Abstract

Drinking water is hard for people to get sometimes in Libya, during the summer, or in arid regions. The problem of water scarcity is also observed in other places due to lack of rainfall. The paper presents an experimental study of AWG in Libyan climate conditions. A portable AWG (35kg) experimentally investigated in this study, different inlet airflow, humidity, and temperature to get their effects on the amount of water that can be generated by AWG and energy required. The amount of generated water increased with an increase in temperature, humidity, and inlet airflow. The maximum efficiency of AWG was 40.56% at temperature 21.3 °C, humidity 41% airflow rate 294.84 m3/hr, and 1031.52 Watt input power and found that the location of dew point effect of AWG productivity.
