Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
an electrochemical regenerator configured to receive a first solution having a first salt concentration and to output a second solution having a second salt concentration lower than the first salt concentration and a third solution having a third salt concentration higher than the first salt concentration;
a first reservoir with first contents having a first water vapor pressure and configured to receive the second solution and output a vapor stream and a residual stream, the first reservoir absorbing a first heat flux;
a second reservoir with second contents having a second water vapor pressure that is less than the first water vapor pressure and coupled to the first reservoir, wherein the second reservoir is configured to receive the third solution and the vapor stream from the first reservoir to generate a second heat flux that is output from the second reservoir, a recombined solution comprising contents of the second reservoir and the residual stream being recirculated to the electrochemical regenerator; and
a secondary heat pump with a working fluid that is cooled by the first heat flux.
