Description
The objectives of this study, in generally, to produce pottery tubes manufactured from local materials, Manufacturing device for the water desalination and the production of water.The use of river water of the dijla, kraat-Baghdadin water production.In this study presented the performance of Water Desalination Humidification-Dehumidification Systems by the use of a different number of tubes, arranged,different water flow rate and different air velocityto obtain a higher amount of water produced. Experimental results show that the amount of water produced in dehumidification unit is30 ml/2 hours for fivepottery staggered tubes arrangement by tworows,20 ml/2 hours for sexpottery inline tubes arrangement by two rows,55 ml/2 hours for sevenpottery staggered tubes arrangement by three rows, 55 ml/2 hours for eightpottery staggered tubes arrangement by three rowsand60 ml/2 hours forten hollow ceramic pipes staggered tubes arrangement by four rowsat 100 ml/min water flow rate and 199 l/s air flow rate.The percentage increase in water production are 166.6%, 230%, 163.6%,169%, and 165% atfive pottery tubes, sexpottery tubes,sevenpottery tubes,eightpottery tubes and tenpottery tubesat 500 ml/min water flow rate and 199 l/s air flow rate. Finally, increasing the number of tubes increases production.Arrangementpottery tubes by method staggered tubes the best from inline tubes.
