A new concept of an Eco-friendly desalination method is introduced in this study. The main idea of the desalination method of seawater is the condensation of the vaporized seawater by solar heat energy on the surface of seashore. The wind turbine blade plays a role of heat exchanger condensing the vaporized water in the air. Fig. 1 show the details of the operating concept of the Eco-friendly desalination system with the wind power generation turbine.
In this analytical study, the vaporized water in air was arranged and the parametric study was studied. First, an analytical estimate the amount of freshwater produced from the system with the change of the temperature difference between the humid air and turbine blade, and the relative humidity in air, and wind speed.
From the analytical calculation, 44,229(ton/year) of freshwater was produced at the vertical-type wind turbine(Diameter = 4m, Height = 3m) as the relative humidity is 80%, the temperature difference between the impeller blade and the humid air is 35℃ and the wind speed is 10m/s.
