Evaporator

This paper presents the characteristics of a solar desalination system based on the humidification–dehumidification principle. The system which, can be used in an open or closed cycle for air, is a modular one. It has the following independent components: two solar collectors, an evaporator and a co

The operational experience on the first generation of large MSF desalination plant has demonstrated that the original expected life of these units has been largely exceeded. Several contracts for the rehabilitation and upgrading of desalination units installed 20 years ago have been recently awarded

Desalination processes based on multi effect are in wide use in the chemical industry for separation of ingredients from solution mixtures. However, seawater desalination using this process has not achieved the commercial importance compared to the multi stage flash process in terms of the total ins

In this study, heat transfer of air-water-vapour mixtures in a desalination plant, using the aero-evapocondensation process is studied experimentally. The present process consists in a falling film evaporator and a condenser. The prototype is designed to work at low temperatures (60°C–90°C) using a
