- The membrane wetting by amine absorbents results in performance deterioration of membrane gas absorption system for CO(2) post-combustion capture. To solve this problem, in this study, the polypropylene membrane fiber was modified by depositing a rough layer on the surface to improve its hydrophobicity. Weighing the coating homogeneity, hydrophobicity and modification process efficiency, the mixture of cyclohexanone and MEK system was considered as the best non-solvent. The contact angle increased dramatically from 122 to 158 by the modification, thereby obtaining superhydrophobic membrane surface. The membrane-absorbent interaction results demonstrated that the modification treatment effectively enhanced the stability and maintained the superhydrophobicity of fibers contacting with the absorbent. In addition, continuous CO(2) absorption experiments for up to 20 days were carried out in untreated and modified polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactors, using 1 mol L(-1) MEA solution as the absorbent. The long-term system operation results indicated that, even though additional mass transfer resistance was introduced by the surface coating, the modified polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor was still technically feasible for CO(2) capture from the power stations.

- Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are prone to frost when heating in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment, which deteriorates the heating performance of the unit. In this study, a new multi-evaporator mutual defrosting (MEMD) system was proposed to overcome the disadvantages of traditional defrosting methods: intermittent heating and inefficient defrosting. To validate the performance of the proposed defrosting technology, comparative tests were conducted in various outdoor environmental conditions. The experimental results showed that the MEMD system could continuously heat water during the defrosting period. In five experimental conditions, the MEMD system exhibited a lower water temperature drop range (2.1–2.8 °C) than that of a traditional reverse-cycle defrosting (RCD) system (6.0–7.3 °C). Due to the effective utilization of heat production during the heating period, the effective heat power (qe) of the unit increased by 0.7–1.4 kW, and the heat loss coefficient (HLC) of frosting and defrosting increased by an average of 6 % in the five experimental conditions, effectively reducing the heating capacity loss of the unit caused by defrosting. While defrosting, the MEMD system was able to utilize the remaining evaporators to absorb heat from the air and then deliver it to the defrosting evaporator. The equivalent defrosting energy efficiency (COPd) of the MEMD system was 17.5 % greater than that of the RCD system on average. During the heating and defrosting cycle, the energy saved when defrosting could increase the cycle coefficient of performance (CCOP) of heating by 3.7 %.
