Field of the invention

The technical solution relates to an equipment for water condensation from the air in order to use the resulting fluid - water.

Background of the invention

From the prior art, there is a solution for cooling the air by means of a system comprising evaporator and condenser. There is also known a solution to obtain water from the air when the precipitated water drips down the aluminium tip directly into the glass. However, this solution has a minimal performance only approx. 1 del in 6 hours of operation. Another known solution is the one of University of California, where the air is squeezed using a specially created material based on MOFy. The mentioned solution provides enough water, however, this solution is uneconomical and the obtained water is very expensive. Further a solution is known where the device is built into a space and one part of it together with a container on the water is placed underground and the air is blown into this part, which condenses in that underground cooled part. The disadvantage of this solution is the need to place the device into the ground, which is e.g. in mountainous or otherwise inhospitable conditions highly problematic.

The devices used so far, with its technical solution, do not provide enough output raw material, water or are inefficient in their technical solution.

The summary of the invention

These disadvantages are eliminated by equipment for water condensation comprising a cooling circuit which comprises an evaporator which is connected by means of a system of pipes containing a cooling fluid with compressor, condenser and expansion valve, according to this invention, whose essence is that it contains a fan for sucking air from the environment. The air of ambient temperature passing through the evaporator is cooled to the dew point temperature and thus it condenses, whereas the water condensation device further comprises a photovoltaic panel, and cooled air is passed under this photovoltaic panel for cooling. The photovoltaic panel is designed to supply individual elements of the equipment for water condensation. The air is further led to the condenser, where the heat generated by the compressor is transferred to the cooled air and that is released into the environment.

It is expedient for the evaporator to be equipped with at least one fluid collector and it is also preferred to be equipped with at least one air filter to catch dirt.

It is preferred that at least one filter unit is connected to the water collector to obtain drinking water.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the air condensation device comprises an alternative power supply for ensuring continuous uninterrupted operation, for example connection directly to the electrical network or to the batteries

Example of embodiment of the invention

The equipment for water condensation from air which is placed in a free space, for example on free area of the garden, sucks with the help of fan 2 an ambient air with temperature Ti , ambient temperature varies depending on the place and season, or on the external conditions created, for example, this temperature Ti is 30 ° C.

The equipment for water condensation comprises a cooling circuit 1 which is formed by a system of pipes 15 containing a cooling fluid, for example a gas. The gas passes through the compressor 12, where it occurs the increase in pressure and temperature, and then proceeds to the condenser 13, where the heat generated is transferred to the ambient air. Next, the refrigerant enters the expansion valve 14, where gas pressure is reduced and cooled. The gas thus cooled enters the evaporator J , where it absorbs the heat of the intake air. Cooling circuit 1 is intended for cooling the ambient air at the inlet. The intake air passes through an evaporator 1±, preferably provided with an air filter 111, where the air is cooled by means of cooling circuit 1 and the air cooled to dew point condenses and the water is preferably collected in the fluid collector 4.

The cooled air from the evaporator 11 flows towards the condenser 13 and is also led below the photovoltaic panel 3, and the underside of the photovoltaic panel 3 is cooled by cooled air, thus maximizing its efficiency and also increasing the efficiency of the whole device by means of the increased power of the compressor 12, i.e. of the transferred heat or cold of the passing air and then the amount of formed condensate increases.

The cooled air further receives heat from the cooling circuit 1 behind the compressor 12 and is deflated to the environment.

In a preferred embodiment, the equipment is provided with a filter unit 5 for the production of drinking water, which is stored in a collecting container 6 with a drain valve 7.

For example, it is advantageous to connect the device to another power supply 9, e.g. from the mains, or to a backup batteries, to ensure continuous operation, even at night, when the photovoltaic panel 3 is not functional due to the impossibility of using solar energy.

In a preferred embodiment, the equipment is provided with a protective cover 8 to ensure safety and trouble-free operation.
