Abstract
The system performance is studied following two scenarios. In Scenario 1 (continuous mode), the system is connected to a seawater network. In Scenario 2 (batch mode), the seawater reservoir is filled up manually every day. The simulation study shows that the increase of the feed water temperature enhances significantly the produced permeate flux but decreases the performance of the heat pump. This system exhibits high exergy efficiency and GOR for a high feed water temperature. Exergy efficiency and gained output ratio (GOR) decrease as the water flow increases and the hot water temperature decreases. Conversely, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator increases.
