A distillation and desalination system can include a refrigeration unit, a distillation unit, and a vacuum source positioned in the refrigeration unit. The distillation unit may include a distillation chamber containing a saline liquid and a headspace above the saline liquid, the headspace comprising a gas. The vacuum source may include a first chamber defining a first chamber volume, where gas transport is permitted into and out of the first chamber and the first chamber is fluidically coupled to the headspace of the distillation unit, and a second chamber defining a second chamber volume, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are fluidically isolated.

Combined heat source and vacuum source for low-cost distillation and desalination

A green master is maintained in a code repository. A code management system receives changes to the code and maintains an ordered revision queue. A hierarchical set of builds is defined with each build corresponding to a code change. A model is applied to determine a value for each build, with the value being based on the probability that the build will ultimately be used. A build schedule is determined based on the values for the builds and at least some of the builds are implemented to determine whether committing the corresponding code changes keep the master green or not. Code changes that keep master green are committed to the code repository.

A distillation and desalination system can include a refrigeration unit and a vacuum source positioned in the refrigeration unit. The vacuum source can include a first chamber defining a first chamber volume, a second chamber defining a second chamber volume, a flexible diaphragm dividing the first chamber and the second chamber; and a check valve permitting gas transport into and out of the first chamber, the check valve comprising an inlet and an outlet. The system can also include a distillation unit having a distillation chamber, a saline liquid in the distillation chamber, and a headspace above the saline liquid, the headspace comprising a gas. The inlet of the check valve can be fluidically coupled to the headspace of the distillation unit.
