흡착식 담수화 시스템의 성능 특성에 관한 수치적 연구

Abstract

Seawater desalination by an adsorption desalination (AD) system shows merits of its environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient technology. Moreover, using a single low-grade heat input, the AD cycle produces two useful effects, namely the high-grade fresh water and the cooling capacity suitable for air-conditioning. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance characteristics of AD system, theoretical model is developed based on the mass and energy balance equations and adsorbent characteristics. The model developed in this study is validated in comparison with previously published experimental data. The performance of AD system is assessed in terms of performance ratio (PR), specific daily water production (SDWP) and specific cooling capacity (SCP).
