Inventor(s) Pedro Joaquin Sanchez Belmar Device and method for distilling water

Claims
What is claimed is: 1. A water distiller comprising: a sub-atmospheric boiler having a non-recirculating brine section, an input, a brine output and a vapor output, the input for water to be distilled, the brine output for brine, and the vapor output for water vapor; a compressor connected to the vapor output for heating the water vapor; and an heated vapor line connected to an output of the compressor, the heated vapor line heating the brine section; and a centrifuge connected to the brine output. 2. The water distiller as recited in claim 1 wherein the heated vapor line passes through the brine section. 3. The water distiller as recited in claim 1 wherein the heated vapor line forms a heated distillate line which heats an input line connected to the input. 4. The water distiller as recited in claim 3 wherein the heated vapor line includes a pressure valve, after which the heated distillate line begins. 5. The water distiller as recited in claim 1 further comprising the brine, wherein the brine section includes the brine, the brine having a salinity of greater than 200 grams per liter. 6. The water distiller as recited in claim 5 wherein the brine has a salinity of between 250 and 350 grams per liter. 7. The water distiller as recited in claim 1 further comprising a controller having an input for monitoring a salinity of the brine section. 8. The water distiller as recited in claim 1 further comprising a separate desalinator, the separate desalinator having a waste brine output connected to the input for water to be distilled. 9. A water distiller comprising: brine; a sub-atmospheric boiler having a brine section containing the brine, the brine having a salinity greater than 150 grams/liter, an input, a brine output and a vapor output, the input for water to be distilled, the brine output for the brine, and the vapor output for water vapor; a compressor connected to the vapor output for heating the water vapor; and an heated vapor line connected to an output of the compressor, the heated vapor line heating the brine section of the boiler; and a centrifuge connected to the brine output. 10. The water distiller as recited in claim 9 wherein the salinity of the brine is between 250-350 grams per liter. 11. A water distiller comprising: a sub-atmospheric boiler having a brine section having brine with brine section salt and brine section water, an input, a brine output and a vapor output, the input for water to be distilled, the brine output for the brine, and the vapor output for water vapor; a compressor connected to the vapor output for heating the water vapor; an heated vapor line connected to an output of the compressor, the heated vapor line heating the brine section of the boiler; a controller releasing the brine through the brine output when a concentration of the brine section salt reaches at least 150 grams per liter of the brine section water; and a centrifuge connected to the brine output.
