Abstract

Multiple effects with vapor compression distillation apparatus includes a plurality of parallel cylinders or plates for recovery of heat having opposed evaporation and condensation faces for alternately evaporating and condensing. There are forward, backward and parallel feeding method to the upper end of the cylinders or plates for gravity flow along the evaporator face of the cylinders or plates with vapor condensing on the opposite condensation faces. Compressor is included as means for collecting and recovering the condensed product from the system. Alternate embodiments including a solar heat input system and other combined configurations.
