    摘要: A connection system (100) comprises a connector (101) and a pipe (102). The pipe (101) is made from a hydrophilic membrane capable of pervaporating brackish water or such like as substantially pure water, such as Dutyion™. One feature of this material is that it expands significantly as it hydrates. The pipe (102) is generally cylindrical, but it is corrugated along its length, with roughly regular ridges (103) and grooves (104). The connector (101) has a side wall (106) defining a substantially cylindrical cavity (107). The inside surface (108) of the cavity (107) is corrugated in the similar way to the pipe (102). When the pipe (102) is in a dehydrated state, the cavity (107) of the connector (101) has a maximum diameter D greater than the maximum diameter B of the pipe (102) and a minimum diameter C less than the maximum diameter B of the pipe (102). The pipe (102) can be inserted in the cavity (107) of the connector in a dehydrated state. When the system (100) then carries water, the pipe (102) hydrates, which causes the pipe (102) to expand and its diameter to increase. This means that the ridges (103) of the pipe (102) expand into the grooves (110) of the cavity (107) and the pipe (102) fits more tightly into the cavity (107) and the seal between the pipe (102) and the cavity (107) is improved.

    摘要: An evaporation device has an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube is made of a hydrophilic membrane, such as DutyionT. The outer tube is preferably made of a material that readily absorbs solar radiation and is a good heat conductor. There is a gap between the inner tube and the outer tube for the flow of air. The inner tube contains a flow of impure water. The hydrophilic membrane allows water to pass to the outside of the inner tube as vapor, but prevents impurities from passing through. Air flowing in the gap takes up the water vapor and humidified air exits the evaporation device. This humidified air is subsequently cooled to collect the vapor and provide purified water, e.g. at a condenser.
