Field solution to produce irrigation-drinking water by condensation irrigation system from seawater
Condensation irrigation (CI) combines desalination with subsurface irrigation. Here, solar stills are used to heat and humidity air, which is condensed in underground drainage pipes to irrigate the soil, directly in the root zone. This article describes and evaluates a CI field test at Shahid Chamra...

| description | Condensation irrigation (CI) combines desalination with subsurface irrigation. Here, solar stills are used to heat and humidity air, which is condensed in underground drainage pipes to irrigate the soil, directly in the root zone. This article describes and evaluates a CI field test at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in Iran. The objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the CI system in the production of drinking and irrigation water and to do a detailed assessment of heat and moisture transfer in the soil. Perforated and unperforated PVC pipes were used in two separate experiments while airflow properties, soil temperature and humidity, and ambient air temperature were monitored. The system produced 6 kg of irrigation water during 8 hours in the 25 m long pipe. When using an unperforated pipe, 4 kg of freshwater was collected at the pipe ending after 8 hours of operation. The preliminary economic analysis of irrigation system indicates a payback time of less than six years. HIGHLIGHTS
Innovation in solar desalination of seawaters by Condensation Irrigation system in the field.;
Combines desalination and producing drinking-irrigation water in one system.;
Compared to other similar methods, in this system, heat exchanger is the earth.;
Economical method, long life, low maintenance cost, suitable for remote areas.;
Freshwater production efficiency in irrigation is higher than drinking water.; |
