Atmospheric water generator. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1 ...
Air well (condenser) High-mass air well of Belgian engineer Achille Knapen in Trans-en-Provence. An air well or aerial well is a structure or device that collects water by promoting the condensation of moisture from air. [1] Designs for air wells are many and varied, but the simplest designs are completely passive, require no external energy ...
DOAS Diagram. Moisture Removal Efficiency (MRE) is a measure of the energy efficiency of any dehumidification process. Moisture removal efficiency is the water vapor removed from air at a defined inlet air temperature and humidity, divided by the total energy consumed by the dehumidification equipment during the same time period, including all fan and pump energy needed to move air and fluids ...
A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device which reduces and maintains the level of humidity in the air. [1] This is done usually for health or thermal comfort reasons or to eliminate musty odor and to prevent the growth of mildew by extracting water from the air. It can be used for household, commercial, or industrial applications.
Danby specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing small appliances through national and independent retailers in Canada, the US, UK, and Mexico. [2] It is a privately held Canadian and US company headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, and Findlay, Ohio. While the company is well-established in Canada, more than half of its sales are ...
Humidifier. A humidifier is a household appliance or device designed to increase the moisture level in the air within a room or an enclosed space. It achieves this by emitting water droplets or steam into the surrounding air, thereby raising the humidity. Humidifier in an art museum in Augsburg, Germany.
Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. Humidity depends on the temperature and pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor results in higher relative humidity in cool air than warm air. A related parameter is the dew point.
Fog collection. Fog collection is the harvesting of water from fog using large pieces of vertical mesh netting to induce the fog-droplets to flow down towards a trough below. The setup is known as a fog fence, fog collector or fog net. Through condensation, atmospheric water vapour from the air condenses on cold surfaces into droplets of liquid ...
