Design of a Four-Effect Desalination Demonstration Plant Using Waste Heat from a Diesel Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

The advantages and disadvantages of the conventional desalination methods were discussed. A four-effect desalination demonstration plant using waste heat from a diesel engine was designed. Not only the water yield but also the physical dimension of the distiller has been calculated under the operating condition. The analysis of energy consumption shows that the desalination system is low-cost.
