“…Hawlader [4] studied and described a novel solar-assisted heat pump desalination system and a good water production was obtained. Slesarenko [5] suggested incorporating heat pumps as a source of heat energy for seawater desalination plants. Two plants were proposed: desalination plant with compression heat pump operated with R12 and a steam and water cycle plant.…”

“…Relatively, few researchers have attempted to use refrigerants as the working fluid in desalination systems. In 2001, Slesarenko proposed a desalination system that includes a heat pump as a heat energy source and R12 as the compressed working fluid. Attia developed a low‐temperature heat‐pump seawater distillation system in which the saturation temperature and pressure are reduced by raising the system above sea level and in which various refrigerants can be incorporated as the working fluid of the heat‐pump compressor.…”

Thermal distillation systems are widely used in the evaporation concentration industry, and the steam is the heating medium of these systems. However, due to the low density of the steam, the volume of equipment and piping is large. Especially in the mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) systems, high impeller exit line speed often occurs in steam compressors, which will cause compressor blades failure easily. In order to solve this problem, an experimental system called a vapor compression heat pump combined with double‐stage forced‐circulation evaporators (VCHP‐FCE) was developed. The system incorporates the refrigerant, R‐22, which offers an energy recycling benefit. R22 is used as the heat resource and has a higher energy‐carrying ability per unit volume than steam. The advantages relative to traditional thermal distillation system include a smaller device size, compact structure and no need for steam resource. Experimental facilities were established to analyze the thermal parameters and performance of the proposed system. The preheating temperature, which was correlated with the refrigerant's evaporation temperature, was the decisive factor affecting the system. A positive correlation was identified between the system's water production rate and the preheating temperature. Based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, we analyzed the energy balance and the exergy loss of the system. The proportion of energy loss in each unit and the complete system exergy efficiency as a function of the environmental temperature were determined, which together indicated directions for system improvement.
