METHOD OF WATER FROM AIR PRODUCING Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E03B3/28 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of autonomous fresh water production by evaporating sea water and condensing a steam-air mixture and can be used for drinking water supply, as well as for household needs. Method of obtaining water from air includes saturation of air with water vapor, formation of a steam-air flow by blowers, supply of compressed air saturated with water vapor into condensers with moisture extraction. Superchargers, powered by the energy of a sea wave, primarly purified air is moved in a closed thermodynamic cycle. Compressed hot moisture-saturated air from the superchargers is fed along vertical ducts located inside vertical water supply lines of external sea water into floating thermally insulated tanks for evaporation. Seawater is heated in water lines by the thermal energy of compressed air. Hot seawater is transferred from the water lines to the tanks by convection due to the difference in densities of cold outside and heated seawater in the water lines for intensive evaporation of water in tanks at elevated temperature and saturation of water vapor pulled by superchargers. Compressed air is throttled after processing in the capacitors, and the dehumidified air that is supercooled by the throttling is heated by the heat of the surrounding seawater. Dried air is supplied for additional heating and saturation with moisture in floating tanks, followed by pulling the steam-air mixture from the tanks and compressing the superchargers.

EFFECT: higher productivity of obtaining fresh water method.
