Abstract
Multiple-effect desalination systems are attractive water desalination units for large capacity production since the brine temperature does not exceed 65 °C and there is less power consumption compared to other thermal desalination systems. The system is modeled for performance prediction as well as for the assessment of design aspects such as the total heat transfer area in the effects, the preheaters and the system down condenser. Then, the system degradation with time due to fouling is considered for both rating and design aspects. It is therefore believed that the results presented can provide guidelines for designers and engineers using multiple-effect desalination systems for specifying system sizes and/or scheduling maintenance of the existing systems.
