Abstract
Apparatus and method are provided for treatment of impotable water and for optionally simultaneously creating surplus electricity. Briefly, water is marshaled through a series of chambers by variances in pressure which are created as the water changes state from liquid to gas and from gas to liquid. The source or input water moves through the system, first heated, then vaporized where the impurities fall out, then pushed and pulled through a nozzle where it turns the blades of a turbine-type generator, and finally condensed where the newly-distilled water is removed from the system.
Claims18
A system for treating impotable water comprising:
- a water heater;
- an inlet configured to admit input water into the water heater;
- an evaporation chamber, the evaporation chamber comprising an evaporation chamber inlet and an evaporation chamber outlet, the evaporation chamber being fed with heated input water from the water heater through the evaporation chamber inlet and wherein the evaporation chamber is configured so that the heated input water vaporizes therein to form a moist vapor;
- a nozzle connected to the outlet of the evaporation chamber and configured for passage of the moist vapor therethrough;
- a condensation chamber connected to receive the moist vapor from the nozzle and configured for treated water to condense therein;
- a vacuum source connected to draw the moist vapor through the nozzle and into the condensation chamber;
- a tube connected and configured to receive a recirculation portion of the treated water from the condensation chamber, to cool the recirculation portion of the treated water, and to admit the recirculation portion of the treated water into the nozzle.
A method of treating impotable water comprising:
- heating input water obtained in a water heater;
- vaporizing the heated input water in an evaporation chamber to form a moist vapor;
- transmitting the moist vapor through a nozzle and into a condensing chamber;
- condensing the moist vapor received from the nozzle to form treated water and discharging at least some of the treated water;
- using a vacuum source to draw the moist vapor through the nozzle and into the condensation chamber;
- recirculating and cooling a recirculated portion of the treated water from the condensation chamber and admitting the recirculation portion of the treated water into the nozzle.
