DEVICE FOR PRODUCTION OF FRESH WATER FROM ATMOSPHERIC AIR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E03B3/28 B01D5/00 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for producing fresh water from water vapors contained in ambient air, and can be used to produce fresh water mainly in the coastal regions with the seas. Device contains a cooling partition separating the condensation zone of water vapor and cooling water, a receptacle for fresh water. Cooled partition is the upper surface of the through passage for the flow of cooling seawater. Path is located between two opposite walls of a container with an open top immersed in a body of water with sea water so that its walls extend beyond the surface of the sea water and prevent splashes from entering the water from the waves. Path is placed in such a way that one of its ends is at the surface of the water, and the other is lower with an inclination ranging from 20 to 45°. At that, the path in cross-section has the form of a triangle, whose base is turned to the bottom of the container, and the vertex is to the surface of the water body. Length of the base of the triangle is less than the width of the container in a direction perpendicular to the placement of the path, and the angle between the lateral edges of the triangle lies in the range 90–140°. In the immediate vicinity of the upstream end of the tract in the seawater is located the executive mechanism of the wind energy converter, that is a rotating shaft with a scapular mechanism for injecting sea water into a path fixed outside to the side surface of the container by means of a fastening device. Reservoir is located at the surface of the reservoir by floats.

EFFECT: invention provides the possibility of obtaining fresh water from atmospheric air without the use of an external power source.
