Abstract
In Korea accelerated industry development and urbanization during the last three decades have led serious water pollution problems in many parts of the nation. Especially in the regions of west and south coast have low fresh water in the dry season of spring and summer. In the place isolated from land it is important to secure the fresh water for drinking and general service. This study is concerned on the thermal system design to develop low-pressure evaporation type fresh water gen-erator of capacity 1 ton/day using the heat source of non-operating boiler in the season of spring and summer. The results obtained from this study are as follows. the water quantitieds generated from experi-mental evaporator showed good coincidence with the calculated values. The maximum production quantity was 1.38ton/day at pressure 40mmHg abs. and temperature $80^{\circ}C$.
