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 16):
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 water reservoir for storage of the liquid water; (c) a reversing valve actuatable between a first valve configuration and a second valve configuration; (d) a hot water line in fluid communication between the water reservoir and the reversing valve, the hot water line comprising a water heating element; (e) a cold water line in fluid communication between the water reservoir and the reversing valve; (f) a water dispense outlet at which water is dispensable from the generator; (g) a first dispense line in fluid communication between the reversing valve and the water dispense outlet; (h) a first dispense valve for controlling the flow of water through the first dispense line; (i) a second dispense line in fluid communication between the reversing valve and the water dispense outlet; and (j) a second dispense valve for controlling the flow of water through the second dispense line; wherein\n (i) when the reversing valve is in its first valve configuration, the cold water line is in fluid communication with the first dispense line and the hot water line is in fluid communication with the second dispense line, and \n (ii) when the reversing valve is in its second valve configuration, the cold water line is in fluid communication with the second dispense line and the hot water line is in fluid communication with the first dispense line.
