Abstract: An improved potable water collection apparatus contained within a housing, for the collection of potable water from a dynamic airflow extending between inlet and outlet ports. A compressor is mounted within the housing to circulate a refrigerant fluid in a closed loop circulation system between the compressor, a condenser coil and a cooling coil. The condenser coil and the cooling coil are mounted in the dynamic airflow extending between the inlet and outlet ports. A water collection pan is located beneath the cooling coils to collect condensation which forms as water droplets on the outer surface of the cooling coils, and directs the collected water droplets into a suitable water collection container. A water filter is disposed between the collection pan and the container. A liquid level sensor stops the operation of the compressor when the water in the collection container reaches a desired level.
