Desalination and cooling system integrating sweeping gas membrane distillation and ejector cooling cycle

A desalination and cooling system, comprising:

• an ejector cooling cycle (ECC) system comprising;
• a generator configured to generate a primary flow of a refrigerant,
• an evaporator configured to provide cooling and provide a secondary flow of the refrigerant,
• an ejector configured for the primary flow and the secondary flow to pass through to obtain a super-heated stream of the refrigerant, and
• a first condenser configured to cool the super-heated stream of the refrigerant, the first condenser comprising a wall separating a hot medium compartment and a cold medium compartment, the hot medium compartment configured to receive the super-heated stream of the refrigerant;
• and
• a sweeping gas membrane distillation (SGMD) system comprising;
• a sweeping gas chamber configured to allow a sweeping gas to pass through,
• the cold medium compartment of the first condenser of the ECC system configured to receive a feed stream comprising water,
• a membrane disposed between the cold medium compartment and the sweeping gas chamber, and
• a second condenser,
• wherein the membrane comprises a plurality of pores configured to allow water vapors originating from the feed stream to pass from the cold medium compartment through the membrane to the sweeping gas chamber so that the sweeping gas carries the water vapors to the second condenser to be condensed therein,
• wherein the ECC system and the SGMD system are connected at the first condenser so that the feed stream, in the cold medium compartment of the first condenser, is heated by the super-heated stream of the refrigerant to generate the water vapors.
