A direct-contact, spray-assisted, evaporation and condensation, DCSEC system includes a heating block configured to receive and heat up seawater; plural evaporation and condensation stages, wherein n is a natural number, each stage being configured to generate water vapors through flash evaporation; an evaporation only stage connected to a last stage of the plural evaporation and condensation stages, the evaporation only stage configured to receive a brine from the last stage n of the plural evaporation and condensation stages; an input/output block configured to receive the brine from the evaporation only stage and to discharge it outside the system, and also to receive cooling water; and a pressure-swing regeneration block fluidly connected to the evaporation only stage to receive the water vapors and to generate a hot vapor, which is provided to the heating block for heating the seawater.

Tubeless, multi-effect distillation system and method

A cooling system for cooling an enclosure, the cooling system including a heat exchange section configured to transfer sensible heat; a humidifier located outside the heat exchange section and configured to humidify a working air stream C so that it transfers latent heat; an air moving system configured to move various air streams through the cooling system; and a piping system configured to connect the heat exchange section to the humidifier and the air moving system. The sensible heat transfer is decoupled from the latent heat transfer.

Combined direct and indirect evaporative cooling system and method

A concentrating solar power plant includes a solar light capturing part configured to capture solar light; and a heat exchange part configured to transform solar energy, from the captured solar light, into heat, which is stored in a solid medium, wherein the solid medium is stored underground. The solar light capturing part has a heliostat farm, a beam down solar concentrator, and a compound concentrator, each configured to reflect the solar light.

Solar-powered, temperature cascading system for electricity generation

A cyclone-assisted distillation system including an energy supply system configured to generate water vapor; a cyclone-generating device configured to generate a vortex with the water vapor received from the energy supply system, the vortex generating a water vapor jet; and a distillation system configured to generate distillated water from saltwater, based on a steam jet obtained from (1) the water vapor of the energy supply system and (2) the water vapor jet from the cyclone-generating device.
