✦ Synopsis

An experimental integrated absorption heat pump euent puri®cation system (IAHPEPS) was built and originally operated with water-lithium bromide as a working mixture. The experimental results of IAHPEPS operated with water-Carrol as a working mixture are presented. Tap water was used as euent and distilled water was obtained after puri®cation. Pure euent production rates ranged between 1.2 and 4 kg h À1 . The actual coecient of performance (COP) A varied from 1.35 to 1.55. The heat pump eectiveness (HPE) varied from 0.74 to 0.82. The results from the small scale system indicate the likely results from industrial scale units which could be operated with low quality heat such as waste heat, solar or geothermal resources.
