METHOD FOR EXTRACTING WATER FROM AIR, AND DEVICE THEREFOR

A method for extracting water from air even without supply of electricity from a power source or supply of fuel, and a device therefore are disclosed. A device used for a method for extracting water from air at least comprises a hygroscopic roller rotatably pivoted, having hygroscopicity and including at least one region allowing air to pass therethrough in the direction of the thickness thereof, a regeneration passage whose opposite ends respectively open in the two opposed surfaces of a regeneration region, which is part of the region of the hygroscopic rotor, for regenerating the hygroscopic rotor absorbing moisture, the regeneration passage serving to circulate air for regenerating the hygroscopic rotor, and a drain hole disposed below the regeneration passage for taking out condensation water from the regeneration passage. © KIPO & WIPO 2007 ...

Method for Extracting Water from Air, and Device Therefor

A method by which water may be extracted from the air even without a supply of electricity from a power source or even without a supply of fuel, as well as an apparatus therefor, is disclosed. The apparatus used for the method for extracting water from the air comprises at least a rotatably mounted hygroscopic moisture-absorbing rotor having at least one region through which air can pass in the direction of thickness thereof; a passage for regeneration through which air for regeneration is circulated, of which both ends are opened at the opposing two surfaces of a regeneration region, respectively, the regeneration region being a part of the moisture-absorbing rotor, at which the moisture-absorbing rotor that absorbed moisture is regenerated; and a drain hole for taking out condensed water from the passage for regeneration.

BACTERIA REACTOR AND ALGAE REACTOR FOR WATER TREATMENT AND WATER PURIFICATION DEVICE USING THEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water purification device which can efficiently remove organic substances and/or inorganic nutrient salts from an eutrophicated water (a water to be treated) in the closed water area of seawater or freshwater and continuously and can easily treat a large amount of the water to be treated. SOLUTION: A bacteria reactor or an algae reactor comprises deposited carriers 5a filled in a reaction area 2a of a reactor body 1a, and adhesive heterotrophic bacteria or minute algae deposited on the deposited carrier surface. The bacteria reactor decomposes organic substances in a water to be treated, and the algae reactor takes in and removes inorganic nutrient salts in the water to be treated. A water purification device is constituted by connecting the discharge port 4a of the bacteria reactor and the introduction port 3a of the algae reactor, and discharges the treated water which is purified from the water to be treated by decomposing/removing the organic substances ...

METHOD FOR EXTRACTING WATER FROM AIR, AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which enables water to be extracted from air even in the absence of the supply of electricity from a power source and the supply of fuel, and an apparatus therefor. SOLUTION: This apparatus for use in the method for extracting the water from the air is equipped at least with a moisture absorbing rotor, a recycling passage for circulating recycling air for recycling the moisture absorbing rotor, and a drain hole which is provided in the lower part of the recycling passage and used for extracting condensation liquid water from the recycling passage. The recycling air, which is to be supplied to a recycling area of the moisture absorbing rotor, is heated by sunlight, so as to be circulated through the recycling passage and so that the moisture absorbing rotor can be recycled; the recycling air after the recycling of the moisture absorbing rotor is cooled for the generation of the dew condensation; the condensed water is recovered from the drain hole ...
