Atmospheric Water Generator

Abstract

An Atmospheric Water Generator is an appliance that employs dehumidification/condensing technology that extracts water from the humidity in the air. The water is then filtered and purified through several filters including carbon, and reverse osmosis, and UV sterilization lights. The result is pure drinking water from the air. An Atmospheric Water Generator Works on the same principle as a refrigerators and air conditioners i.e. on the principle of cooling through evaporation. The Atmospheric water generator works by converting atmospheric air to pressurized air using a Compressor and then this air is then passed through Condenser pipes which decreases it’s temperature to dew point. The air condenses to liquid and is passed through a filtration system and it is then stored in a tank. The major aim or objective of our project is to provide safe and clean drinking water to those areas which are facing water shortage problems or where water transportation through regular means is expensive (especially rural areas). Our project hopes to reduce this problem by providing an atmospheric water generator that will run via bicycle-gear arrangement or stand-alone renewable source of energy i.e. either solar or wind.
