METHOD TO EXTRACT WATER FROM AIR, DEVICE FOR WATER EXTRACTION FROM AIR AND CONDENSER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E03B3/28 B01D5/00 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: method to extract water from air includes formation of atmospheric air flow and cooling of formed air flow in a condenser channel. Air flow is used to blow water condensed along the condenser's channel. At the same time turbulence is developed in air flow, and some condensed water is sprayed in it. Condensate is drained from the condenser at intervals of specified length along the condenser channel. The device comprises a unit for formation of air flow with a water sprayer and a condenser, a control unit. The unit of atmospheric air flow formation additionally includes an air heater and is arranged with the possibility to heat air and dose sprayed water. The unit of atmospheric air flow formation is connected to a control unit. The condenser includes at least two sections arranged in series along the formed air flow. Each section is arranged with the possibility to drain water condensed in it. The condenser is arranged in the form of a box with flat hollow elements. Elements are arranged with the possibility to circulate cooling agent in them and are installed in the box with the possibility of air flow passing in between them. Flat hollow elements are installed in the box horizontally or at the angle to horizon one under another. The elements are installed with the possibility of their serial exposure to the air flow that flows via gaps between side edges of flat elements and appropriate box walls. Walls of hollow flat elements are arranged as corrugated with corrugate alignment across the air flow direction or at the angle to it.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in process of water extraction from air and efficient usage of cooling agent.
