Abstract:
1. A method of utilizing waste energy from a fluid purification system, the method comprising: compressing air using at least one compressor to obtain a compressed hot air, wherein a heat energy associated with the compressed hot air is greater than a heat energy associated with the air; purifying at least one fluid using the compressed hot air in at least one fluid purification unit including: placing the at least one fluid in a first thermal communication with the compressed hot air; allowing a transfer of heat from the compressed hot air to the at least one fluid to raise a temperature of the at least one fluid to a purification temperature or to a boiling temperature for a distillation; releasing a compressed cooled air from the first thermal communication; storing at least one hot purified fluid from the fluid purification unit in at least one fluid storage tank; placing the compressed cooled air in a second thermal communication with the at least one fluid storage tank to reheat the compressed cooled air to obtain a heated compressed air; and operating at least one turbine to generate electricity using the reheated compressed air; obtaining an expanded cooled air from the turbine; and directing the expanded cooled air to air cool a room.
