[0042] The semi-permeable filter membrane 4 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-permeable filter membrane, which has strong hydrophobicity, ensuring that water vapor can pass through without obstruction while seawater cannot pass through.
[0043] The embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0044] The relationship between the desalination water output of the system and the temperature change of the seawater inlet side is explored when the salt water pool contains pure water, 1%, 3.5%, and 6% sodium chloride solution respectively:
[0045] Step 1: Install a 12cm×6cm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-permeable filter membrane 4 between the membrane fixtures 14 and 13 on the left and right sides of the membrane distillation unit III, fill the salt water pool 17 with 3.5% sodium chloride solution to ensure that the heat-conducting copper tube 19 is submerged, and inject a certain amount of pure water into the fresh water pool 10;
[0046] Step 2: After setting the predetermined speed, turn on the seawater peristaltic pump 22 of the seawater circulation unit I and the freshwater peristaltic pump 8 of the freshwater circulation collection unit IV, so that the flow rate of the seawater end flow sensor 1 and the freshwater end flow sensor 7 are both maintained at 600 mL / min, and after waiting for the seawater circulation and the freshwater circulation to run stably, turn on the adjustable power supply 20 connected to the central processing unit 21, the CPU central processing unit 21 continuously generates heat by itself, and the heat-conducting block 24 on the surface conducts the heat to the cooling tower 25, turn on the centrifugal pump 26 of the heat collection unit II, and the cooling tower 25 uses the conducted heat to heat the internal circulating coolant. In particular, the pipes immersed in the seawater pool are made of copper, and the aqueous solution in the salt water pool 17 flows and takes away the heat of the coolant in the heat-conducting copper pipe 19, thereby increasing the temperature of the seawater. Initially, the fresh water inlet temperature of the membrane distillation unit is maintained at 15°C;
[0047] Step 3: After the temperature sensor values 2, 6, 11, and 16 are stabilized at the specified values, the current temperature values of the seawater end and the freshwater end are recorded according to the readings of the temperature sensors at the seawater end and the freshwater end, and the temperature difference between the saltwater end and the freshwater end is calculated;
[0048] Step 4: After a period of time, according to the reading of the fresh water electronic scale 9 below the fresh water pool, record the mass of fresh water added in the fresh water pool 10 during the same period of time, and calculate the rate of increase of fresh water;
[0049] Step 5: Keep the speed of the centrifugal pump 26 of the heat collection unit II unchanged. Change the power of the adjustable power supply 20, that is, change the heating power of the central processor 21, so that the reading of the seawater inlet temperature sensor 2 increases by 5°C each time, which are 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, and 60°C respectively.
[0050] Next, repeat step 3 without repeatedly starting the centrifugal pump 26;
[0051] Step 6: According to the seawater inlet temperature sensor 2 and the area of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) semi-permeable filter membrane 4, the water production per unit time per unit membrane area, i.e., the water flux, is calculated, and by comparing the water production rates at different temperature differences at both ends of the membrane, the relationship between the seawater desalination water production of the system and the change in the seawater inlet temperature is obtained;
[0052] Step 7: After adding pure water, 1% and 6% sodium chloride solutions into the seawater pool, repeat steps 2 to 6.
[0053] Through experiments, we measured multiple sets of data on the water flux of the membrane distillation unit under different temperature differences at both ends of the membrane when the seawater pool contained pure water, 1%, 3.5%, and 6% sodium chloride solution, respectively. In order to compare the fresh water yield of water molecules passing through the membrane under different temperature differences and flow rates of seawater and fresh water at both ends of the membrane, we defined the water flux j v (kg / m 2 h) The calculation formula is:
[0054]
[0055] Among them, M (kg) is the mass of fresh water produced during the experiment, S (m 2 ) is the membrane area, and the size of the polytetrafluoroethylene semipermeable filter membrane used in the experiment is 12 cm × 6 cm, and Δt (h) is the running time.
[0056] By fitting the experimental results, we get Figure 2 The linear results shown in the figure show that when the fresh water inlet temperature is kept at 15°C, only the seawater inlet temperature is changed, and the 3.5% concentration is closest to the actual seawater concentration. The fresh water production rate increases significantly with increasing temperature, and as the solution concentration increases, the osmotic pressure increases, resulting in a decrease in water production rate and water flux.
[0057] By comparing and analyzing other methods of recycling the waste heat from the CPU of the supercomputing center, it was found that a small number of methods of recycling the waste heat from the CPU of the supercomputing center and using it for centralized heating have low utilization efficiency and poor economic benefits. In comparison, utilizing the waste heat from the CPU of the supercomputing center for membrane distillation seawater desalination not only meets the temperature requirements of the hot end of membrane distillation seawater desalination, but also conforms to the actual situation of local water shortage, can effectively alleviate the shortage of local industrial water, and has high utilization efficiency and economic benefits.
[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
