Abstract

Most of desalination processes require a large amount of energy derived from natural gas and oil, which are non-renewable energy, for supply heat and electric energy. So, this paper depends on solar energy as a source of renewable energy, and can be powered for producing fresh water. The method used to build up the system is solar desalination by humidification dehumidification, the advantages of this system is can be applied on large and small scale, simple design of equipment, and doesn't require high temperature, so many type of solar collector can be used in humidification dehumidification, also hybrid humidification dehumidification with another driving system achieve high productivity with low cost than humidification dehumidification only, from examples of hybrid systems are thermal PV panels, vapor compression refrigeration system and geothermal energy, all of this could be choice for hybridization with humidification dehumidification system.
