On a novel integration of a multistage absorption heat pump with a balanced humidification-dehumidification desalination unit

This study investigates a novel cooling-desalination system having a single-double-effect absorption heat pump coupled with a humidification-dehumidification desalination unit. A waste-heat source drives the system in addition to natural gas. Using a waste-heat source lowers the cost of the desalina...
