Abstract

Millions of air conditioning units consume about 60-64 % of total produced electrical energy in GCC Countries in the summer season. Conditioning the air involves taking the heat out and also extracts moisture (humidity) out of the air. This dehumidification process utilizing the evaporator of air conditioning units could be an alternative and sufficient means to obtain fresh distilled water. There is a strong potential for condensate collection technology to impact water shortages in the regions of the world where suitable conditions exist.This paper presents case study analysis of experimental investigation and practical application of the amount of condensed fresh water can be collected and utilized from the discharge pipe of a two tones of refrigeration indoor air conditioning unit installed in a house during the summer season in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Up to 7 liters/hour of freshwater was obtained with an overall average rate of 2.07 Liters/hour. The study gives a good prediction of the amount of condensed fresh water output for particular indoor relative humidity.

作为空调系统副产品的淡水浪费量:巴林王国的案例研究

海湾合作委员会国家在夏季，数百万台空调消耗了约60- 64%的总发电量。调节空气包括将热量排出和从空气中提取水分(湿度)。这种利用空调机组蒸发器的除湿过程可以是获得新鲜蒸馏水的一种替代和充分的手段。冷凝水收集技术有很大的潜力来影响世界上存在适当条件的地区的水资源短缺。本文介绍了巴林王国某住宅夏季二吨制冷室内空调机排放管冷凝水收集利用的实验研究和实际应用实例分析。最高可获得7升/小时的淡水，总体平均速率为2.07升/小时。该研究可以很好地预测特定室内相对湿度下的冷凝水输出量。
