Integration of Multiple Effect Evaporators with Solar Thermal Systems

Integration of Multiple Effect Evaporators with Solar Thermal Systems

Multiple effect evaporators (MEE) are energy intensive equipments and generally thermal energy is supplied to it through combustion of fossil fuels which are polluting as well as non-renewable. This paper deals with integration of solar thermal energy with MEE. A methodology for calculating optimal...

This paper deals with integration of solar thermal energy with MEE. A methodology for calculating optimal operating temperature for the solar system is developed in this paper to minimize the total initial cost of the overall system for a given solar radiation. A parametric study is carried to find the effects of various important parameters on the overall system performance. The proposed methodology is illustrated with the help of a case study with evacuated tube solar collectors.https://www.cetjournal.it/index.php/cet/article/view/4438
