A multi-effects desalination system includes a housing having a heating box, a plurality of vessels, a plurality of heat rods within each of the vessels, and a condenser unit. Each vessel is separated by a separator wall. Each heat rod extends through one of the separator walls, such that each heat rod has a first end extending into one vessel and a second end extending into an adjacent vessel. The desalination system also includes a plurality of sprayers, a plurality of demisters, and a plurality of trays. Each sprayer is configured to discharge feed water FW onto the second end of each heat rod in a respective vessel and each tray being configured to collect condensate or fresh water. The condensate collected in one to tray can be transferred to the condensate collection tray in an adjacent vessel. Further, the desalination system can also include a thermocompressor unit.
