COMBINATIONAL-CYCLE SOLAR THERMAL STATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POWER AND DRINKING WATER BY EXPLOITATION OF HEAT DERIVED FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING ARRANGEMNTS OF BUILDINGS

摘要

n energy-efficient electro-mechanical installation converting solar energy into electric via turbine and into heat for desalination purposes is disclosed herein. Furthermore, for the production of drinking water there is exploited the heat releasedin the environment by air-conditioning arrangements so far employed in the building domain. The first objective of the present invention is to offer a system capable of resolving, in an economical and efficient manner, power and drinking water sufficiency problems particularly appearing in Greek islands, by using the high solar dynamics of the country. The second objective of the present invention concerns the economical exploitation of the heat released in the environment by air-conditioning devices largely utilized in buildings and the exploitation of same heat for the production of drinking water (desalination). The present invention significantly contributes to the saving and rational use of energy with positive consequences to the economy of the country, the tourism and the development of the islands, in particular.
