METHOD FOR PRODUCING WATER FROM AIR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E03B3/28 C02F1/14 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method includes intake and supply of atmospheric air to compressed air energy generators (1), cooling of compressed air flow after generators (1) in capacitors (9) with settling and removal of moisture. The compressed air energy generators (1) are placed under sea level and made in the form of compressors of volumetric action, which stationary part is fixed by means of anchors (29) to sea bottom surface (2), and movable part is connected to buoys (4). The buoys have positive buoyancy and are wave energy extractors. Heating and forced saturation of atmospheric air with moisture is performed before its compression by passing, namely bubbling of atmospheric air through preheated sea water located in tanks (5) inside the buoys (4). Containers (5) have transparent surface (6) for passing radiant energy of the sun therein for heating sea water. Additional heating of sea water in the tanks (5) located in the buoys (4) is implemented by recuperation of heat released when compressing atmospheric air in the compressors (1). Absorption of atmospheric air saturated with atmospheric air by the energy generators (1) is carried out by the energy of sea waves extracted by the buoys (4) connected to mobile portion of the generators (1). Compression of atmospheric air saturated with moisture by the energy generators (1) and its pumping into condensers (9) positioned under sea level is made due to hydrostatic pressure of sea water force at a depth of installed compressed air energy generators (1). Precipitated moisture is taken from the condensers (9) to storage containers (11) located below sea level.

EFFECT: increased process efficiency for fresh water due to forced and additional air saturation with moisture, by preheating sea water and air using radiant energy of the sun and recuperation of heat released during air compression.
