Atmospheric Water Generators
An AWG (atmospheric water generator) is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air. An AWG operates in a manner very similar to that of refrigerated dehumidifier: air is passed over a cooled coil, causing water to condense. The rate of water production depends on the humidity, the volume of air passing over the coil, and the machine’s capacity to cool the coil.
Although collecting water from air has been in practice for 2000 years, in Middle Eastern deserts, the first modern AWG was produced in 1970 when Melvin Littrell began produced water from the air with a system that did not require a compressor. In 1990, Littrell patented the system’s technology as an Atmospheric Water Generator.
In order to meet stringent FDA and NSF standards most AWG systems are coupled to one or more advanced filter systems (including UV light chamber) before being stored in stainless-steel holding tanks. Other options include:
- air filters to help prevent dirt from accumulating on the coil
- hot and cold stainless-steel holding tanks that allow water to be served heated or chilled
- automatic shut off devices to prevent overflowing.
AWGs are available in a variety of sizes and styles including systems that produce a mere 32 oz of water per day to all-electronic units producing 75 liters per day with compressors, and finally to commercial applications that can product from 35,000 to 100,000 gallons of water each day.
