  • Patent number: 10422112
    Abstract: A modular apparatus for water production from atmospheric air includes: a first parallelepiped module having an inlet opening, an outlet opening, a ventilator, to force an air flow to cross an internal volume of the first module, a condensation unit, located internally of the first module that intercepts the air flow, and a collecting tub for collecting the condensation water; and a second parallelepiped module containing a refrigerating unit including a portion of a refrigerating circuit in which a refrigerating fluid circulates and an evaporator to cool the air flow inside the condensation unit; the first module and the second module are reciprocally fixed at a respective interconnecting face. The second module having an interconnecting face having a width equal to twice a width of an interconnecting face side of the first module.

  • Patent number: 10385549
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for production of water from atmospheric air comprises a condensation unit (20) comprising: an inlet opening (21) of the moist air with a dew point of lower than 0° C., an outlet opening (22) of the dehumidified air, at least a ventilator (23) configured so as to force an air flow and enter through the inlet opening (21) and exit from the outlet opening (22), a heat exchange plate (24), interposed between the inlet opening (21) and the outlet opening (22), so as to intercept the air flow and able to be crossed by the air flow, in which a refrigerating fluid of a refrigerating unit (30) circulates at a lower temperature than a dew point temperature of the air flow and at least a heating element configured so as to heat the heat exchange plate (24) for defrosting the ice condensed thereon.

  • Patent number: 9993744
    Abstract: 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.
