Publisher's Synopsis
Advances in Sustainable Humidification-Dehumidification Thermal Desalination Systems presents the newest developments in humidification-dehumidification (HDH) systems and their applications for reducing energy usage in thermal desalination. This book is split into three parts, firstly outlining the principles, analysis, and optimization of HDH technology, its impact across the economy and environment, and the multi-stage approach for maximizing energy efficiency. This is followed by practical guides on implementing sustainable HDH systems within a variety of scenarios, from hybrid systems to refrigeration. Finally, the book provides a complete case study on materials and materials selection for the ideal HDH system across a wide range of applications. Showing how the major advances in this technology impact the energy requirements of fresh-water production, this book takes a reader from fundamental principles to sustainable real-world applications of HDH thermal desalination systems.
