2. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

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

   This steam evaporator aboard HMS Belfast distilled up to six tons of fresh water per hour for the boiler and for drinking. 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 ...

3. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

   Multiple-effect distillation or multi-effect distillation (MED) is a distillation process often used for sea water desalination. It consists of multiple stages or "effects". In each stage the feed water is heated by steam in tubes, usually by spraying saline water onto them.

   Chaplin distillers were also used in land settings. During the Sudan Campaigns (1881–1885 and 1896–1899), British forces used the distillers to supply their soldiers with fresh drinking water in Suakin and Sudan.

   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.

7. Multi-stage flash distillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_flash_distillation

   Such plants can operate at 23–27 kWh/m 3 (appr. 90 MJ/m 3) of distilled water. [ 5 ] Because the colder salt water entering the process counterflows with the saline waste water/distilled water, relatively little heat energy leaves in the outflow—most of the heat is picked up by the colder saline water flowing toward the heater and the ...
