Abstract
A continuous supply of fresh water achieved through desalinization by a system of Venturi shafts to increase the velocity and pressure of air flow allowing for increased condensation and processing of evaporated water through a structure (1) that incorporates a blackened evaporation surface (16), concave Venturi wind walls (50), a vertical Venturi wind shaft (10), condensation chambers (5) connected by horizontally stacked hollow cylinders (61), a heat transfer duct (40) that draws cool air from a water body, vents hot air through an air exhaust port (48), and a water drainage port (35) that flows water to a reservoir (36).
Claims16
A process for desalinizing water, said process comprising:
- providing a blackened surface in contact with a body of water so as to heat air and evaporate said water from said blackened surface;
- channeling said heated air and water vapor upward through a vertical Venturi wind shaft creating an adiabatic pressure variance so as to release said water vapor into a first chamber of a series of interconnected chambers;
- allowing said water vapor to condensate within said chambers;
- draining said desalinized water from said chambers;
- expelling said heated air from said chambers;
- and, retaining said desalinized water.
A desalinization device to be used on the shore of a body of water, comprising:
- a. a housing, said housing with considerable height relative to said shore of said body of water;
- b. a series of interconnected chambers within said housing;
- said series of chambers having at least one first chamber and at least one last chamber in said series, with each of said chambers having at least one upper temperature zone and at least one lower temperature zone, each of which may be of a different temperature from the other upper and lower temperature zones of the other chambers;
- c. a generally vertical wind shaft connected to said housing, said shaft designed to create a Venturi effect, and said shaft having an upper shaft portion and a bottom shaft portion, said upper shaft portion opening into said first chamber and said bottom shaft portion having an opening;
- d. each said chamber having an upper zone and a lower zone, and each said chamber having a plurality of sides, a ceiling, and a bottom, said bottom located within said lower zone and designed to serve as a water collection basin;
- e. a blackened surface connected to said bottom shaft portion and said bottom shaft portion opening, said blackened surface designed to be in contact with an external body of water and said blackened surface further designed to absorb solar energy and to evaporate said water from said external body of water and to heat air, causing it to rise creating air movement into said bottom shaft portion opening;
- f. a water drainage throughway at said bottom and lower zone of said chamber, said water drainage throughway having a termination end, and said water drainage throughway designed so that gravity drains said water from said basin;
- g. an air exhaust port connected to said last chamber of said chamber series, said air exhaust port designed to expel air that has passed through said chambers out of said last chamber and said housing and further designed to create at least one Venturi effect, as air leaves the structure roughly to match the velocity of air entering the structure;
- and,
- h. at least one water reservoir, said water reservoir connected to said water drainage throughway termination end and designed to retain water, at least temporarily.
A desalinization device, comprising:
- a. a housing, said housing with an upper zone and a lower zone;
- b. a series of interconnected chambers within said housing;
- said series of chambers having at least one first chamber and at least one last chamber in said series;
- c. a generally vertical wind shaft connected to said housing, said shaft designed to create a Venturi effect, and said shaft having an upper shaft portion and a bottom shaft portion, said upper shaft portion opening into said first chamber and said bottom shaft portion having an opening larger than the opening at the top of the vertical Venturi shaft;
- d. each said chamber having an upper zone and a lower zone, and each said chamber having a plurality of sides, a ceiling, and a bottom, said ceiling being textured, said texture designed to provide surfaces for water to condensate on, and said sides being ribbed designed to allow the droplets of water to run down the sides, and said bottom located within said lower zone and designed to serve as a water collection basin;
- e. a blackened surface connected to said bottom shaft portion and said bottom shaft portion opening, said blackened surface designed to be in contact with an external body of water and said blackened surface further designed to absorb solar energy and to evaporate said water from said external body of water and to heat air, causing it to rise creating air movement into said bottom shaft portion opening;
- f. a water drainage throughway at said bottom and lower zone of said chamber, said water drainage throughway having a termination end, said termination end having an exit port, and said water drainage throughway designed so that gravity drains said water from said basin and delivers said water to said exit port;
- g. a vertical Venturi exhaust shaft connected to said last chamber of said chamber series, said vertical Venturi exhaust shaft designed to direct and expel air that has passed through said chambers out of said last chamber and said housing and further designed to create at least one Venturi effect forcing air upward and over the tops of said chambers to collect radiant heat, and expel it through an air exhaust port located at the top of said structure;
- h. at least one water reservoir, said water reservoir connected to said water drainage port and designed to retain water;
- i. generally horizontally stacked hollow cylinders, said generally horizontally stacked hollow cylinders designed to direct air and water vapor, said cylinders designed to be pitched at an angle to allow said water to drip and drain to said basins of said chambers and further designed to allow said water vapor that condensates to drip through said directed air and water vapor in order to cool said directed air and water vapor by removing heat from the air as it passes through the cascading droplets;
- j. concave wind walls adjacent to said blackened surface, said wind walls designed to be reflective surfaces to direct energy to said blackened surface and further designed to channel said water vapor into said bottom shaft portion opening;
- and,
- k. said concave wind walls having curved ends to maximize the collection of air flows from any given direction from above the surface of said body of water and to redirect said air flows into the wind wall Venturi and to said vertical wind shaft connected to said housing.
