Influence of thermodynamic characteristics of a thermoelectric heat pump on the performance and energy consumption of a centrifugal distiller
Keywords:
thermoelectricity, heat pump, distillerAbstract
The paper analyzes the operation of a thermoelectric heat pump in combination with a centrifugal distiller for the regeneration of wastewater from a human life system in the conditions of future long-term space missions. The time dependence of the specific energy consumption of the system at different capacities of the heat pump is shown, the influence of the temperature difference of the heat carriers on the efficiency of the heat pump is analyzed.
