New composite material for storage and production of water from atmospheric air has been investigated experimentally. Experiments have been performed in the Indian climatic condition at NIT Kurukshetra, India [29 degrees 58' (latitude) North and 76 degrees 53' (longitude) East] in the month of October. Three numbers of newly designed solar glass desiccant box type system (SGDBS) having a capture area 0.36 m(2) each, have been used, The design parameters for the water production are height of glass from desiccant bed at 0.22 m, inclination in angle at 30 degrees, effective thickness of glass at 3 mm and number of glazing as single. It is found that water production rate depends upon the concentration of CaCl2 in the saw wood. Maximum quantity of water production by the composite material having 60% concentration is 180 ml/kg/day. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
