Abstract
Drinking water availability is a major trouble in some regions in Libya because of the lack of water sources. The atmospheric water generator (AWG) is one of the alternative techniques for freshwater recuperation from the atmosphere, which condensed the moisture content of water vapor from the air directly. This paper affords an experimental study of AWG in Libyan climate conditions . In this study, a transportable AWG was experimentally studied. The effect of varied humidity, inlet airflow, and temperature, on AWG productivity and the energy required. The amount of generated water increases with the increase in temperature, humidity, and inlet airflow, reaching its peak (16.9 ml/(m3 of air)) at 32.9 °C and 49 % humidity, and it’s lowest value (6.85 ml/(m3 of air)) 29.5°C and 55 % humidity. The maximum production efficiency of AWG was 93.430% at temperature 32.9 °C, humidity 49% , airflow 76.392 m3/hr, and 1048.5 Watt .
