Need for desalinationPotable water is scarce
We have much more salt than fresh water

How it works:2K16
Feed water in
Centrifugal compressor used to compress vapor back into liquid
Boil water using heat exchanger + heating element
Heat is recycled using heat exchanger

Prototype
•Heat gun
•Air duct (galvanized steel)
•Modified mister
•Condenser coil (copper)

Controls Subteam
Use Aspen to simulate compression optimal conditions
Gathered temperature data to correlate heat applied vs. temperature
Goal: Create a PID control system to regulate temperature

What We Learned
Current Prototype does not meet desired yield
Prototype: Does not insulate properly, mister falls off, and current materials cannot withstand heat, vapor does not condense

Path Forward
3-D print a model which incorporates all components, even a compressor, and hopefully obtain a higher yield.
