Method and plant for desalinating salt-containing water, wherein the salt-containing water is passed through a heat exchanger (5) disposed in a basin (1) containing brine, whereupon the salt-containing water that has been heated in the heat exchanger (5) is passed through an evaporator (9) for evaporating at least part of the salt-containing water, after which the vapor thus formed is introduced into a condenser (12) so as to obtain water from which the salt has been removed. The plant for desalinating salt-containing water comprises a basin (1) that contains brine, in which a heat exchanger (5) is disposed, wherein means (6) for supplying the water to be desalinated are connected to an inlet of the heat exchanger (5), whilst an outlet of the evaporator (9) is connected to means for condensing the water vapour that has been formed in the evaporator (13, 12).
A method for desalinating salt-containing water, wherein the salt-containing water is passed through a heat exchanger disposed in a basin containing brine formed by several layers of water lying one above another in the basin, each layer of water having a higher salt content than a layer present there above said brine being heated by solar energy and the heat exchanger being disposed in the lowermost layer of water having a high temperature, whereupon the salt-containing water that has been heated in the heat exchanger is passed through an evaporator for evaporating at least part of the salt-containing water, after which the vapour thus formed is introduced into a condenser so as to obtain water from which the salt has been removed.
A plant for desalinating salt-containing water, comprising a basin that contains brine formed by several layers of water lying one above another in the basin each layer of water having a higher salt content than a layer present there above and to be heated by solar energy, in which a heat exchanger is disposed in the lowermost layer of water, wherein means for supplying the water to be desalinated are connected to an inlet of the heat exchanger and an inlet of an evaporator is connected to an outlet of the heat exchanger, whilst an outlet of the evaporator is connected to means for condensing the water vapour that has been formed in the evaporator.
