Abstract
An experimental study of a hybrid desalination system using Humidification–Dehumidification (HDH) process integrated with RO unit, evacuated tube solar water heater (SWH) and solar air heater (SAH). The results showed that the productivity of the unit strongly depends on the temperature of water at the humidifier inlet and RO unit inlet. The results show that maximum productivity of (14.25 L/hr.) is obtained when cold water flowrate is double that of hot water, inlet water mass flow rate to the humidifier (2 kg/min), Using SAH with (5 m/s) humidifier inlet air velocity, and 95 ℃ at humidifier inlet. The productivity obtained from the HDH system while operating a full day is 56.6 L/day and daily productivity obtained from the RO unit of 416 L/ workday was obtained at average 40 ℃ RO unit Feed Water. The hybrid system provides 472 L/day as a Sumption of Condensate water and Ro unit productivity.
