Improving the energy efficiency of membrane distillation (MD) is essential for its widespread adoption for renewable energy driven desalination systems. Here, an energy efficiency framework for membrane distillation modules is developed based on heat exchanger theory, and with this an accurate but vastly simplified numerical model for MD efficiency and flux is derived. This heat exchanger analogy...
This work presents numerical modeling results and flux experiments for a novel membrane distillation configuration called conductive gap membrane distillation (CGMD), as well as permeate gap membrane distillation (PGMD). CGMD has a conductive spacer in the gap between the membrane and condensing surface rather than more commonly used insulating materials. Flux measurements with two experimental systems...
