Patent number: 12233354Abstract: The invention relates to a system and device for desalination by liquid water jet compression, which is a phase-change desalination with a high-efficiency latent heat exchanger in which the pressure of the primary saturated vapor is increased until obtaining the secondary saturated vapor by injecting translational and rotational kinetic energy via pressurized water jets, so as to leave an unobstructed path through which the vapor flows at high speed in order to achieve a high flow rate and high efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignees: WGA WATER GLOBAL ACCESS, SLInventors: Juan Eusebio Nomen Calvet, Dan Alexandru Hanganu
