VORTEX EXTRACTOR OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC E03B3/28 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of obtaining fresh water from atmospheric air. Device includes the supply of atmospheric air to the compressed air power generators, the sub-cooling of a flow of compressed and concentrated air flow with deposition and removal of moisture. Extractor consists of carrying case in the form of a conical tube (1), with vortex air ejectors (2) built into its at the inlet and installed uniformly along the length of the case. Each ejector (2) is connected to its own self-vacuuming vortex tube (3) located in case (1) of the extractor. Before each self-vacuuming vortex tube (3), except for the first one, swirled flow diffuser (5) is installed. Copper rod (4) is built along an axis of the case and along its entire length, which serves as a cooler. Hemispherical grooves are formed on the surface of rod (4) along the entire length, which significantly intensify the heat exchange processes. Cooling elements (6) of heat pipes are installed at the ends of rod (4). End side of case (1) of the extractor is made in the form of an isogradient diffuser with vortex deflector (9) at the top and moisture collector (10) at the bottom. Distances Lve between vortex air ejectors (2) installed along the length of case (1) of extractor depend on the diameter Dve of ta place of the case (1) in which these ejectors are installed (2) and is equal to Lve≈(8÷10) Dve.

EFFECT: creation of a simple installation with an increased productivity of obtaining fresh water from atmospheric air is ensured.
