| 20150298053 | Methods and Apparatuses for Energy Efficient Water Extraction from Air - The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for energy efficient removal of one liquid substance from a mixture of substances, resulting in less of the said substance in the said mixture, and providing that liquid substance for purification and usage. Among other possible embodiments, the present invention provides methods and apparatuses for extracting water from mixed matters like humid air; condensing and purifying such water for usage; and providing the end mixture with less water content; at minimal cost of energy, material and environment impact. The mixture is first extracted, purified and conditioned for more efficient next steps, then the gas mixture is compressed to allow heat to dissipate at above ambient temperature, and finally the mixture is returned to ambient pressure, allowing the liquid to condense out without cooling. When water vapor condenses into liquid, a lot of latent heat is released. Prior arts of air water extraction by refrigeration condensation cost a lot of energy to fight against latent heat release. The novel methods provided by current invention avoid such energy cost by allowing the latent heat to dissipate naturally from above ambient temperature, thus result in energy savings. The present invention is also useful in other fields of substance extraction and purifications, like in removing humidity from natural gas and oil products, or in extracting alcohol or ethanol from wine production fermentation residues, or in air conditioning. | 10-22-2015 |
