This paper describes a novel system of solar assisted heat pump desalination. A single effect desalination unit has been designed and fabricated, and it is connected to an existing solar assisted heat pump. The system consists of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, solar evaporator-collector, desal

In this paper, the effects of tube materials and profiles on the thermal performance of a single-effect evaporator have been investigated. Three different types of tube profiles, such as, single-fluted aluminum tube, smooth Cu–Ni (90–10) tube and corrugated Cu–Ni (90–10) tube have been used for the

In this paper, performance of different pretreatment systems used in the seawater reverse osmosis desalination process is presented. The different pretreatment techniques analyzed included conventional media-filtration technique and non-conventional membrane filtration techniques. For the membrane f
