Abstract :
The aim of this work is to utilize the heat energy wasted in exhaust gas of an IC engine of low capacity for distillation desalination using a submerged horizontal tube straight pass evaporator and a condensing unit, without aid of any external energy use for pumping system. In this work a Horizontal tube Straight pass evaporator designed fabricated and experiments were conducted. The performance of the SHTE analyzed under various load condition. The work proven that 1.8 liter/hr of saline water can be desalinated from the 5 HP Engine Exhaust gas, without affecting the performance of the engine. By utilizing the heat energy in addition to increase in overall efficiency the thermal Pollution is also reduced considerably.
