Humidificaton-Dehumidification Desalination System - An Overview
Authors(3) :-V. Velmurugan, S.Prem Kumar, S.Ragul This article reports about the recent researches and modifications carried out in the humidification-dehumidification desalination system using renewable energy sources, waste heat recovery and combined desalination systems for improving the fresh water production rate. Major desalination processes consume a large amount of energy derived from oil and natural gas for heat and electricity, while emitting harmful gases. Solar desalination has emerged as a promising renewable energy-powered technology for producing fresh water. Also, recovering waste heat from various heat sources is considered an economical one. Combining the principle of humidification-dehumidification with solar desalination results in an increase in the overall efficiency of the desalination plant. A brief study of the mechanism of various advancement in the humidification-dehumidification desalination system is presented in this report, along with an economical evaluation of the process. Comparison of the efficiencies and costs of currently available various humidification-dehumidification desalination processes presented in this report. The three major components such as humidifier, dehumidifier, and heater of the humidification–dehumidification desalination unit are undergone simulation verification and design optimization.
