Performance and limitations of atmospheric water generation heat pumps.

Number: O-IT-1023

Author(s) : BAGHERI F., BAHRAMI M.

Summary

In this paper performance and limitations of conventional atmospheric water generator (AWG) systems are experimentally investigated. A new experimental setup and test procedure are developed to measure the water harvesting rate and input electrical power of several residential-size AWGs from different manufacturers. The setup is equipped with an environmental chamber to mimic all climatic conditions in our lab and to obtain performance characteristics of AWG systems. The results show the range of water harvesting rate, energy intensity (1.02 kWh/L for warm and humid to 6.23 kWh/L for cold and humid climates), and limitations of the conventional AWG that can be used as a platform for development of higher efficiency heat pumps for atmospheric water harvesting in future.
