Project Summary

Project Definition Looking into one of the most prominent concern in the developing and underdeveloped world, water crisis is one of the main problems that still persists since it is one of the most essential, basic and important requirements for a healthy body and the availability of clean water is really scare in these areas. In order to rectify and diminish these persistent problems related to water availability, especially in the coastal regions, where the sea is accessible but no means of cleaning that water for a good use. In this regard, our team will be working on in developing a water generator which will condense the suspended water molecules (humidity) from the atmosphere into liquid phase water. But, in order for this project to catch up, it must be applicable in the regions like the Eastern Province in the coastal cities where the humidity conditions can rise up to as much as 60% in the atmosphere during peak times. This water generated could be then used in various applications.

Project Objectives

 Our project is based on the following objectives:

1. Design a system to convert the air into water to use it at homes to provide people with fresh water or can be used in farms for irrigation purposes.

 2. Preserving the limited water supply in Pakistan.

3. Take advantage of humid weather by generating water.

Project Implementation Method

First of all we connected our generator to power supply which results to switch on the fan and compressor.

When compressor is on along with suction fan, it provides cooling to the condenser. The condenser works as a heat transfer agent.

After that, when heat is out of the system, it produces water droplets which are collected in the tank.

After sometime the temperature of humid air and condenser becomes equal.

The rate at which water can be produced depends on relative humidity and ambient air temperature and size of the compressor. Atmospheric water generators become more effective as relative humidity and air temperature increase.

As a rule of thumb, cooling condensation atmospheric water generators do not work efficiently when the temperature falls below 18.3°C (65°F) or the relative humidity drops below 30%. This means they are relatively inefficient when located inside air-conditioned offices.

The cost-effectiveness of an AWG depends on the capacity of the machine, local humidity and temperature conditions and the cost to power the unit.

Water is often condensed from the air in the air conditioners when the ambient air is humid and hot in coastal tropical regions. This water can be conveniently used for drinking purpose.

The resulting water is then passed into a holding tank with purification and filtration system to help keep the water pure and reduce the risk posed by viruses and bacteria which may be collected from the ambient air on the evaporator coil by the condensing water.

Benefits of the Project

many projects are looked in its application in the real world which would test the dependability and durability of a concerned system. Similarly, our project serves to be remarkable in these aspects because water is a necessity of life and availability of clean water can be consumed in a lot of different aspects;

· The air water generator can be used to generate clean drinking water by attaching a filtration unit to it.

· The air water generator can be used at an industrial scale also, it can be used at a larger scale to generate enough amount of water to meet the needs of the workers for drinking and domestic usage.

· These water generators can also be placed in sectors such as Industrial, Residential and Commercial where water can be used to good use.

Water To Go
Industries which require travel, such as the military, can use an atmospheric water generator to create water when resources run low. Setting up camp in a desert, or a region where there is little safe drinking water is much simpler when you have a device like ours to continuously supply hydration.

It’s Cheap & Easy To Maintain
On of the biggest advantages of Atmospheric Water Generators are the cost efficiency of the device. While the immediate cost may outweigh the price of purchasing portable water from a retailer at first, the overall value improves, and a net gain is seen within a short time period.

Another benefit of this method of water retrieval is no additional operating expenses, and because the atmospheric water generator is autonomous, there are no electric bills.

Emergency Water Solutions
Finally, a major reason to implement an atmospheric water generator is for emergency and medical purposes. Having one of these units handy during recovery efforts can help source drinkable water for families, store supplies, medicine and blood, alongside other necessities.

Whether you are living in a remote area, or your job is taking you to a place where living conditions are less than favourable, we’ve got you covered when it comes to clean drinking water!

Geometrical Constraints:

 Air water generators can be made and designed of in any size as required by the end user. But, since we are targeting a more portable, easy to carry and transport approach. We have to ensure that it does not exceed a volume of 05 cubic meters. For that aspect, the constraint we had to face was to select a compressor , a fan module, a condensor to condense the atmospheric water vapour. In addition, there is a fan at the middle of the prototype body to compress the ambient air inside the system. Therefore, these geometrical constraints are the designing elements to get our prototype made.
