Solar desalination (distillation)

The biggest problem of desalination is that it is expensive and energy consumption is high. This scheme uses solar thermal heat-collecting technology and solar green energy, which greatly reduces the energy consumption in the desalination process and provides a basis for further reducing desalination costs. For many current desalination technologies, this new slot solar catchment desalination system scheme is mainly aimed at the use of multi-stage flash ingenuation and low temperature multi-effect desalination technology.

In this scheme, the slotted solar heat collection system, which is connected directly to the steamer, reduces the intermediate heat exchange link, can improve the desalination efficiency and greatly reduce the cost.

The steamcondensator is designed as a system with multiple evaporation surfaces and condensation surfaces, the condensation potential heat of the previous level is transmitted to the evaporation surface at the next level, and then pushed to the last level of condensation surface feet, using the condensation potential heat of steam to preheat the sea water into the evaporation chamber so that the condensation potential heat of the steam can be reused. The heat transfer inside the steaming condenser uses the method of forced circulation, improves the heat transfer coefficient, improves the thermal performance of the steaming system, reduces the heat capacity of the sea water to be evaporated in the system, and quickly raises the temperature of the evaporation surface. This steaming system not only makes use of the condensation latent heat of steam many times, but also, because it strengthens its internal heat transfer process, it is relatively high in the temperature of its operation, and therefore the refore has a high water yield.

2.2 Process Description.

2.2.1 Pre-processing section .

Seawater water:

According to the coastal environment near the desalination plant, the available site is used in a feasible way of fetching water. The water intake is set up to intercept impurities, the intake is located below 2m below sea level, to ensure the continuous supply of seawater. The water is taken using a DN200 frittolutod pipe, which is secured with a cavity.

2.2.1.1 This design uses the following pre-treatment measures: .

Pretreatment consists of a sedimentation pool, a clarification pool, a dosing system (bactericidal algal ideants, coagulants, reducing agents, scale inhibitors, etc.), and a multi-media filter.

2.2.2 Solar heating system section.

The solar heat collection system is mainly composed of solar collector system, automatic tracking system, circulatory pump and circulation system, temperature control system instrument, etc.

5)The tracking system uses the self-developed single-axis tracking control system. The electric pushrod selected by the servo mechanism as the drive device is equipped with the crank linkage mechanism to ensure the system tracking accuracy and smooth operation. The tracking accuracy can be up to .1degrees. It can be designed as a remote control method to observe and control the scene through the central control room.

(2)Thermal circulation system.

It is mainly composed of circulating pump, circulation line, filtration system and control system. The system control is automatically controlled by temperature.

2.2.3 Desalination steaming device.

(1) The basic principles and process.

The treated seawater is transported to the heat exchanger through the cold seawater pipe in the condenser, heated to a certain temperature (steam state), introduced to a steaming chamber, and the hot seawater steam is sprayed on the cold seawater circulation pipe wall in the condensing device by spraying the system, which is the required fresh water after rapid condensation;

(2) The steaming chamber cold seawater circulation pipe is made of stainless steel pipe, and the fresh water produced by its condensation flows into the fresh water pool through the fresh water collection pipe.

(3) The hot sea water spray system uses iron or stainless steel pipes, which, after pressure from a high-pressure water pump, spray hot steam onto the wall of the cold seawater pipe. Due to the high temperature sea water caused by the fouling, corrosion phenomenon is serious, so the steel pipe after a period of use, need to be replaced regularly. Its structure is easy to install and remove. It greatly reduces the maintenance and repair work in the process of desalination and reduces the cost of the project.
