Solar energy is directly transferred from the solar collector field via the evaporator heat exchanger to MED-PF. In the second technique, the thermal energy produced is transmitted to the steam ejector of the MED-PF-TVC. The comparisons are handled according to 5000 m3/day of distilled product as a case study. A reduction in consumption and specific energy costs is possible due to the reduction in the value of the compression ratio and the increase in the number of evaporators. %G English %2 https://ensta-bretagne.hal.science/hal-02995513/document %2 https://ensta-bretagne.hal.science/hal-02995513/file/Aroussy2020.pdf %L hal-02995513 %U https://ensta-bretagne.hal.science/hal-02995513 %~ UNIV-BREST %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-UBS %~ UBS %~ ENIB %~ IRDL %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-MECA %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-PTR1-IRDL
