PROCESS OF WINNING OF WATER FROM AIR ( AIR DRYING ) AND GEAR FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: cooling processes. SUBSTANCE: stream of humid air formed by one fan as minimum is cooled in first heat exchanger by intermediate heat transfer agent and in cooling element of refrigerating machine to temperature below dew point with subsequent removal of condensed water. Then stream of air is heated in second heat exchanger by intermediate heat transfer agent and in element of refrigerating machine meant for heat removal. In this case flow rates of intermediate heat transfer agent and humid air can be controlled simultaneously or sequentially depending on climatic parameters of atmospheric air. Direction of humid air is periodically changed with cooling of humid air below temperature of water freezing guiding it first into element of refrigerating machine intended for heat removal and later into cooling element. Condensed water is purified, filtered and mineralized. EFFECT: increased output of water thanks to raised productivity of refrigerating machine with reduced energy consumption and enlarged area of contact of sections of heat exchanger having temperature below dew point to humid air. 25 cl
