Abstract:
Methods are provided for optimizing generation of water on-board a vehicle with reduced impact on fuel economy. Regenerative braking energy, and/or solar energy, in excess of what is required for charging a system battery, is used to operate a water extractor and save the captured energy as stored water. A proportion of the braking energy used to charge the battery versus operate the water extractor is adjusted as a function of operating conditions including a water level in a water reservoir on-board the vehicle.

Claim (Index 18):
A vehicle system, comprising:\n vehicle wheels propelled using torque from one or more of an engine and an electric motor; a water generation system including a water extractor driven by an electric machine, the water extractor extracting water from ambient air, and a water reservoir for storing the extracted water; a system battery electrically coupled to each of the electric motor and the electric machine; a solar energy system including solar cells for capturing incident radiation, the captured incident radiation stored as charge in the system battery; a water level sensor coupled to the reservoir; a nozzle for spraying water onto a vehicle component; a vehicle speed sensor; a pedal for receiving an operator input; and a controller with computer readable instructions that when executed causes the controller to:\n operate the water extractor using electrical energy drawn at the electric machine from the battery when a water level in the reservoir is below a threshold; and \n operate the water extractor using electrical energy generated via the electric motor during vehicle deceleration, and via the solar cells during solar loading.
