A desalinization device including a portable, spherical tank with conduits to introduce water to be converted into steam in the lower zone of the tank and guide structure to guide the steam into a condensate bowl within the tank where it is collected; the device also includes a conduit means to conduct cooling water to a cooling coil arranged in the condensate bowl to condense the steam; and within the conduits there is provided a Venturi arrangement in communication with the interior of the tank to reduce the pressure within the tank, hence lowering the boiling point of the water being heated; in a preferred embodiment Peltier devices are included as heat exchanging means in a heating and cooling circuit.

A desalinization device comprising, (a) a main tank having a substantially closed configuration and including an upper zone and a lower zone, (b) a condensate collector bowl supported within said tank and having an open upper end, a wall and a floor, said open upper end communicating with an interior of said tank and being disposed in said upper zone thereof, (c) a cooling coil disposed within said bowl and formed of tubular material structured to allow cooling water to pass therethrough, (d) heater means disposed in said lower zone and means to introduce water into said lower zone to be heated and thereby converted into steam, (e) guide means for guiding steam into interruptive engagement with said cooling coil for condensation thereof, (f) said guide means extending through said cooling coil and comprising a lower flow guide disposed on the interior of said bowl and protruding outwardly from a lower end of said cooling coil, (g) said guide means further comprising an upper flow guide extending outwardly from an upper end of said cooling coil and through said open end of said bowl into said upper zone of said tank, (h) said tank, bowl and guide means cooperatively structured to define a path of fluid flow of steam from said lower zone of said tank to said cooling coil, (i) said path of fluid flow successively comprising an interior wall surface of said tank, an exterior surface of said bowl wall and an exterior surface of said upper flow guide; and interior surface of said bowl wall and exterior surfaces of both said upper and said lower flow guides, (j) a condensate passage disposed adjacent to a peripheral edge of said lower flow guide and between said peripheral edge and the interior surface of said bowl wall, said condensate passage structured to allow flow therethrough of condensate to said bowl floor, (k) means to produce a vacuum for reducing the pressure in the tank thereby reducing the temperature required to convert heated water in the lower zone into steam and to urge steam flow along said path of fluid flow, said tank having an exit port above said open bowl end to communicate steam flow from the bowl in the tank, a first conduit means including valve means to control flow through the device of water being heated and converted into steam and water to flow through said cooling coil, said first conduit means including regulator valves.
