Simulation of Solar Desalination System Operating at Reduced Pressure

Simulation of Hdh Desalination System Using Tilted, Two-pass Solar Air Heater

The present work represents a theoretical investigation of the performance of a solar air-heated desalination system using humidification-dehumidification (HDH) technique based on closed-water, open-air cycle under the geographical conditions of Dhahran (26.5°N, 50.2°E), Saudi Arabia. The HDH desalination system is suitable for small-scale decentralized fresh water production. It essentially co...

Variable Pressure Humidification Dehumidification Desalination System

Nature uses air as a carrier gas to desalinate seawater through evaporation and rain. Several investigators have previously studied desalination cycles based on carrier gas processes. However, single pressure carrier gas cycles suffer from low energy recovery and hence low performance. Here we discuss a novel carrier gas cycle which operates under varied pressure. This cycle operates the evapor...

Solar Power Technologies for Desalination

Throughout the world, there are regions of vast extent that have many favorable features, but whose development is principally limited by the lack of fresh water. In arid areas where large-scale development has already occurred, e.g. parts of the Middle East and North Africa, the extraction of fresh water via desalination plants requires very large energy consumption. This motivates the develop...
