The invention relates to a device (1) for producing a stream of air (F'), wherein said device comprises an enclosure (10), which is intended for containing a volume of liquid (V), and which comprises at least one air-discharge opening (101), air-injection means (12) which make it possible to create and pass an incoming stream of air (F) from the outside of the enclosure into a volume of liquid (V) contained in the enclosure, by injecting said incoming stream of air (F) into said volume of liquid (V) underneath the surface of said volume of liquid (V), such that an outgoing stream of air (F'), treated by direct contact with the volume of liquid, is discharged from said enclosure by passing through the air-discharge opening (101) of the enclosure. The enclosure comprises one or more baffles (14; 14'; 14") which are positioned between the volume of liquid (V) and said discharge opening (101), and which make it possible to circulate the stream of air (F') exiting the volume of liquid until the discharge opening (101), causing same to undergo one or more changes of direction such as to prevent the spraying of liquid through the air-discharge opening (101).

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EVAPORATING A LIQUID, AND APPLICATIONS OF SAID DEVICE AND METHOD
The device for evaporating a liquid comprises an evaporation chamber (10) intended to contain a liquid that is to be evaporated and supply means (12) allowing a gas to be introduced into a liquid (11) that is to be evaporated contained in the evaporation chamber (10) so as to form bubbles of gas in the liquid and encourage the liquid to evaporate. The evaporation device may be employed in an installation that allows the production of electrical energy by evaporating/condensing seawater.
