[0002] Seawater desalination is the production of fresh water by desalination of seawater. The preparation of fresh water by seawater desalination technology can ensure the stable supply of drinking water for coastal residents or ships. Seawater desalination methods include seawater freezing method, electrodialysis method, distillation method, reverse osmosis method, cavitation method, etc. Among them, the cavitation method is to use cavitation technology to draw water vapor from seawater to desalinate the seawater. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN109851134A discloses a normal temperature and low pressure seawater desalination system based on induced cavitation technology. The system is generated by the water vapor of the induced cavitation generator. Due to the pressure difference on both sides of the filter membrane device, the water vapor is introduced into the liquid-gas jet pump to form a steam-water mixture, and the water vapor is pressed from the seawater circulation system into the fresh water circulation system to achieve seawater desalination. However, the device has a complex structure, requires a membrane filtration device, has high replacement costs, and is not convenient to install and use. Summary of the invention
