Desalinization

Claim 1

A CONTINUOUS DESALINIZATION PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES: EXTRACTING HEAT FROM SALINE WATER IN A PRECOOLER BY PASSING SAID SALINE WATER IN HEAT EXCHANGING RELATIONSHIP WITH COOLED RESIDUAL BRINE; PASSING THE PRECOOLED SALINE WATER INTO A FREEZE CHAMBER IN HEAT EXCHANGING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EVAPORATED PHASE OF A REFRIGERANT TO PARTIALLY FREEZE SAID SALINE WATER AND FORM A SUDGE OF ICE CRYSTALS FLOATING IN COOLED RESIDUAL BRINE; PASSING A FIRST PORTION OF SAID COOLED RESIDUAL BRINE TO SAID PRECOOLER; BRINGING SAID ICE CRYSTALS AND A SECOND PORTION OF SAID COOLED RESIDUAL BRINE INTO INTIMATE CONTACT WITH THE FIRST SIDE OF A ROTATING FILTER SCREEN; REMOVING AIR FROM THE SECOND SIDE OF SAID ROTATING FILTER SCREEN TO CREATE A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ACROSS SAID FILTER SCREEN TO ATTRACT SAID CRYSTALS THERETO; ROTATING SAID FILTER SCREEN TO REMOVE A PORTION OF SAID SCREEN AND THE ATTRACTED CRYSTALS THEREON FROM SAID SECOND PORTION OF COOLED RESIDUAL BRINE; PASSING RINSING AIR ACROSS SAID ATTRACTED CRYSTALS AND THROUGH SAID FROM ITS FIRST TO ITS SECOND SIDE; COOLING SAID RINSING AIR TO A TEMPERATURE JUST ABOVE THE MELTING TEMPERATURE OF SAID CRYSTALS TO MELT THE SURFACE OF SAID CRYSTALS AND REMOVE SALTS THEREFROM; REMOVING THE REMAINING ICE CRYSTALS FROM SAID SCREEN AND PLACING THEM IN HEAT EXCHANGING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPRESSED PHASE OF SAID REFRIGERANT TO MELT SAID CRYSTALS AND FORM FRESH WATER; AND RECYCLING THE MOISTURE LADEN AIR REMOVED FROM THE SECOND SIDE OF SAID FILTER SCREEN TO FUNCTION AS AT LEAST A PORTION OF SAID RINSING AIR SO THAT THE RINSING AIR WILL BE OF HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT IN ORDER TO INSURE WASHING OF THE CRYSTALS.
