SOLAR DESALINIZATION PLANT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A desalinization plant comprising:
- a concentrated solar power system;
a heat exchanger in fluid communication with said concentrated solar power system through a seawater loop to transfer energy to seawater within said seawater loop to extract steam from the seawater;
a turbine driven by the steam; and
a condenser downstream of the turbine to produce freshwater from the steam.
