| Abstract | ||||
| All of the human actions on earth are influenced by elements such as energy, freshwater, and the environment. Currently, because of the water crisis and the effects of global warming, drinkable water, and environmental impact are the most significant and well-liked study issues. The use of adsorption desalination at various operating temperatures has been studied in the current work using a simulation model. This study also looked at the impact of varying the temperatures of the heat source, evaporator, and condenser. In the current study, a low-grade heat source temperature such as solar energy was used to analyze the performance of a silica gel-water adsorption desalination system using a lumped parameter model. To keep the operating temperature of about 85°C needed to operate the desalination system, the source of heat was already connected to a storage reservoir. Additionally, it has been noted that the adsorption desalination machine produces specific daily water production of about 8 m3/ton silica gel. | ||||
