Abstract
MVR evaporation is a method of pressurizing the evaporating steam to raise its temperature with an electric compressor instead of burning fuel and reusing the heat source through the embraced heat exchanger to minimize energy use. MVR desalination system with wind power uses varying wind power instead of stable electricity and can flexibly control the volume of fresh water production. The present study introduces the design, construction and operation of a MVR desalination system of 30ton/day capacity. Experimental results, MVR compression ratio is higher than 1.5, temperature difference of the main heat exchanger is $5{\sim}7^{\circ}C$. This value shows the same performance as the designed value.
