Abstract

Enhancing fog Collector EFFICIENCY can be achieved by increasing the Number of layers in various Collectors. This study scrutinized the influence of layers on EFFICIENCY for conventional Collectors (Raschel and Aluminum mesh) through a meticulous analysis of theoretical relationships and the execution of experimental tests. In the laboratory phase, following the installation of the system, the output flow from the humidifier was directed toward the collecting plate. Subsequently, the EFFICIENCY of Collectors with 1, 2, 5, and 7 layers was assessed and compared based on the amount of collected water post-fog extraction. The results of the investigation into the theoretical relations governing water extraction from fog revealed a significant trend. As the shade coefficient of the Collector increases, aerodynamic EFFICIENCY demonstrates an initial increase, peaking at 50-60%, followed by a subsequent decrease. Furthermore, the EFFICIENCY of Raschel and Aluminum mesh is intricately linked to the Number of layers, with the highest theoretical EFFICIENCY observed at 4 and 7 layers, respectively. Experimental findings indicated the highest water collection EFFICIENCY for Raschel mesh with 5 layers at 55.3% and for Aluminum mesh with 6 layers at 58.1%. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the optimal Number of layers for Raschel and Aluminum mesh is determined to be 2 and 4 layers, respectively.
