Background of the innovation
There are several inventions about desalination. All of it focused on getting the heat just from the sun (solar energy). It wouldn’t produce a good quantity of fresh water and not steady supplying of energy because the limited time of the heat source (nights and cloudy days effect).
In my innovation I offer to use the open cycle gas turbine as the source of the heat and submit it to the closed cycle gas/air turbine, which need the heat in one phase of the close cycle (heat exchanger B2, B3).
After the very hot air leave the turbine (B4) it need to cool down before go to the compressor (Bl). That usually done by the draft air in the second heat exchanger.
I offer to use the sea water throw multi heat exchangers (B6, B7, B8) in a way to make desalination for the sea water and cooling down the air of the closed cycle before enter the compressor (B 1).
By this way the cogeneration of open and closed cycle gas turbines can produce electricity together and the closed cycle turbine can produce fresh water from the sea water same time.
I added a way to use the solar heat in cooperation with the heat form the open cycle gas turbine in (B3) of the heat exchangers as a second source of heat which could save some energy for the open cycle gas turbine.
Description of the process.
In the open cycle gas turbine (A) air enter to compressor (Al), than to combustion chamber (A2), than very hot high pressured gases from (A2) hit the turbine (A3), leaving the turbine as very hot exhaust gases.
These gases enter the first heat exchanger (B2) and go throw iron pipes, which divided to 2, 3 or more pipes inside the heat exchanging chamber with insulation around each.
Pipes leave the chamber and back to be one pipe again going to (B3).
The warm compressed air (or nitrogen) coming from (B3) going to chamber (B2) throw cupper tube which divided inside the chamber to coil tubes each inside one of the iron pipes. The coil tubes should be in the middle of the iron pipes with no touch to the pipe wall.
At the end of the pipes the coil tubes back to be connected again form one pipe goes out of B2 and the very hot compressed air goes to the turbine (B4).
The air and the very hot gases going in posit direction to each other. In the chamber (B3) it is similar in design to chamber (B2) except that the air coming from the compressor (B 1) to (B3) and leave to (B2) as a compressed worm or hot air in copper pipes and the partially hot gases coming in the copper coil tubes from (B2) going in the middle of each pipe in the chamber (B3) and leave from the other side to reconnected in one tube going to the exhaust.
Instead of direct insulations to the pipes it’s packed with materials can get very hot by solar heat and transfer it to the tube where the flow at the air. These materials could be (lava stones or coal).
The outside wall of the chamber made of glass on the top and the two sides to attract sun rays in morning time which could be directed in by reflector mirrors. These glasses panels could cover by insulators after sun set till sun rise again. The bottom of the chambers is iron and has stays to supports the pipes and the pipes has supports to support the coil tubes inside as in the drawing (B3).
After the air left the turbine (B4) it goes to multi heat exchanger to cool down which use sea water to absorb the heat from the air (B6, B8) then the cool air goes to the compressor (Bl) to start the cycle again.
The chamber (B6) as in the drawing, has multi sets of coil tubes getting the very hot air from (B4) going throw several coil tubes in the chamber (B6) and leave from there to forming one tube has warm air going to (B8).
A pipe bring the partially warm sea water from (B8) feeding several atomizers on the wall of the chamber(B6) to atomize the water as drops dropping in the chamber on the top of the sets of tubes which have the hot air inside.
Most of the drops evaporate by pulling the heat out from the air in the pipes and evaporate in form of gases going up to the curved dome of the chamber (B6) and guided out throw pipe to outside of the chamber by suction fan to (B7). The rest of the drops fall and gathering in the bottom of (B6) and going throw pipe to rejoin the warm water coming from (B7 and B8) to the atomizers again.
In the chamber (B8) it has sets of coil tubes immersed in the sea water which filled up the chamber (B8) totally and coming to the chamber from the bottom drive from the sea by water pump to the chamber and leave from the top of the chamber after getting warm and extracting the rest of the heat in the air and go to (B6). The air leave the chamber cool going to the compressor (Bl).
In (B7) the hot water vapour in form of gases coming to the chamber from the side wall above the level of the formed fresh water. The hot gases going up throw the sets of pipes hanged up horizontally in the chamber and carried in direct sea water pushed by water pump.
The warm sea water leave the chamber (B7) in one pipe after exchanging the heat and cooling the water vapour during its trip going up make lots of vapour condensed and drop by gravity in the basin bottom of the chamber as fresh water and pulled out.
What left of the vapour going out from the top side of the chamber in a pipe to join the hot water vapour pipe and going again to the chamber to repeat the cycle. Drawing symbols list
