The Binary Fluid Ejector- a novel thermal-driven heat pump for low-energy distillation

There are two common technologies that use thermal energy directly to produce cooling – absorption

chillers and steam ejectors. Both are old technologies that suffer from serious limitations. MRT is

developing a novel Binary Fluid Ejector that can overcome the limitations of prior art to produce a heat

pump that can economically harness renewable thermal energy, including waste heat, to do useful

work such as air conditioning, process chilling, or distillation/desalination. MRT constructs & tests a

demonstration distillation system of a type applicable for treatment of waste and process effected water

currently generated by Oil Sands Mining and SAGD operations. The specific research to be performed

by the Candidate is to conduct modeling work necessary to design and optimize the precursor ejector

prototypes required for concept validation prior to comprehensive design and construction of the

demonstration system
