Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed which enable an atmospheric water generator to measure a variety of water quality parameters throughout its subsystems and conduits, and implement corresponding response protocols when the measurements deviate from their normal ranges. The ranges may be reprogrammable locally at the generator or remotely from the generator. The response protocols may include self-cleaning regimes to help quickly and efficiently bring deviant measurements back into their normal ranges. Generator notification, alarm and shutdown protocols may be implemented when the measurements reach unsafe values, in order to protect the consumer and ensure their ongoing confidence in the quality of the water dispensed from the generator. Subsystems are also described which improve the operational efficiency of the generator, keep the cold dispensing line clear of bacteria, and maximize the useful life of UV bulbs within the water collection and cold storage tanks.

Claim (Index 8):
An atmospheric water generator for operating in an environment with ambient air and generating potable water therefrom, the atmospheric water generator comprising:\n (a) a water production element configured to transform water vapor from the ambient air to liquid water; (b) a cold tank for cooling a refrigerated volume of the liquid water to a cold-water temperature; (c) a hot tank for heating a heated volume of the liquid water to a hot-water temperature, the hot-water temperature being greater than the cold-water temperature; (d) a water dispense outlet at which water is dispensable from the generator; (e) a cold valve for controlling the flow of water from the cold tank toward the water dispense outlet; (f) a hot valve for controlling the flow of water from the hot tank toward the water dispense outlet; (g) a dispense temperature selection interface configured to allow a user of the generator to select a dispense temperature, the selected dispense temperature being between the cold-water temperature and the hot-water temperature; and (h) a dispense temperature controller in electrical communication with the dispense temperature selection interface, and configured to control opening and closing of the hot valve and the cold valve in a coordinated fashion so as to maintain the dispensed liquid water at the selected dispense temperature.
