Hydraulic Units for Obtaining Fresh Water from Atmospheric Air Using the Energy of Sea Waves

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A method of obtaining fresh drinking water from humid atmospheric air is substantiated theoretically. The method is based on the conversion of the sea-wave energy into the energy of compressed humid atmospheric air. Air compression increases the dew point and causes precipitation of moisture from the air in a condenser cooled by sea water.
