520 | |a The water harvesting potential of atmospheric water generators (AWGs) in high-altitude semiarid regions can be diminutive relative to the water generation capacity. Operational parameters for the dehumidification process can be augmented to increase atmospheric water in the defined zone available for harvesting. In this paper, the feasibility of augmenting the microclimates of AWGs at the point of air extraction through an evaporative cooling system (ECS) was investigated. Water yield and capacity utilisation were measured from two AWGs piloted on a plant in Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa. This was implemented between December 2019 and May 2021. The study revealed that although the ECS did impact the operating parameters through decreasing temperature and increasing relative humidity (<i<p</i< < 0.05), variance in water yield was not significant (<i<p</i< < 0.05). Capacity utilisation of the AWGs remained below 50% after augmentation. Cooling efficiency of the ECS ranged between 1.4–74.5%. Energy expenditures of 0.926 kWh/L and 0.576 kWh/L for AWGs 1 and 2 were required under pristine conditions, respectively. Under the modified conditions, energy expenditure decreased to 0.855 kWh/L for AWG 1, but increased/L to 0.676 kWh for AWG 2. ECS is deduced to not be a feasible intervention for augmenting water harvesting potential for AWGs in this semiarid zone. | ||

Feasibility Study of Atmospheric Water Harvesting Augmented through Evaporative Cooling |
abstract |
The water harvesting potential of atmospheric water generators (AWGs) in high-altitude semiarid regions can be diminutive relative to the water generation capacity. Operational parameters for the dehumidification process can be augmented to increase atmospheric water in the defined zone available for harvesting. In this paper, the feasibility of augmenting the microclimates of AWGs at the point of air extraction through an evaporative cooling system (ECS) was investigated. Water yield and capacity utilisation were measured from two AWGs piloted on a plant in Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa. This was implemented between December 2019 and May 2021. The study revealed that although the ECS did impact the operating parameters through decreasing temperature and increasing relative humidity (<i<p</i< < 0.05), variance in water yield was not significant (<i<p</i< < 0.05). Capacity utilisation of the AWGs remained below 50% after augmentation. Cooling efficiency of the ECS ranged between 1.4–74.5%. Energy expenditures of 0.926 kWh/L and 0.576 kWh/L for AWGs 1 and 2 were required under pristine conditions, respectively. Under the modified conditions, energy expenditure decreased to 0.855 kWh/L for AWG 1, but increased/L to 0.676 kWh for AWG 2. ECS is deduced to not be a feasible intervention for augmenting water harvesting potential for AWGs in this semiarid zone. |

Operational parameters for the dehumidification process can be augmented to increase atmospheric water in the defined zone available for harvesting. In this paper, the feasibility of augmenting the microclimates of AWGs at the point of air extraction through an evaporative cooling system (ECS) was investigated. Water yield and capacity utilisation were measured from two AWGs piloted on a plant in Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa. This was implemented between December 2019 and May 2021. The study revealed that although the ECS did impact the operating parameters through decreasing temperature and increasing relative humidity (<i<p</i< < 0.05), variance in water yield was not significant (<i<p</i< < 0.05). Capacity utilisation of the AWGs remained below 50% after augmentation. Cooling efficiency of the ECS ranged between 1.4–74.5%. Energy expenditures of 0.926 kWh/L and 0.576 kWh/L for AWGs 1 and 2 were required under pristine conditions, respectively. Under the modified conditions, energy expenditure decreased to 0.855 kWh/L for AWG 1, but increased/L to 0.676 kWh for AWG 2. ECS is deduced to not be a feasible intervention for augmenting water harvesting potential for AWGs in this semiarid zone.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">atmospheric water generators</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">atmospheric water harvesting</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">capacity utilisation</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">evaporative cooling system</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">water yield</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">energy consumption</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Hydraulic engineering</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Water supply for domestic and industrial purposes</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Brian Gidudu</subfield><subfield code="e">verfasserin</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Evans M.
