AUTONOMOUS INSTALLATION FOR OBTAINING WATER FROM AIR

The invention relates to the field of water supply for various economic needs and can be used to extract water from the air, including in deserts, semi-deserts, and arid, water-deprived steppe regions. The objective of this invention is to simplify the design of an autonomous system for extracting water from the air, even in environments with low water-vapor content, such as deserts and semi-deserts. The system comprises an air-intake pipe equipped with vertical conditioning panels, topped with a protective cap and a mosquito net; an inverted cone containing a wind generator; and a collection/sedimentation pipe featuring an internal vertical conditioning/separation panel, an elbow, an intermediate pipe, and a heating enclosure. The system utilizes solar thermal and light energy, as well as wind energy, to extract water from the air. It is designed as a modular unit, with the precipitation panels installed directly into the pipes, allowing for assembly within 24 hours. The precipitation panels have outlets connected to an adapter between the air-intake pipe and the collection/sedimentation pipe; should any panel fail, it can be replaced quickly. The installation does not require concrete work; the collection/sedimentation pipe is simply lowered into a large-diameter borehole—excavated using an earth auger—after which the space between the borehole wall and the pipe wall is backfilled and compacted.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of water supply for various economic needs and can be used to extract water from the air, including in deserts, semi-deserts, and arid, water-deprived steppe regions. The objective of this invention is to simplify the design of an autonomous system for extracting water from the air, even in environments with low water-vapor content, such as deserts and semi-deserts. The system comprises an air-intake pipe equipped with vertical conditioning panels, topped with a protective cap and a mosquito net; an inverted cone containing a wind generator; and a collection/sedimentation pipe featuring an internal vertical conditioning/separation panel, an elbow, an intermediate pipe, and a heating enclosure. The system utilizes solar thermal and light energy, as well as wind energy, to extract water from the air. It is designed as a modular unit, with the precipitation panels installed directly into the pipes, allowing for assembly within 24 hours. The precipitation panels have outlets connected to an adapter between the air-intake pipe and the collection/sedimentation pipe; should any panel fail, it can be replaced quickly. The installation does not require concrete work; the collection/sedimentation pipe is simply lowered into a large-diameter borehole—excavated using an earth auger—after which the space between the borehole wall and the pipe wall is backfilled and compacted.
