WaterMicronWorld,Ltd Our Units Use Solar Thermal ...

March 26, 2010 - PRLog -- The WaterMicronWorld AWG-50 units produce pure portable drinking water from air using only solar energy.  It operates with a much lower operating cost than other AWG systems because it does not require large amounts of electricity.
The Machine absorbs moisture at night when humidity is relatively high and converts what it absorbed the prior night into liquid water the following day using solar thermal heat. Well over 90% of the energy used in the system is solar heat.
In this system all condensing occurs at near ambient temperatures and it does not require any refrigeration. High quality filters are used to filter the air before the absorption at night, which keeps the interior of the system very clean.
A HEPPA grade filter is used for the gas entering the condenser chamber, which keeps the water quality near surgical grade. The system includes an automatic mode where it sterilizes the condensing area on days when there is sufficient solar energy to reach pasteurization temperatures.
A small amount of energy is delivered by Photo Voltaic panels, which operate a microcomputer control system, sensors, blowers, pumps, etc.
The New AWG-50 WaterMicronWorld uses a desiccant to absorb moisture from the air. The higher the humidity the more water our desiccant can absorb per pass, which increases production.  

We use solar heat to drive both the airflow for the absorption process and to provide heat during the regeneration process, which extracts the moisture from the desiccant and allows us to capture the water in liquid form.

A sophisticated micro controller based sensor system determines when to switch between absorption and regeneration modes. We use different types and amounts of desiccants depending on the local conditions to optimize the performance of the system. A small Photo Voltaic solar panel provides power for the micro controller, sensors, various valves, etc.
