ABSTRACT:
A fluid/vacuum chamber (FVC) is disclosed comprising a rigid porous membrane element wherein a vacuum is applied to one side of the porous element and a fluid is passed along the other side of the porous element to remove the heat of vaporization via the pressure differential. This chamber is useful as to reduce energy consumption in a desalination unit, a heat pump, an ice-making system and refrigeration systems. The porous material may be constructed of sintered brass, sintered stainless steel, polymeric plastic, a paper filter element, etc. in order to provide porous openings, of about 5 to about 100 microns. Also disclosed is the use of a fluid/vacuum chamber (FVC) in a heating cycle or cooling cycle. A compressor or vacuum pump normally provides the vacuum suction for the fluid/vacuum chamber (FVC).
