✦ Synopsis
The concept of a single-stage solar distillation plant with vaporization using adiabatic expansion in the gravitational field is presented. Due to this reversible flashing process, there is no need for a circulation pump to return the cooled brine to the high pressure zone. The research results obtained from the experimental apparatus are given along with observations regarding the process start-up procedure.

The methodology for the synthesis of heat exchanger networks links with power generating systems is applied to the synthesis of MSF systems. As a result, the structural variable is analized through thermodynamic concepts, an approach that has not been considered in most published papers in the area.
