Abstract

594,131. Utilizing solar heat. MILLER, W. H. Sept. 14, 1944, No. 17606. Convention date. Dec. 24, 1943. [Class 64 (ii)] A solar distillation apparatus comprises a floatable inflatable envelope in two sections, 2 and 4 respectively, the upper section 2 of which is transparent, and a black evaporator pad 8 supported within the envelope by strings 14 and 16 so that it does not make contact with the walls of the envelope when inflated. The liquid to be distilled, e.g., sea water, is drawn up by capillary action through the wicks 28, the lower parts 30 of which extend outside the envelope, to the pad 8 where it is evaporated, the condensate collecting in a container 36 carried below a nipple 34 in the lower section. The casing may be used as a sea-anchor 44.
