Claim 11:
12. A method to extract water from ambient air, the method comprising:
heating, by a thermal unit, a regeneration fluid;
exposing a first desiccant unit to ambient air in a process air pathway and a regeneration fluid in a regeneration fluid pathway;
inputting ambient air to a second desiccant unit during a load time;
actuating a valve to establish a low pressure condition below 1 atmosphere during a release time;
condensing, by a condenser unit, water vapor from the regeneration fluid to produce liquid water from the regeneration fluid; and,
controlling, by a controller, a production rate of liquid water from air based on: an operational parameter for water production, an ambient environmental condition, or combinations thereof.
