Solar-powered continuous distillation assembly having efficient heat recovery

Abstract

The invention relates to a distillation assembly (1) which, with the aid of solar energy (2), continuously evaporates a feed liquor (4). Said distillation assembly (1) comprises: a container (3) which contains the feed liquor (4), a container (5) in which the distillate (6) is collected, these containers (3,5) being in thermal contact, and a compressor (7). The compressor (7) compresses the vapour which is produced by boiling the feed liquor (4) using the concentration of solar energy (2) and / or using negative pressure, into the distillate container (5) such that the vapour condenses there, and the evaporation enthalpy and thermal energy is returned to the feed liquor (4) by the thermal contact
