Abstract
Embodiments provide an integrated thermoacoustic freeze desalination system () and process including a thermoacoustic engine (), wherein the thermoacoustic engine () is configured to generate mechanical energy in the form of acoustic waves () using heat supplied from a heat source (); a thermoacoustic refrigerator () acoustically coupled to the thermoacoustic engine (), wherein the thermoacoustic refrigerator () is adapted to use the mechanical energy in the acoustic waves () produced by the thermoacoustic engine () to remove heat from a coolant flowing through said thermoacoustic refrigerator (); and a freeze desalination system () fluidly coupled to the thermoacoustic refrigerator () and the thermoacoustic engine (), wherein the freeze desalination system () is configured to desalinate brine () via a process in which the coolant from the thermoacoustic refrigerator () flows through the freeze-desalination system () and causes at least a portion of the water from the brine () to freeze and separate from the brine.
