Patent attributes
The solar cooling and water desalination system is a roof-mounted system having a refrigeration unit driven by electricity produced by solar panels to chill water, which is stored in a first tank and used to cool living spaces. Seawater is preheated in a first heat exchanger by waste heat from operation of the refrigeration unit, and heated further in a second heat exchanger by hot distilled water. A field of solar collectors heats oil, which is stored in a hot oil tank and then powers a first boiler to produce high pressure and temperature steam for a steam ejector vacuum system connected to a desalination water boiler that desalinates the seawater, which is condensed by a condenser and stored in a distilled water tank, where it is stored at about 80° C.
