Seawater solar desalination system

A solar desalination or distillation system comprising a solar heat collector panel for receiving tainted water and converting the tainted water into steam by solar radiation, a steam flow pipe leading out from the heat collector panel, primary cooling chamber means in heat exchange relation with the steam flow pipe for condensing steam flowing from the heat collector panel into fresh water, a fresh water tank connected to a bottom section of the steam flow pipe for receiving condensate from the steam flow pipe by gravity flow, the primary cooling chamber means comprising at least one water tank jacketing the steam flow pipe, said cooling chamber means having an inlet end and an outlet end, said inlet end connected to inlet air-lock regulator piping for introducing raw tainted water into the system, said outlet end being connected to the heat collector panel for delivering make-up tainted water to the heat collector panel and outlet air-lock regulator piping connected to an extending below the heat collector panel for discharging excessively tainted water collected in the heat collector panel, whereby tainted water is caused to flow from the inlet air-lock regulator piping, through the primary cooling chamber means, to the heat collector panel and through the outlet air-lock regulator piping by pressure differentials created in the system by generation of steam in the heat collector panel, wherein said inlet air-lock regulator piping and said outlet air-lock regulator piping each comprises a plurality of vertically extending tubes interconnected in a serpentine arrangement for the formation of alternating water columns and air-lock pockets therein.
