Abstract: A desalination system employs vacuum to evaporate heated water through a separator material. The evaporated water is then passed through a heat exchanger wherein the heat is exchanged with an inflow of water to the system to heat the incoming water and greatly increase the overall system efficiency. The incoming water heated in the heat exchanger may then be passed to a heater to further heat the water before being provided to an evaporator. A vacuum is drawn across a separator material in the evaporator to produce evaporated water vapor that is purified. This water vapor is then provided to the heat exchanger, wherein the water vapor is condensed and the incoming water is heated. An ozone disinfecting system may produce ozone that is mixed with the condensed water to produce a purified and disinfected water that is suitable for consumption.

Abstract: An ionic liquid desiccant system utilizes an ionic liquid desiccant to draw moisture from a working fluid, such as air that flow into an enclosure, such as a home. The desiccant may be mixed with the working fluid or a separator that allows moisture transport therethrough may be configured between the ionic liquid desiccant and the working fluid. The ionic liquid desiccant system may be part of an air conditioning system and may remove the moisture from air that is cooled by flowing over an evaporator or heat exchanger coupled with the evaporator. The ionic liquid desiccant may be pumped from a desiccant chamber to a regenerator chamber to remove absorbed moisture. A dual-purpose chamber may act as a desiccant chamber and as a regenerator chamber. A refrigeration system may have an electrochemical compressor and may utilize metal hydride heat exchangers.

Abstract: An ion exchange membrane is provided which includes an ion exchange polymer that is partially cross-linked. The partially cross-linked ion exchange polymer will be more stable and will not be washed out over time. The ion exchange polymer may be UV or chemically cross-linked, wherein a cross-linking compound is added to the ion exchange polymer either before or after coupling to a support material. A support material may be made of, or be coated with, a cross-linking compound and the support material may initiate cross-linking proximal to the support material. The support material may be made of a material that chemically bonds with the ionomer.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell 10 comprising a membrane electrode assembly having gas pervious anode (120, fig 1) and cathode (122, fig 1) and an electrolytic membrane (124, fig 1) disposed between and in electrical contact with the anode and cathode allowing passage of a working fluid. The cell further comprises a bipolar plate (20, fig 22) coupled to the anode side 24 of the MEA which has a plurality of port openings 49 along the length of the plate for the delivery of a working fluid to the anode. At least a portion of a working fluid is transferred across the membrane electrode assembly. The anode bipolar plate preferably has an aspect ratio of length to width of at least 2 and the openings cover at least 50% of the anode length. The electrochemical cell is preferably configured in an enclosure (71, fig 22) at less than atmospheric pressure. The enclosure is preferably hermetically sealed. The electrochemical cell may be configured in a heat transfer system in which the working fluid comprises a polar solvent such as methanol that acts as a condensable refrigerant and hydrogen which acts as the electrochemically active component.
