Alternative absorption heat transformer configurations integrated with water desalination system

Comparative assessment of different categories of absorption heat transformers in water desalination process

“…III. Some appropriate values of effectiveness are considered for the heat exchangers [10,11,13]. IV.…”

“…All the considered processes are in steady state and the changes of kinetic and potential energies are ignored [10,11,13,16,20]. II.…”

“…They showed that by applying alternative configurations of SAHTs, an enhancement of 14.1% in COP was accessible in comparison to that of basic SAHT. The same configurations of [8] were coupled into desalination system by Parham et al [13]. They reported that the modified configuration of single stage absorption heat transformers was capable of producing distilled water at a rate of 0.2435 kg/s, which was enough for 2100 residential units.…”

Optimum performance of a double absorption heat transformer

“…The analysis is conducted by varying one parameter at a time while keeping the others at typical values. The temperatures and efficiencies ranges and typical values for the analysis are presented in Table 1 [27,28]. Under the typical working conditions, the system's COP is 0.31; ECOP is 0.56; and the mass flow rates at the state points 3, 4, 11 and 17 are 8.86 ⁄ 10 À3 , 8.52 ⁄ 10 À3 , 38.31 ⁄ 10 À3 and 25.18 ⁄ 10 À3 kg/s, respectively.…”

Optimal design criterion for Heat Transformer operating with Water Carrol

“…Several countries are investing significant amounts in the development of equipment to facilitate recovery and efficient use of energy [3]. This is of interest in new research and techniques to improve the use of energy resources.…”
