The primary objective of this research and development, prototype construction and the resultant patent application was to identify and develop a more energy efficient water desalination method, with very low capital and maintenance cost. The project investigated a novel mechanical vapor recompression system that recompresses the vapor with concurrent heat transfer back to the evaporation chamber thereby allowing the compression process to proceed along the saturated water line. In the proposed system, the evaporation and condensation chambers are thermally coupled. The saturated water vapor is collected from the evaporation chamber and brought to the condensation chamber where it is compressed very nearly isothermally against a heat transfer plate which results in a slight pressure increase. In turn, the condensation temperature increases slightly, causing the vapor to condense against the heat transfer plate thereby returning its latent heat of vaporization to the evaporation chamber. When the compression rate is slow relative to the heat transfer capacity, the compression process follows the saturated vapor line which results in a much lower enthalpy increase than adiabatic compressors.
