An open air–vapor compression refrigeration system for air-conditioning and desalination on ship

Experimental study for hybrid humidification–dehumidification water desalination and air conditioning system

“…A new concept of produced water purification by humidification-dehumidification (HD) process in which lowtemperature energy sources, such as co-produced geothermal energy or solar energy that could be used to drive the water desalination process was developed by Xinhua Li [15]. An open air-vapor compression refrigeration system for both air-conditioning and desalination on ship cooled by seawater was presented by Houa et al [16]. An experimental investigation for dehumidification process of a wavy-finnedtube direct expansion cooling coil under humid condition was carried out by Huzayyin et al [17].…”

Mathematical modeling and environmental analysis of heat pumps integrated in aprocess to treat spent pickling liquors

“…As investigated in literature, recent research efforts had focused on waste heat recovery from the refrigeration cycle as an energy source for an low-temperature multi-effect evaporation system (Wang and Lior, 2011;Janghorban et al, 2011;Hou et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2014). However, combing highly efficient desalination systems such as multi-effect evaporation-absorption heat pump with refrigeration systems to cogenerate freshwater and cooling was scarce (Esfahani et al, 2014).…”

An open reversed Brayton cycle with regeneration using moist air for deep freeze cooled by circulating water

“…Hou et al gave an open air-vapor compression refrigeration system for air conditioning and hot water cooled by cool water [38] and an open air-vapor compression refrigeration system for air conditioning and desalination on ship [39].…”
