IISc scientists develop solar-powered desalination system

Edit Deccan Herald 07 Dec 2015
The system uses flash evaporation and subsequent condensation to desalinise sea water. “Evaporation of water under normal atmospheric pressure requires more energy than flash evaporation. Through flash evaporation, what we did was vary the pressure inside the evaporation chamber so that water can evaporate at any temperature, not just at 100 degrees,” said a release from IISc....
