INTRODUCTION 1

 James J Reidy discovered the concept

behind the technology 20 years ago.

 In 1998 research and development

began and in 2002 Air to Water
Technology was integrated.
WORKING  Atmospheric water generator (AWG)
PRINCIPLE is a electricity-powered device that
uses the dehumidification principle
to make pure drinking water out of
the moisture present in the air.

AWG
 In this type, a compressor circulates refrigerant
through a condenser and then surrounding air is
cooled by an evaporator coil.

1)COOLING
A controlled-speed fan pushes warm air out.
CONDENSATION
TYPE AWG
This lowers the air temperature to its dew point,
causing water to condense.

The resulting water is then passed into a holding

tank with purification and filtration system to
keep the water pure.

DEPENDS ON
 This method uses chemical salts
to pull water out of the air.

The technology may use liquid or

DESICCANT- solid desiccants to pull water from
the air (like Lithium bromide, Silica gel).

BASED AWG
In desiccant based water generators,
humid air passes over a salt mixture.
The wet salt is then heated to the
boiling point. The steam is condensed
and routed to filters for processing.

The resulting water is clean and free of

chemicals. This is mostly applied in
large-scale levels like the military or
industrial units.
ADVANTAGES OF AWG

Clean and pure can be obtained due to processes of

multi filtration.

Eliminates hazards caused by viruses, bacteria,

pesticides and heavy metal contaminants.

Rich oxygen contained in the water improves

metabolism of your body.

Tastes sweeter and better.

DISADVANTAGES OF AWG

The product price of an AWG is higher compared to

municipal.

Climate is an important factor for AWG machines to run

efficiently.
