Abstract:
A system for the production of a limited quantity of freshwater and drinking water by condensation of water vapor from high temperature, high humidity ambient air wherein water condensate flows therein by gravity without the aid of pumps or water lifts; said system comprising:a water vapor condensation means for condensing water vapor entrained in hot and humid ambient air, said air is flowing by natural air convection over and around said condensation means whether said air is circulating inside a closed space or fresh air blowing around in an open space surrounding said condensation means; an initial transportation means for transporting by gravity the condensate from said condensation means; a vent means for facilitating water flow in said system by gravity under ambient pressure; a water preparation means for preparing product water for drinking; a water distribution means for distributing drinking water from said water preparation means by gravity; a control means for controlling the operation of said condensation means; and an electric means for supplying electric power to said condensation means.
