No. The reason for this deals with the nature of condensation and solutions.

A solution is a liquid where the dominant liquid or solvent has other solids, liquids, or ions, in it called solutes. Saltwater is a solution where water is the solvent and the salts are the solutes.

When a solution boils, the solutes and solvents split apart. For example, vodka is a solution where water is a solvent and alcohol is the solute. Since alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water the alcohol boils off before the water does. In the case of saltwater, the water boils long before salt.

Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid. Since the water vapor does not carry salt (i.e. fresh water vapor from boiled saltwater), it does not condense as saltwater but as fresh water.

Add salt to water and get pure water back?

you should distille the water ( heat the water so it evaporates and let it condensate into a cup or a mirror)


Should a condensate pump have water in it?

Yes, a condensate pump should have water in it to effectively pump out the condensed water from an HVAC system.


What is a chemical way to remove salt from water?

HI To remove salt from water, boil the water and the steam from the boiling water will be free of salt. Salt is heavier than air so it cant follow the steam. Put a thick piece of aluminium above the steam at a thirty degree angle, the steam will condensate on the plate and flow down the slope into a container sitting beside the boiling water. Not only will it be free of salt it will be almost germ free.


Is condensate water safe to drink?

Condensate water is generally safe to drink if it has been properly collected and stored in a clean container. However, it is important to ensure that the condensate water does not come into contact with any contaminants that could make it unsafe to drink.

What exactly is the definition of condensate?

A condensate is a liquid that is formed from the process of condensation. An example of a condensate is the water that forms on the outside of a glass filled with water and ice on a very hot day.

How does a condensate trap work?

A condensate trap is a device used in steam systems to remove condensate (water formed from steam) while allowing steam to pass through. It typically operates using a float mechanism or a thermostatic element that detects the presence of condensate. When condensate accumulates, it raises the float or triggers the thermostat, opening a valve to discharge the water. Once the condensate is removed, the valve closes, preventing steam loss and maintaining system efficiency.


How does condensate return to a boiler?

Condensate is what you get when you condense steam (water) that was heated in a boiler to make the steam. I'm not sure what else you are looking for.


Is the AC condensate acidic?

Yes, AC condensate is typically slightly acidic due to the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide in the water.


Why does my furnace leak water and how can I fix it?

A furnace may leak water due to a clogged condensate line or a faulty condensate pump. To fix it, you can try clearing the condensate line using a wet/dry vacuum or replacing the condensate pump if it is not working properly. It is recommended to consult a professional HVAC technician for a thorough inspection and repair.


How do you convert pounds of steam to gallons of condensate?

One pound of steam condenses back to one pound of liquid water. Since one gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds, simply divide the weight of the condensate by 8.337 to find out how many gallons of condensate you have.
