Summary

A new compact heat pump-assisted purification system was fabricated which involved the elimination of two heat exchangers and a reduction in the amount of tubing; this resulted in higher efficiencies due to lower temperature differences in the heat exchangers. The quality of the distilled water obtained from the geothermal brine was similar to commercially available distilled water with respect to chlorides and silica. A COP of 4.5 was achieved with a brine boiling temperature of 63 deg C. Higher COPs could be achieved with a higher compressor efficiency.
