MOISTURE CONDENSATION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AIR VORTEX UNIT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC E03B3/28 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of fresh water from atmospheric air. Vortex installation of condensation of moisture from atmospheric air provides for supply of atmospheric air to compressed air energy generators, subcooling of flow of compressed and concentrated air flow with deposition and extraction of moisture. Installation is made of a carrying case in the form of a cone-shaped tube with integrated into it at the inlet and vortex air ejectors installed evenly along the body length. Each of ejectors is connected to its air connection pipe of air supply into housing. Air flow swirlers are installed inside the pipe behind the air unions. Cooling elements of heat pumps are installed on the housing from around the swirler. Face side of housing is made in form of isogradient diffuser with vortex deflector at top and water collector at bottom. Distance L_AE between installed along the housing length of the vortex air ejectors depend on the diameter D_AE housing, where vortex air ejectors are installed, and is equal to L_AE≈(8–10)D_RE.

EFFECT: invention provides for creation of a simple and cost-effective installation with increased efficiency of fresh water production from atmospheric air.
