감압증발장치는 압력을 감소시켜 물의 끓는점을 낮춰주는 원리를 이용한 것으로 온도를 높이는데 필요한 에너지 소모량을 줄일 수 있는 원리로 사용되고 있다. 즉, 온도와 압력의 상관관계 원리를 이용한 것이다. 감압증발장치를 이용하여 해수의 온도별 포화증기압을 적용하여 증발량 실험을 한 결과 $80^{\circ}C$, -40 cmHg의 경우가 가장 많은 증발량을 나타내었으며, 해수의 농도에 따른 인자 실험의 결과에서는 농도가 짙을수록 증발량이 많이 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 압력에 따른 인자 실험의 결과 낮은 압력에서 증발량이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 증발량의 중요인자는 농도가 큰 부분으로 작용하였으며 다음 요인은 온도로 나타났으며 마지막 요인으로 압력을 들 수 있었다. 본 실험을 통하여 감압증발장치를 이용한 담수화 조건을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 태양열에 의해 증발된 해수면에서의 수증기를 응축의 원리를 이용하여 담수의 생산이 가능한 친환경 담수장치(Eco-friendly Desalination System)를 고안하고, 가능성을 판단하는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 응축 열전달 공식을 이용하여 습공기의 물성변화에 따른 연간 응축수 생산량을 예측하였으며, 항온항습챔버의 실험을 통해 실제 습공기조건 변화에 따른 응축량을 측정하였다. 습공기의 이론 응축률과 실험을 통해 측정한 실제 응축률의 오차율을 산출하였으며, 오차의 원인을 분석하고 응축률 보정계수인 응축계수와 점성계수를 구하여 보정된 이론 응축률 공식에 도출하였다. 보정된 응축률 식을 이용하여 설계된 규모의 풍력터빈연간 생산 가능한 담수량을 산출한 결과 최대 연간 약 2,927톤 정도의 담수를 생산할 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

소형디젤 발전기의 배기가스는 양적 및 질적 수준에서 유용하게 활용되기에는 부족한 폐열원으로 간주된다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 이러한 배기가스의 폐열을 히트파이프에 의해 회수하고 다중효용확산 증발에 의해 효율적으로 열을 이용하는 해수담수기를 제안하였다. 제안한 증류기는 $171^{\circ}C$의 배기가스에서 52 W 의 폐열을 회수할 수 있고, 이 회수 열량 중 약 85%가 약 70 g/h의 담수를 생산할 수 있는 유용한 열량으로 사용된다. 이 결과는 50cc, 4 행정 엔진을 가진 극소형 발전기의 폐열에 대하여 단효용 장치의 실험값이므로, 10 중효용으로 구성할 경우 약 500 g/h 의 성능을 가질 수 있는 것으로 계산되었다. 따라서 본 증류기는 전기와 담수가 동시에 부족한 지역에서 실제 필요한 식수량을 확보할 수 있는 소용량 담수화장치로 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

The most important factor for the desalination system is the fresh water production cost dependent upon the possible energy source which should be obtained easily and with low price. Recently in Korea the demand of LNG, as a cheap and clean energy which does not cause an environmental problem, has sharply been increased. In general, LNG is storaged in a tank as a liquid state below -162 'C. When it is serviced, however, the LNG absorbs energy from a heating source and transforms to the gaseous state with high pressure. During this process a huge amount of cold energy accumulated in LNG is wasted. This waste cold energy can be utilized for producing fresh water from sea water using a sea water freezing desalination system. In order to develop a sea water freezing desalination system and to establish its design technique, a qualitative and quantitative data regarding the freezing behavior of sea water is needed in advance. The goal of this study, therefore, are to reveal the freezing mechanism of sea water, to measure the freezing rate, and to investigate the freezing heat-transfer characteristics. The experimental results help to provide a general understanding of the sea water freezing behavior in a Rectangular vessel cooled from below.

As sea water is being used as only heat source of LNG open rack vaporizer, serious problem has been risen in LNG terminal by the lack of heating energy source for LNG vaporization due to the temperature drop of sea water in winter. In this paper the new double-tube triple-flow(TRIDEX) vaporizer was suggested to solve the problem and the system was thermally analysed. LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) and sea water were introduced as the heat sources for LNG TRIDEX vaporizer. The flow patterns of TRIDEX vaporizer are as follows: LNG flow in the annular space, PG(petroleum gas) flow in the inner tube, and sea water flow in the outside of the double pipe. The overall LNG vaporization system was consisted of TRIDEX vaporizer, LPG vaporizer and PG heater. LPG in TRIDEX was directly dispersed in the sea water desalination unit, so that LPG turns to be gas phase for the reuse in TRIDEX vaporizer. New TRIDEX vaporizer system for LNG evaporation was analysed as much more effective than the present single tube one in the case of colder temperature of sea water in winter.

This paper presents an energy saving hydrostatic pressure exchanger for sea water desalination equipment. In a reverse osmosis(RO) system for desalinating sea water, more than 70 percent of the supplied sea water, brines which were impassable through RO membrane are bypassed, resulting in high energy losses. In this paper, a hydrostatic pressure exchanger consisting of an embedded water hydraulic piston motor and a water hydraulic piston pump was proposed and investigated in order to recover the energy of the bypassed brines. The pressurized brines are supplied to the embedded water hydraulic piston motor as power sources and the water hydraulic piston pump is driven by the output torque of the embedded water hydraulic piston motor as well as electric motor. Consequently, the energy of the bypassed brines can be recovered. To examine the electric energy saving characteristics of the hydrostatic pressure exchanger, a simulation model was constructed using commercial software and experiments were conducted. Through the results of simulation and experiment, the feasibility of the electric energy saving effect of the proposed hydrostatic pressure exchanger was investigated.

Currently as due to the rapid development of industry and increase in population we meet serious problems concerning the shortage and pollution of water. In the country many experts predict a shortage of water approaching 450 million tons by the year 2006. To cope with this serious problem it is necessary to construct desalination plants. In the adoption of a desalination system the most important factor is the cost of fresh water production,. In general LNG is stored in a tank as a liquid state below $-162^{\circ}C$. When it is serviced, however the LNG absorbs energy from a heat source and transforms to a high pressure gaseous state. During this process a huge amount of cold energy accumulated in cooling LNG is wasted. This wasted cold energy can be utilized to produce fresh water by using a sea water freezing desalination system. In order to develop a sea water freezing desalination system and to establish its design technique qualitative and quantitative data regarding the freezing behavior of sea water is required in advance, The goals of this study are to reveal the freezing behavior of sea water is required in advance. The goals of this study are to reveal the freezing mechanisms of sea water to measure the freezing rate and to investigate the freezing heat-transfer characteristics,. The experimental results will provide a general understanding of sea water freezing behavior in a rectangular vessel cooled from above.

The pressurized light water cooled, medium power (330 MWt) SMART (System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor) has been under development at KAERI for a dual purpose : seawater desalination and electricity generation. The SMART design verification phase was followed to conduct various separate effects tests and comprehensive integral effect tests. The high temperature / high pressure thermal-hydraulic test facility, VISTA(Experimental Verification by Integral Simulation of Transient and Accidents) has been constructed to simulate the SMART-P (the one fifth scaled pilot plant) by KAERI. Experimental tests have been performed to investigate the thermal-hydraulic dynamic characteristics of the primary and the secondary systems. Heat transfer characteristics and natural circulation performance of the PRHRS (Passive Residual Heat Removal System) of SMART-P were also investigated using the VISTA facility. The coolant flows steadily in the natural circulation loop which is composed of the steam generator (SG) primary side, the secondary system, and the PRHRS. The heat transfers through the PRHRS heat exchanger and ECT are sufficient enough to enable the natural circulation of the coolant.

In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube (throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. The multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Condition of the simulation was varied in entrance mass flow rate (1kg/s, 1.5kg/s, 2kg/s, 2.5kg/s, 3kg/s), and position of driving nozzle was located from the central axis of the suction at -10mm, 0mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm.. Asaresult, suction flow velocity has the highest value in central axis of the suction.
