Abstract: A water extraction system having a cooling system adapted to cool air to below the dew point, the cooling system including an absorption chiller (1.002) including a heat source (1.004), the system includes an air/heat transfer fluid heat exchanger (1.016), and a water collector (1.022) arranged to collect water from the air/heat transfer fluid heat exchanger. The air/heat transfer fluid heat exchanger (1.016) is adapted to cool the air below the dew point. The chiller can include a heat input in the form of exhaust gasses from a gas turbine. The gas turbine can also drive an electrical generator. The air outlet from the water generator can be used in an air conditioning system. The system can include one or more chillers powered by, for example, turbine exhaust. Additional heat source, such as natural gas can be provided to bring the chillers to the operating temperature. A controller controls the change-over between heat sources.
