Patent number: 9993744Abstract: An atmospheric water generation system, including a casing into which an air treatment unit and a chiller unit are located, the air treatment unit being provided with a first air inlet for ambient air and a first air outlet, the chiller unit being provided with a second air inlet and a second air outlet, wherein a respectively closing member is directly associated to each first and second air inlet and outlet. The system thus can additionally be used as an air conditioning unit, when the cooled and demoistured air from the air treatment unit is directed to a closed work space. The system may additionally include a water treatment unit and a power generating unit for stand alone purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: SEAS Société de l'Eau Aerienne Suisse SAInventor: Flavio Giacomini
