Type of article: Article

Summary

THE APPLICATION OF A VACUUM-FREEZE EVAPORATOR AS PART OF LARGE HEAT PUMP INSTALLATIONS PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COMBINING HEATING, COOLING AND (SEA)-WATER DESALINATION IN A COST-ADVANTAGEOUS WAY. BESIDES ACTING AS A HEAT SOURCE FOR THE HEAT PUMP, THE FREEZING OPERATION ALSO YIELDS ICE WHICH CAN BE USED FOR LONG OR SHORT TERM STORAGE OF COOLING CAPACITY. BECAUSE ICE IS FORMED IN A PURE CRYSTALLINE FORM, POTABLEWATER CAN BE OBTAINED AFTER WASHING AND MELTING. THE ARTICLE MAINLY CONCERNS THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF A NOVEL TYPE OF VACUUM FREEZE EVAPORATOR, AND THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS.
