Abstract

Lack of clean water and a lack of functional energy are two major issues that will hinder global development in the future. These issues also have a significant impact on the general social and economic transformation of any nation. Large-scale, technologically complex systems are typical of conventional desalination methods, making them best suited for the world's most energy-rich and developed locations. Traditional desalination plants run on fossil fuels and have brine disposal issues, they also pose a risk to the environment. In this review paper, the work on design of solar energy powered humidification-dehumidification based desalination system creation has been discussed. The design of an affordable and effective solar collector is crucial to the system's operation because these heaters can account for more than 40% of the overall cost of a humidification-dehumidification system.
