Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
producing a low salinity solution and a high salinity solution from an electrochemical regenerator;
directing the low salinity solution to a first reservoir with first contents having a first water vapor pressure, the first reservoir outputting a vapor stream and a residual stream and absorbing a first heat flux;
directing the high salinity solution and the vapor stream to a second reservoir having a second water vapor pressure that is less than the first water vapor pressure, the second reservoir outputting a second heat flux and a recombined solution, the recombined solution comprising contents of the second reservoir and the vapor stream; and
using one or both of the first heat flux and the second heat flux as a respective heat sink and heat source in a heat pump system.
