DEVICE FOR OBTAINING FRESH WATER FROM ATMOSPHERIC AIR IN AREAS WITH HIGH TIDE INTENSITY Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC E02B3/28 B01D5/00 

FIELD: methods and apparatus for producing or collecting water.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for producing fresh water from water vapours contained in ambient air, and can be used to produce fresh water mainly in coastal areas with high tide intensity. Device consists of a pool filled with sea water at high tide, in the lower part of which there are weirs closed by doors. Shields are installed to the side surface of the pool along its perimeter in the immediate vicinity of the weirs and above them with the help of fasteners. Shields are fixed on the side surface of the pool from its outer side so that they can be pulled out during low tide and located at angle of 100 to 150 degrees relative to the vertical plane with rigid fixation, and move in until it touches the outer side surface of the pool when the pool is filled with sea water at high tide. Ends of shields in extended state are in free state above reservoir for collection of fresh water. Pool is fenced along the entire side and upper surface with a fine-mesh structure spaced from the side and upper surface of the pool at distance of 1 to 1.5 meters, which is fixed on supports made in the form of pillars having a height greater than the height of the pool, and installed along its perimeter.

EFFECT: reducing the area occupied by shields when filling the pool with sea water, as well as eliminating the negative effect of the device during operation on the state of coastal flora and fauna.
