Abstract The thermodynamic balancing is a powerful tool to minimize the entropy generation in a thermal system. This tool is investigated to thermodynamically balance a novel desiccant-based humidification-dehumidification (HDH) system by extracting the recirculated air. It is carried out for a zero, single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, and infinity extractions. The HDH system is incorporated with a number of air dryers to produce freshwater from the humid air. An enthalpy pinch, which is described as the minimum air-to-desiccant enthalpy difference, is used as an index to approach the system thermodynamic balancing. For small values (
