  • Freshwater source and desalination system
    Patent number: 10507406
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a humidification-dehumidification desalination system. A humidification subsystem of the humidification-dehumidification desalination system includes a thermal element and a bubble column, in series. The thermal element further comprises a thermal energy storage unit including a phase change material and a thermal conductor. The thermal element can be supplemented by a Fresnel lens canopy. The thermal element and the bubble column of the humidification design are arranged in staircase design such that gravity drives the system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2019
    Assignee: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
    Inventors: Fahad A. Al-Sulaiman, Haris Shahzad, Hafiz Muhammad Abd-Ur-Rehman
