A desalinating system and method is disclosed. The desalination system comprises using a turbo freeze or fast-cooling process to freeze saline water droplets and separate salt crystals from pure water crystals, wherein said system provides for simultaneous injection of saline water droplets and a chilled refrigerant into a freezing chamber at a slip velocity sufficient to reduce the size of the saline water droplets to an optimal diameter.

A compressor is provided including a casing, a hub, a flowpath, a plurality of blades defining a plurality of axially extending compressor stages and an endwall treatment formed in the casing on at least two downstream most stages of the plurality of compressor stages. The remaining stages of the plurality of compressor stages located upstream of the at least two downstream most stage are devoid of any endwall treatment. Each of the endwall treatments faces a tip of each blade in the at least two downstream most stages. The tip of each blade and the endwall treatment are configured to move relative to each other. The endwall treatment formed in the casing on at least two downstream most stages of the plurality of compressor stages is configured to extend a stall margin to delay stall due to ice ingestion. A method and engine application are disclosed.
