METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AIR CONDITIONING WITH EXTRACTION OF WATER FROM ATMOSPHERE FOR USE IN VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B60H3/00 B60H1/32 F24F5/00 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; air conditioning systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention comes to delivery of air, its cooling to temperature below dew point with condensing, separation, accumulation cleaning and enriching of condensate. Air conditioning is carried out to standardized parameters with simultaneous removal of condensate. Separation of condensate from flow of atmospheric air is done by increasing section of inlet channel of heat exchanger-evaporator Ω₂ relative to cross section of inlet channel of evaporating unit of air conditioner Ω₁ with account of value 1/cosα where α is angle of tilting of inlet surface of heat exchanger-evaporator relative to plane of cross section of inlet channel of evaporator unit of air conditioner at 0°<α<90° and braking of flow passing through heat exchanger-evaporator. Condensate is cleaned and mineralized at pressure up to 1 bar. Proposed device contains evaporator unit air conditioner consisting of fan, heat exchanger-evaporator and sump, moisture collector, filter and condensate saturation unit. Heat exchanger-evaporator arranged before fan is installed at angle 0°<α<90° relative to direction of inlet channel of air conditioner evaporator unit, and fine-mesh gauze is tightly secured at outlet of heat exchanger-evaporator. Mineralizer is used as condensate filtering and saturating unit.

EFFECT: provision of required microclimate in saloon of vehicle with simultaneously obtaining water from atmospheric air in amounts sufficient for practical use.
