WORKPACKAGE 1 / WP1
creating a database
WP1 includes the collection of data necessary for the study and construction of the greenhouse and solar desalination system. The database mainly relates to three areas:
• Physico-chemical characteristics of water (seawater / brackish) and meteorological data on sunshine in the area where the solar desalination unit will be installed
• Collection of legislative framework for the management of seawater and brackish water
• Licensing procedure for solar desalination plants. The project’s website will also be designed to continuously disseminate the aims and results of the proposed project
deliverables
Database of physicochemical characteristics of water and meteorological data.
Database of the legal framework for the management and treatment of seawater and saltwater and the licensing process for desalination plants and greenhouses.
Project’s website
WORKPACKAGE 2 / WP2
study and design of water distribution and evaporation system and equine management brackish
WP2 includes the study and design of the water dispersion and evaporation system in unit and the management of the ballast. Specifically, it includes the following:
• Exploitation of the EU1 meteorological data base in its thermal balance process through which the process capacity per unit area of the process will be calculated exhaust system.
• Study and optimal design of the water dispersion system. In particular it includes its geometric characteristics, average droplet size and points placement in the desalination plant.
• Study and design of the vacuum system for the suction of vapors generating it dispersion system. In particular, it includes the desired range of operating pressures and points placement in the desalination plant.
• Study and design of a collection and management system.

WORKPACKAGE 3 / WP3
Study and design of the heat exchanger system
WP3 includes the study and design of the heat exchange system to the necessary pre-heating of the seawater and the condensation of the vapors resulting from it is achieved the evaporation process. It will calculate the temperatures of all currents at the inlet and outlet alternators / condensers and the devices will be dimensioned. The results of the EU3 will be outlined analytically in Deliverables.

WORKPACKAGE 4 / WP4
investigation of possible uses of greenhouse construction
WP4 will explore the potential uses of greenhouse space below installed solar desalination plant. For this purpose, the conditions inside will be determined initially (temperature, moisture content, ventilation etc) and then determine the possibilities its exploitation. The cases to be investigated fall into the categories of housing, storage and cultivation activities. The results of the WP4 will be described in detail in Deliverable.
deliverables
Technical exposure of potential uses of the greenhouse.
WORDPACKAGE 5 / WP5
Construction of the prototype of the unit
WP5 will exploit the results of the EU1-4 study sections designing all the individual parts of the proposed project for the construction of the greenhouse type demonstration unit for real-time testing. In particular, EU5 includes the following:
• Authorization / approval of the construction.
• Construction and installation of a demonstration unit in a coastal area of the AUTh, from GEOTHERMIKI.
deliverables
Issuing a license for the construction.
Technical report and construction plans for the production unit.
WORKPACKAGE 6 / WP6
Demonstration function and optimization of the unit
The purpose of EU6 is to monitor the operation of the plant in various meteorological systems conditions and the optimization of the operation of the individual departments on the basis of the results to be achieved arise. In particular EU6 includes the following:
• Determination of recovery rate in seawater irrigation water.
• Determination of the quality of the produced water.
• Monitoring the unit’s energy consumption per m3 of water produced and study the use of photovoltaics.
• Assessment of the operation of materials and equipment and study of the effect of sediments of the salts.
• Suggestions for optimization of technical sections and unit operation.
