Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'assainissement de l'eau comprenant une chambre interne et une chambre externe disposée au moins partiellement autour de la chambre interne. Une lentille concentre l'énergie solaire appliquée à un liquide dans la chambre interne. Une source de vide communique séparément avec la chambre interne et la chambre externe. La source de vide commande une pression à l'intérieur de la chambre interne séparément de la chambre externe pour commander la conversion du liquide à l'intérieur de la chambre interne en un gaz. La chambre extérieure, également sous vide, est une couche isolante qui prévient la perte de chaleur.
