Evaluation of a Multiple-Effect Distillation Unit under Partial Load Operating Conditions
Figure 6
Representative time record of sensor outputs collected from the single-effect MED. The abscissa represents time in seconds. The top panel shows the flowrate of the seawater, steam and brine (in Lpm). The middle panel shows the liquid level inside the effect (in cm). The bottom panel shows the temperature of the seawater (), steam inlet () and outlet (), and brine () in degrees C. Note that and are almost identical.
