Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for evaporating water using a closed-loop heating system and an evaporation subsystem. The heating system heats a first fluid to a lower temperature, and the evaporation subsystem uses a second fluid to absorb the heat from the first fluid. The second fluid is then flashed into its liquid and vapor phases in a flash tank, and the vapor is condensed in a condensing heat exchanger. The heat removed by the condensation process is then used to evaporate additional water. The method has the technical effect of efficiently evaporating water at a high rate.

Problems solved by technology

Power dissipates as heat in the water causing the water to increase in temperature and to vaporize.
