Below is given a technical description of the system under development: Thermal energy produced by the solar array evaporates the working fluid (HFC-134a) in the evaporator surface. The super-heated vapour is driven to the expanders where the generated mechanical work produced by the Rankine cycle drives the RO unit pumps (high pressure pump, cooling water pump, feed water pump) and circulating pump. The saturated vapour at the expanders’ outlet is directed to the condenser and condensates. On the condenser surface, seawater is pre-heated and directed to the seawater reservoir. Seawater pre-heating is applied to increase the fresh water recovery ratio. The seawater tank is insulated. The use of seawater on the condenser surface decreases the temperature of “Low Temperature Reservoir” of Rankine cycle thus a better cycle efficiency is achiev
