论文简介如下：
Decentralized and small-scale desalination technologies can effectively address the limitations associated with large-scale desalination systems and contribute to solving the issue of fresh water scarcity. However, low energy efficiency remains a primary obstacle in their widespread application. To tackle this challenge, this paper introduces a novel heat pump humidification-dehumidification desalination system. When compared to the conventional system, the novel system exhibits significant improvements. It achieves a maximum fresh water productivity of 39.73 kg/h, representing an increase of 12.83%, and a maximum gain output ratio of 6.52, which is 13.39% higher. The lowest fresh water production cost is 9.52 $/m3, also a reduction of 5.15%. At last, the optimal performances of the novel system are compared with the reported results, which further validates the thermodynamic and economic advantages of the novel system.
