Resumen
In the present work a steady-state model is developed of an MED plant. Its development and validation have been carried out by experimental data obtained from an MED pilot plant located at the Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA), in the southeast of Spain. It is a vertical-arrangement forward-feed MED plant with pre-heaters, which uses hot water as the thermal energy source. In order to run the model a series of parametric equations for these variables: the overall heat transfer coefficient for the first effect (Uh), the overall heat transfer coefficient for the pre-heaters (Up(i)), the vapor temperature inside the first effect, (Tv(1)) and the cooling seawater outlet temperature (Tcwout) have been determined. They have been obtained from a three-level factorial experimental design (3k), performing a total of 81 experiments (34). The results obtained showed a good fit to the estimated models for the response variables.
