Pressure Gradient Seawater Distillation System

A water distillation system comprising:

• an evaporator;
• the evaporator further comprising a heating element;
• the evaporator being adapted to hold a heated fluid;
• the evaporator further comprising a first evaporator entry point and a first evaporator exit point;
• a condensing chamber;
• the condensing chamber being adapted to be pressure-tolerant;
• the first evaporator exit point being in gaseous communication with the condensing chamber;
• the first evaporator entry point being in fluid communication with the entry tube;
• a nozzle;
• a reservoir;
• an intermediate tube;
• the intermediate tube comprising a first intermediate tube end and a second intermediate tube end;
• the nozzle being positioned inside the top of the condensing chamber such that water from the nozzle falls from the top of the condensing chamber to the bottom of the condensing chamber;
• an entry tube comprising a first entry tube end and a second entry tube end;
• the first entry tube end being in fluid communication with a water source;
• the second entry tube end being in fluid communication with the evaporator;
• the first intermediate tube end being in fluid communication with the reservoir;
• the second intermediate tube end being in fluid communication with the nozzle;
• and
• the intermediate tube being positioned adjacent to the entry tube, such that that intermediate tube and entry tube are configured to permit heat transfer.
