Analysis of the Effect of Distillation Parameters on Freshwater Yield in Seawater Dispenser

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of condensation that occurs in the condenser in the seawater distillation dispenser system. In the seawater dispenser system, it has been tested using the default system from the existing dispenser. The test results from the seawater distillation dispenser can change seawater with a seawater content of 20% to 0%. Initial testing was carried out only to see whether the built-in dispenser system with the addition of a 1-level condenser system could work well or not. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the condensation process that occurs in the condenser to see how efficiently the condenser works. The method used is by testing directly on the seawater distillation dispenser system. The test was carried out in 3 stages, each of which used a volume of 400 mL of seawater. The capacity refers to the volume available in the sea-water distillation dispenser reactor. The results obtained from the tests carried out are in the form of the time required for the freshwater production process, the amount of fresh water produced and the condenser temperature that occurs. This research is important to see the performance of the distillation dispenser system. In previous tests it has not been seen how efficient the system has been made. by testing the seawater distillation dispenser system, you can see how efficient the tool is and how the operating parameters occur. Fresh water production in stage 1 condenser starts to appear at 350 seconds (6 minutes first). The maximum production of fresh water is 24.6 mL (6.15%) of the total 400 ml. The average condenser temperature is above 80°C.
