical housing for fluid communication therebetween, the second horizontal housing having a heat exchanger therein for condensing vapor therein; a weir vertically mounted in the first housing for retaining a portion of the contaminated water in the first housing and allowing the other portion of the contaminated water to pass through the heat exchange evaporator from the proximate to distal end of the first housing. Contaminated water in the distal end of the first housing is allowed to pass into the vertical housing and settle therein; vapor in the distal end of the first housing is forced into the vertical housing and rises therein; a mesh filter provided in the vertical housing extracts contaminated vapor from the vapor rising in the vertical housing, the mesh filter being positioned in the vertical housing intermediate the connection of the vertical housing with the first and second horizontal housings. An outlet is connected to the second horizontal housing near the distal end thereof for drawing off the distillate condensed therein.
