Publication number: 20240115990Abstract: Generally, an air dehumidification system useful in dehumidifying gases to produce gases having low dew points. Specifically, an air dehumidifier and methods of making and using an air dehumidifier including a plurality of modules each containing a water capture material which absorbs water from a supply airflow in an adsorption mode and releases water vapor in a desorption mode, wherein one or more of the plurality of modules concurrently operate in the adsorption mode to reduce the dew point of the supply airflow as one or more of the plurality of modules operate in the desorption mode to regenerate the water capture material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Water Harvesting, Inc.Inventors: Ievgen Kapustin, David S. Kuo

Publication number: 20230338891Abstract: Provided herein are water harvesting systems, as well as methods using such systems, for capturing water from surrounding air. The systems and methods use water capture materials to adsorb water from the air. For example, the water capture materials may be metal-organic-frameworks. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor is condensed into liquid water and collected. The liquid water is suitable for use as drinking water.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2021Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Water Harvesting,Inc.Inventors: Taber Hardesty Smith, David S. Kuo, Ievgen A. Kapustin, Bruno Marchon, Faisal Shafikurrehman Maniar

Publication number: 20230063572Abstract: Water harvesting systems and methods of making and using such water harvesting systems, for capturing water from surrounding air using configurations that reduce overall energy costs and improves water harvesting cycle efficiency in the water harvesting system. In particular embodiments, the water harvesting system can be configured for dehumidification-humidification of air, and a method in the water harvesting system for dehumidification-humidification to control moisture level in the air conditioned by the water harvesting system. The systems and methods use sorbent materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, to adsorb water from the air. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor can be condensed into liquid water and collected to dehumidify air conditioned by the water harvesting system. The collected liquid water can be sprayed to humidify air conditioned by the water harvesting system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Water Harvesting, Inc.Inventors: Ievgen Kapustin, David S.
