Desalination with a solar-assisted heat pump, an economic optimization

The Solar Assisted Heat Pump (SAHP) desalination, based on the Rankin cycle operates in low temperature and utilizes both solar and ambient energy. An experimental SAHP desalination system has been constructed at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The system consisted of two main secti...
