Vapor Compress Flash: Synthesis and Progress on Seawater Desalination Methods

Abstract:

Among the modern seawater desalination methods, this article analyzes and induces the question of the second vapor condensing latent heat loss of the open heat process in multi-stage flash. Then this article synthesizes its merits and proposes for the first time the newest and the best and integrated vapor compress flash seawater desalination method, in witch a flash with the best product water quality is driven by a vapor compress with the highest heat-power efficiency, with technical superiorities such as the lowest investment cost and independent flash operation and modularization combination production and so on.
