Research on wave-powered seawater desalination applications

The paper briefly introduces the makeup and working principle of the wave-powered seawater desalination system of the wave-powered station built in Shanwei city,Guangdong province during the tenth five-year plan of China.To validate the practicability and reliability of the wave-powered seawater desalination device,we carried out experiments on Shanwei wave-powered seawater desalination device in various operating pressure on the basis of the present domestic and overseas study status of wave-powered seawater desalination.The experiment result indicates that the output freshwater flow rate will be increased and the quality of the fresh water will be improved with the increase of the pressure of high-pressure seawater.The whole seawater desalination device has lower energy consumption in fresh water producing.
