Design of a Continuous Solar Desalination System with Humidification-Dehumidification Cycle

Article Preview

Abstract:

A continuous solar desalination system with humidification-dehumidification cycle was devised. Solar energy was chosen as the main heat source, the electric heater the auxiliary heat source, and the hot water reservoir the energy storage unit. To ensure the 24-hour continuous production of fresh water, four specific operation modes were designed and analyzed for the conditions of average, excess, insufficient and no illumination intensity respectively, based on which the methods for the judgment and calculation of process parameters were derived.
