Desalination by solar energy assisted Membrane Distillation (SPR) (original) (raw)

Abstract

DESCRIPTION 2. High lights of the 2nd Progress report • Preliminary tests showed that the experimental setup is in good working conditions, • The PV power panel shows the expected trend of the performance with a reasonable time lag and response. • The solar collectors exhibit good performance up to a level about 90 C collector's outlet temperature. • Despite thermal insulation, the piping between the solar collectors in the 3rd floor level and the heat exchanger on the second floor level lose a significant part of the temperature gain at the collectors. However, it is still enough to drive the MD system. • Due to the high temperature of the local municipality water, and in order to achieve an acceptable level of the MD performance, it is necessary to shunt the MD loop to a proper sink, preferably, a sink powered by a vapor compression refrigeration cycle
