Nowadays, as a result of population growth and groundwater resources pollution, many countries in the world are facing serious water crises. Several alternative solutions have been investigated to overcome this obstacle. Atmospheric water vapor processing (AWVP) is a new solution to generate freshwater from ambient moist air. The atmosphere surrounding the earth is potentially a valuable water resource which contains a large amount of freshwater. This paper addresses the effectiveness of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) for refrigeration to produce freshwater from ambient air. Consequently, both numerical and experimental analysis are then used as the basis of water production calculation. 18...
