Possibilities of a Desalination Plant with a Contact Heat-Exchanger

Resumo

This is article is concerned with finding ways to improve the technical and economic characteristics of desalination plants. The possibility of using a contact heat-exchanger to evaporate part of the saline water flow by means of vapor circulating in the heat-exchange loop is examined. Technical solutions with high economic characteristics of desalination, absence of salt deposits on the working surfaces of the plant, design simplicity, and the possibility of automating dynamic processes and maintaining the operating regime are shown.
