  • Apparatus and method for cooling of closed spaces and production of freshwater from hot humid air
    Patent number: 6481232
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for the combined collection of freshwater from atmospheric humidity and cooling of closed spaces in hot and humid climates through collection and processing of water vapor condensate from air conditioning units and dehumidification and air-drying units. Components of air conditioning units are rearranged to allow outdoor air to go through the units to increase the condensate and hence freshwater production. Design modifications of dehumidifiers include separation of cooling and water condensation components from other components that radiate heat to enhance the cooling effects of dry air leaving the dehumidifiers. In addition, apparatus and methods are disclosed for adaptation of commercial dehumidifiers using gas refrigerants in providing ample freshwater quantities and comfortable space cooling.
