Abstract
The air-water generator is a promising device to provide freshwater in the future. However, the machine still produces less freshwater; hence, a study of the effect of air velocity with a fan installed at the entrance of a simple air-water generator on the freshwater mass was conducted under environmental conditions. The air velocities varied were 4 m/s, 5 m/s, and 6 m/s. The air-water generator was made from a refrigeration machine system using R134a refrigerant as the working fluid. The compressor specification was 1 PK rotary type. The results show that the highest average freshwater mass obtained is 1241 g for 7 hours, the highest COP was 4.72, and the highest total heat transfer rate is 208.21 J/s.
