METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING CONDENSATE FROM SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: gas-turbine plants producing condensate (artificial rain) from atmosphere. SUBSTANCE: method involves air compression, heat supply, air expansion, re-expansion, and compression to atmospheric pressure. In the process, second air stream is produced which is re-expanded to pressure lower than atmospheric value, moisture is separated, and dry air is compressed to atmospheric pressure. Second loop passes through evacuating unit whose shaft mounts turbine set in motion by means of working heat supplied from main gas producer. EFFECT: provision for producing pure water condensate from surrounding atmosphere on commercial scale. 2 cl, 2 dwg
