Abstract:
A solar-assisted thermal desalination system (2) comprising: a thermal desalination plant (4), a flow controller (40), a solar-assisted heat-exchanger array (6) and at least one solar collector (8). The thermal desalination plant (4) has at least one flow- controllable superheated steam inlet and steam discharge port (14, 16). The solar- assisted heat-exchanger array has at least first, second and third heat exchanger modules (26, 28, 30), operable in isolation of each other. The solar-assisted heat- exchanger array (6) is in communication with the at least one solar collector (8) for supplying heat energy thereto. Such a solar-assisted thermal desalination system (2) is arranged to superheat steam taken from the thermal desalination plant (4) so as to be suitable for reintroduction back into the thermal desalination plant (4) for retreatment.
