Performance Assessment of Atmospheric Water Generator Integrated with Water Cooler Through Experimental Approach.

Abstract

This research project aims to create a water cooler-AWG as hy-brid product. Water Cooler becomes able to extract water from moist air. Air, the second most abundant source of water, may be distilled. This product is useful when there is enough of moisture but not enough clean drinking water like coastal areas. This work is supported by ex-perimental investigation, CFD analysis and regression analysis but, this article only talks about experimental data. The experimental setup has two VCR cycles. VCR cycles with Water Cooler and AWG condensa-tion. The amount of water collected each day is a critical output pa-rameter for assessing the system. It produces 17 litres/day for the speci-fied value (Ta = 250C V air = 9 m/s and RH = 60%), and 30 litres/day for Ta = 300C V air = 11 m/s and RH = 80%. In Case-I, COP of water cooler enhanced by 26.67%, while in Case-II, it increased by 24.04%. To assure the economic feasibility of the system, in this article the com-puted cost of water generation per unit of water generated by conden-sation is found around 2.04 Rs/litre (0.025 $/litre) for Ta = 300C, Vair = 11 m/s and RH = 80%.Keywords: Innovation Management, Creativity, Organizational Culture, Leadership, Employee Engagement
