Desalination of seawater using solar, ambient energy and waste heat from air conditioning system

Desalination is considered one of the most suitable areas for the utilization of solar energy, as there are many places in the world where abundant supply of solar energy is available and also there is a great demand for fresh water. An integrated solar heat pump desalination system has been deve...
