1. A desalination device comprising:
a latent heat exchanger housed within a shell, the latent heat exchanger having:
an inlet for seawater or an aqueous solution;
an evaporation chamber having an evaporating surface;
a condensation chamber having a condensing surface;
at least one primary water vapor outlet;
at least one secondary water vapor inlet; and
at least one vapor path connecting the evaporating surface by the at least one primary water vapor outlet to the condensing surface by the at least one secondary water vapor inlet; and
a liquid water pressure pump that provides pressurized water flow to a pressure nozzle configured to produce a liquid water jet into the primary water vapor in the at least one vapor path, inputting kinetic energy to the primary water vapor and causing a rise in the temperature and pressure thereof to form the secondary water vapor.
