All the heat you'd ever need is just dumped up the stack on many nice boats that COULD be making clean water whenever the engine was running.... They used to make yacht size stills that ran on the waste heat from the engine. They got more than a gallon of water per gallon of fuel burned, so you carry fuel instead of water, and have more range. Casady Did they run on heat alone or was there a vacuum pump involved? I once maintained a system that, powered by a Perkins, used both.And, frankly was an absolute ******* to keep running. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
