Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of atmospheric water generation (AWG) systems, specifically focusing on integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and renewable energy systems to enhance water extraction from atmospheric air. It also encompasses areas related to air filtration, energy management, and environmental adaptability.

BACKGROUND
[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the present disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.
[0003] Atmospheric water generation (AWG) relies on various methods to extract moisture from humid air, each of which has inherent limitations. Traditional AWGs primarily employ condensation techniques, which include chilling air to its dew point, utilizing desiccants for moisture collection, and employing membrane-based extraction. However, these methods often entail significant energy consumption due to the continuous operation of cooling systems and compressors, leading to concerns about sustainability and efficiency.
[0004] One of the notable challenges with conventional AWGs is their effectiveness, particularly in low-humidity environments, where water extraction becomes increasingly difficult. Additionally, the air filtration systems used in these technologies, typically incorporating activated HEPA filters, are designed to remove particles, contaminants, and microorganisms. While effective, these filtration systems require regular maintenance and frequent filter replacements to function optimally. Advanced filtering techniques, such as UV sterilization and electrostatic precipitation, further complicate the issue by consuming substantial amounts of energy and facing difficulties in efficiently capturing ultrafine particles and certain microorganisms.
[0005] Moreover, traditional condensation chambers in AWGs depend on cooling surfaces for water vapour condensation. This reliance often results in high energy usage and low efficiency due to the lack of sophisticated cooling methods and the absence of dynamic adjustment capabilities to respond to fluctuating environmental conditions. As a result, the current systems for producing atmospheric water encounter significant obstacles related to energy consumption, effectiveness, air quality preservation, and scalability. These challenges underscore the urgent need for innovative solutions that can overcome the limitations of existing AWG technologies. Addressing these issues is essential for enhancing energy efficiency, improving overall system effectiveness, preserving air quality, and enabling large-scale water production.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a system and method that can overcome the shortcomings of the existing prior arts.
