2. Slingshot (water vapor distillation system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot_(water_vapor...

   Slingshot is a water purification device created by inventor Dean Kamen. [1] Powered by a Stirling engine running on a combustible fuel source, it claims to be able to produce drinking water from almost any source [2] by means of vapor compression distillation, [3] requires no filters, and can operate using cow dung as fuel.

3. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

   A vapor-compression evaporator, like most evaporators, can make reasonably clean water from any water source. In a salt crystallizer, for example, a typical analysis of the resulting condensate shows a typical content of residual salt not higher than 50 ppm or, in terms of electrical conductance , not higher than 10 μS/cm .

4. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

   An evaporator, distiller or distilling apparatus is a piece of ship's equipment used to produce fresh drinking water from sea water by distillation. As fresh water is bulky, may spoil in storage, and is an essential supply for any long voyage, the ability to produce more fresh water in mid-ocean is important for any ship.

5. Solar still - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still

   This water would typically evaporate with the morning sun and thus vanish, but the lid traps the evaporating water and raises the humidity within the trap, reducing the amount of lost water. The shade produced by the lid also reduces the temperature within the trap, which further reduces the rate of water loss to evaporation.

6. Water dispenser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_dispenser

   The delivery of water in a water cooler comes in two main forms, namely bottled variants, or plumbed directly from the main water supply. The water is normally pumped into a water tank to be heated or chilled, depending on the model of the water cooler. Modern versions include hybrid models that are able to utilize both methods.

7. Distilled water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water

   Bottled distilled water can usually be found in supermarkets or pharmacies, and home water distillers are available as well. Water purification, such as distillation, is especially important in regions where water resources or tap water is not suitable for ingesting without boiling or chemical treatment. Municipal water supplies almost always ...

8. Retort - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retort

   A copper retort A glass retort. In a chemistry laboratory, a retort is a device used for distillation or dry distillation of substances. It consists of a spherical vessel with a long downward-pointing neck.

9. Distilling ship - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilling_ship

   A distilling ship is a class of military ships, generally converted tankers, with the capability to convert salt water into fresh water. They were typically stationed at forward bases during conflict where they supported on-the-ground troops and front line naval units.
