When the humidification-dehumidification (HD) process is used to produce fresh water, design ofhumidification chamber play important role with solar circular collector air heater and dehumidifier. A GIhumidification chamber is developed without any insulation cover. The water is pumped by submersible pumps to thehumidifier grass bed and then fall back on the bottom in small drops and hot air supplied by blower into the humidifierthrough four pipes from solar air heater. To study the effect of mass flow rate of air on evaporation rate, variousexperiments are conducts by varying mass flow rate of air by regulating speed of blower. It is observe that theevaporation rate is varying with different mass flow rate of Air. Also water temperature is influence on the vapor contentdifference and the humidification efficiency. In spite of the efficiency of the humidifier is obtained up to 90%.
