Critical Review of Using Humidified Air for Potable Water Production

Author: P. Hareesh

Abstract: The necessity of this day and age is to solve the problem of water shortage. Although a desalination procedure and other sustainable techniques for solving this challenge are in the works, they are still in the early stages. As a result, using atmospheric dew water as a solution to this problem is an alternative method. Atmospheric dew water offers enormous potential for use in the development of drinkable water. To a significant extent, this source remains unexplored. As a result, the goal of this effort is to extract drinkable water from atmospheric dew water. An experimental setup was created that included a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator to collect water. This water is collected on a daily basis for a 7-month period, and the yield and cleanliness of the water are tested experimentally. The monthly average water yield is estimated on a daily basis, and cost analysis for the generation of every litre of water is done. The results of this investigation indicated that water was generated at a rate of 20 litres per day on average, with an average cost of INR 14.12 /- per litre, which is less than a dollar. This technology has shown to be a consistent and lasting solution to the massive problem of water shortage in humidified geographical places.
