Performance study of flat-sheet water membrane evaporators for vacuum evaporative cooling

Key Points

• The flat-sheet water membrane evaporators significantly enhance cooling efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption.
• Cooling capacity observed was up to 30% higher than traditional methods in controlled settings.
• Assessment of thermal performance was conducted through comparative analysis under varying vacuum conditions.
• This study suggests that flat-sheet membranes may present an innovative solution for energy-efficient cooling systems.
