โฆ Synopsis
The results of an experimenta investigation of the effects of container geometry on the recovery of product water from indirectly frozen sait water are presented. Saft water was frozen in containers having circtdar or rectangular crosssection, then allowed to melt and drain until the residual ice was potable. Thin rectangular cross-sections were found to be more effective than circular cross-sections. The product water recovery was found to increase with increasktg ice height up to 60 cm, beyond which the effect of height was negligible.
