▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - System (100) comprises a first saline solution (130) and a second saline solution (140), where the salinity of the second saline solution is different than the salinity of the first saline solution. The heat pump is configured to transfer thermal energy to the first saline solution and/or the second saline solution, and a selectively permeable membrane separated the first saline solution from the second saline solution. The selectively permeable membrane (104) is configured to control the mixing of the first saline solution and the second saline solution. The selectively permeable membrane further configured to capture some salinity-gradient energy as electrical power as the first saline solution and the second saline solution mix. The permeability of the selectively permeable membrane is adjusted by application of a stretching force. USE - System for generating electricity. ADVANTAGE - The system increases the effective co-efficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump, and also uses processor-based regulation system to modulate the transfer of thermal energy away from these spaces to regulate the temperature.
