College of
Engineering, University of Diyala discussed a master dissertation on the
experimental evaluation of dehumidification from the air by adsorption
materials using solar energy by the postgraduate student, Mrs. Amna Samir
Ibrahim.
The dissertation aimed at using adsorption
materials to reduce the load on air conditioners through moisture adsorption
and verifying the ability of adsorption materials such as blue silica gel and
sawdust to remove moisture and use them as a remover for water vapor resulting
from human breathing and perspiration.
The dissertation reviewed the design of a
dehumidification system that contains two parts, the first is responsible for
absorbing moisture using adsorption materials, and the second is exposed to
sunlight to dry these adsorbents for reuse again.
The dissertation highlighted that the relative
humidity when using blue silica gel was 44%, 31%, 36%, 25% and 28% in April,
May, June, July and August, respectively, while the relative humidity when
using sawdust was 52% in April and May, June, 47% in July and 39% in August.
