Abstract: This invention provides a simple and energy-efficient process for obtaining water from air through better use of the solid desiccants using a high heating cycle in a confined space, applying minimal air flow and avoiding the use of a chilled condenser plate. The process of obtaining water in this invention consists of the production of water using, in one embodiment, a rotating drum covered with a desiccating material, a device that generates heat in a confined space, and a collection chamber. The process begins with charging the adsorbent material, which captures water vapor from the environment. Then, a discharging stage occurs through which an area of the desiccated material is exposed to controlled heating in a confined space, allowing the trapped water vapor to be released from the desiccant. A very light air flow may also be applied to increase the draw of the water vapor toward the area of condensation.
