    This document describes the design and fabrication of a fog collector for water harvesting. It discusses how fog collectors can collect water from fog where traditional water sources are scarce. The fog collector was designed with a frame, mesh, tray, stand and reservoir. Experiments were conducted with the fog collector at different locations and orientations. The results showed that the fog collector collected more water when deployed vertically compared to horizontally, and at a higher elevation due to increased fog density and wind speeds. On average, the vertical orientation collected 25% more water than the horizontal orientation.

    INTRODUCTION

    For collection is the process of collection water form


    fog

    where traditional water sources are scarce but fog is


    frequent there fog collector can fulfill the demand of
    water.

    Like the ground water it doesn’t need any treatment


    for purification
    OBJECTIVES

    • To design and fabricate a fog collectors with appropriate mesh material.

    • To evaluate the performance of fog collectors

    • To compare the efficiency and water collection rate of the fog collector at
    different location and different frame orientation

    4 experiment was done at 2 different location in 2 different alignment of frame
    Experiment 01: At CUET Central field and Horizontal alignment of Frame
    Experiment 02: At CUET Central field and Vertical alignment of Frame
    Experiment 03: At roof top of Q.K Hall and horizontal alignment of frame
    Experiment 04: At roof top of Q.K Hall and Vertical alignment of frame

    Experiment 01 Experiment 03 Experiment 04

     The fog collector exhibited a higher efficiency and average water collection rate when deployed in a vertical orientation
    compared to a horizontal orientation.

     And the fog collector collect more water in higher elevation


    CONCLUSION
    Reason for advantage on vertical frame over horizontal frame

    When the frame is positioned vertically

    The mesh threads also become vertical

    This allows water droplets that condense on the mesh to utilize gravity

    The droplets can easily roll down using the vertical threads

    Reason for fog collector advantage over elevation


    Increased Fog Density

    Higher Wind Speeds
