Abstract
Water is one of the most important substance on the earth. All plants, animals and human beings
must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth apart from drinking
it to survive people have many other uses of water. Now a days on the world water scarcity is lack of
sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water uses with in these region. It already
affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every
year.

In our project to overcome the water scarcity we are going to design the Atmospheric Water Gen-
erator. A Atmospheric Water Generator is structure (or) device that collects water by promoting the
condensation of moisture from the air. This device which is exposed to the atmosphere consists of a
turbine and fan setup which is used to pump humid air in to the device continuously with out using
electricity. Once the air temperature falls below its condensation temperature its condenses as a water
droplet and stored in the chamber and water collected by using pump. Atmospheric Water Generator
depends on the variable parameters like Temperature and Relative Humidity etc. and the theoretical
analysis of quantity of water can extract from atmosphere.

Key Words: Water scarcity, Waterseer, Condensation, Atmosphere, Temperature.

Introduction

1.1 Introduction
The lack of safe drinking water and sanitation is the single largest cause of illness in the world
today. According to the May 2007 issue of Vanity Fair, Green Issue edition, almost one out
of every three people on the planet currently lacks reliable access to fresh water. With ever-
increasing water pollution and global warming, the conventional sources of pure water are fast
depleting and increasingly proving inadequate to feed the needs of the vast global population.
Also due to their inherently fixed nature, the water generated from traditional sources such as
rivers, lakes and ground need to be transported over long distances before final consumption.
This increases costs and requires immense amounts of energy.

In the ambient air water is dissolved depending on temperature and relative humidity.
Water- loaded air is a worldwide existing resource which has an inexhaustible potential. Tech-
nical possibilities for water trapping from air are already known from climate technology. A
process has been developed, in which the humidity contained in the atmospheric air is bound
by adsorbents and is later extracted as drinking water by means of desorption and condensa-
tion. This extractor of water form atmospheric moisture what we have undertaken is the good
extractor, it is very easy to handle and carry it will produce fresh water from the air. The
water produced is can be drink with safe.

Water is one of the most important substance on the earth. All plants, animals and human
beings must have water to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth apart
from drinking it to survive people have many other uses of water. Now a days on the world

1
water scarcity is lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water uses
with in these region. It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around
the world at least one month out of every year. To overcome the water scarcity we developed
an equipment called Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG).

1.2 Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)


An atmospheric water generator (AWG) is a device that extracts water from humid ambient
air. Water vapor in the air can be extracted by condensation - cooling the air below its dew
point. AWGs are useful where pure drinking water is difficult or impossible to obtain, because
there is almost always a small amount of water in the air that can be extracted. The primary
technique used for condensation.

The extraction of atmospheric water can require a significant input of energy. Some AWG
methods are completely passive, relying on natural temperature differences, and requiring no
external energy source. Many atmospheric water generators operate in a manner very similar
to that of a dehumidifier and causing water to condense. The rate of water production depends
on the ambient temperature, humidity, the volume of air passing to the chamber.

Atmospheric water generators extract water from the surrounding air which is free from
bacteria. The resulting water is clean and free of chemicals and other hazards. In areas where
water is scarce or polluted, atmospheric water generators are reliable sources of clean, safe wa-
ter. For domestic applications, they can reduce or eliminate the need for bottled drinking water.

In our project we deal with the fabrication of Atmospheric Water Generator and experi-
mentation of this equipment in this Nandyal region.

In Chapter-2 it deals with literature review i.e in this the different techniques to generate
the water from atmosphere and the results of that techniques are explained

In Chapter-3 the fabrication of the Atmospheric Water Generator, materials used for At-
mospheric Water Generator , technique used for fabrication working of this Atmospheric Water
Generator and experimentation of AWG in Nandyal region are explained with results.

In Chapter-4 the quality test of water is explained that is experimental tests of environmen-
tal engineering like pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity , Total Dissolved Solids, Chlorine
Concentration and NItrates of the collected water from Atmospheric Water Generator are con-
ducted and as per drinking water standards the results are discussed.

In Chapter-5 the theoretical estimation of quantity of water for Nandyal region for twelve
month of year 2018 are calculated by using formulas and result analysis are explained in detail.

In Chapter -6 the Conclusions of AWG is explined.

Literature Review

WaterSeer extends the lessons learned from the experiments listed below accelerating the con-
densate process through an innovative structure that maximizes the temperature difference
between atmospheric temperature and the surface of the condenser.

S. Hanish Anand et.al. (2018)

Did on ” Design and Fabrication of Waterseer”. The waterseer is a centralized system that
extracts the water from the atmospheric air through the natural condensation occurring due
to the natural cooling of soil under the ground. with the waterseer system we can provide the
water around the arid regions of the world. This can provide drinking water for a society which
lacks available of water. The waterseer is a best solution to meet out the need of water in the
world.

Girja Sharan et.al. (2011)

Under funding from Gujarat Energy development Agency, Baroda and World Bank conducted
atmospheric humidity yield from passive condensers in a coastal arid Area (Kutch, India). He
derived the following conclusions based on three month observations. Passive condensers ex-
tracted significant amounts of water from the air at night in arid regions.

• Passive condensers made of polyethylene mixed with titanium oxide and barium sul-
phate(PETB) gives much higher yield - nearly 2.5 times- than the galvanized iron and
aluminum surfaces under similar ambient conditions

4
• PETB condenser can extract moisture from air with lower humidity than the metal con-
densers alone. High humidity, calm winds, clear sky and relatively warm ambient appear
to result in higher condensation yields.

Proof-of-concept field tests in India extracted an average of 1.75 litres of water per day using
a 9 Sq. Meter surface. A special coating was applied to the condensing surface. (BaSo4)
Super-hydrophobic coatings were considered but have not been tested and the daily yeild with
different relative humidity is shown in below figure .

Under the assumptions of Nusselts theory, Hassan and Jakob conducted analytical analysis on
the laminar film condensation of saturated vapours on the outside of inclined circular cylinders.
They used experimental results of the heat transfer coefficient for the concurrent condensation
of steam inside an inclined tube to compare with their analytical results. The analytical results
were 28-100 % lower than the experimental results due to the rippling of the condensate film,
which is not evaluated in their model. Besides this, developed an analytical solution which
includes surface tension effects to obtain the local film thickness on the outside of an inclined
elliptical tube using Nusselt-type condensation.

Professor H. P Roy

In the coastal areas the relative humidity is quite high (around 70-80 %). So, the air in coastal
areas can be used to meet the water needs of people by using a dehumidifier unit. Further the
solar insolation is quite high in these areas round the year. This can be used to provide necessary
power to the dehumidifier unit. Thus drinking water can be obtained from the atmosphere by
harnessing solar energy. Such a device is called Atmospheric Water Generator.

Anbarasu and Pavithra (et.al. 2011)

The water generator, made from air-conditioning and dehumidifier parts, can generate enough
amount of water to meet the drinking water requirements of a regular household. It also
addresses the need for safe drinking water in remote areas and responds to the impending
scarcity of potable water in certain areas due to the effects of global warming and natural
disasters. It can also replace or supplement the currently available water devices in the market
to reach the more remote areas.

A.Bharath and K.Bhargav

Atmosphere contains large amount of water in the form of vapour, moisture etc. Within those
amounts almost 30 % of water is wasted. This amount of water can be used by implementing
a device like Atmospheric Water Generator. This device is capable of converting atmospheric
moisture directly into usable and even drinking water. The device uses the principle of latent
heat to convert water vapour molecules into water droplets using Peltier plates that are pow-
ered by solar energy. The goal is to obtain that specific temperature (dew point temperature)
practically or experimentally to condense water with the help of some electronics devices. It
consists of a thermoelectric peltier (TEC) couple, which is used to create the environment of
water condensing temperature or dew point, indeed conventional compressor and evaporator
system could also be used to condense water by simply exchanging the latent heat of coolant
inside the evaporator. The condensed water will be collected to use for drinking purpose and
various other uses.

The atmospheric water generator used to generate water from the vapor has been optimized
to work at relatively lower humidity levels. CFD analysis was carried out to optimize the design
by changing the number of peltiers and if relative humidity is nearer to 45 % then the device
will function well and it will start condensing more amount of water

3.2 Parts of Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)

3.2.1 Wind Turbine

Wind turbine is connected to shaft arranged vertically. One advantage of this arrangement is
that the turbine does not need to be pointed into the wind to be effective, which is an advantage
on a site where the wind direction is highly variable. It is also an advantage when the turbine
is integrated into a building because it is inherently less steerable. A vertical axis wind turbine
has its axis perpendicular to the wind streamlines and vertical to the ground. A more general
term that includes this option is ”transverse axis wind turbine” or ”cross-flow wind turbine.”

The working of the wind turbine depends on the wind velocity. The materials used for
plastic, Thick paper type. In our project the dimensions of wind turbine in AWG is assumed
and some models are developed and connected to the shaft. The different models are shown in
figure. The final dimensions of the wind turbine of AWG is decided by practical experiments
made by prepared models.

Theoretical Estimation Of Quantity Of


Water In Nandyal Region

5.1 Introduction
Nandyal is situated in Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh, which is surrounded by districts
of both Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It is bordered by the state of Mahabub Nagar in its
north, Anantapur in its south, Praksam in its East and Bellary, a district in Karnataka in its
west.

It is surrounded by Nallamala Ranges, which is probably the largest stretch of undisturbed


forest in South India apart from the Western Ghats, in the east and Kundu River flowing to
its west, Nandyal is located at 78.480 E and 15.480 N on the southern part of India. It has
an average elevation of 203 meters (666 feet). The region is densely forested and rich in water
resources owning many tanks and reservoirs. Forest to the south of Nandyal has been mined
for granite. Its richness in water resources leads to an equitable climate throughout the year.

5.1.1 Climate of Nandyal

Nandyal is known to have tropical weather with three main seasons summer, winter and the
monsoon. The annual average temperature stands at 28.40 C and annual rainfall stands at 710
mm in the region. The summers are extremely hot and unpleasant. The traveler should avoid
visiting Nandyal during the summer. One can visit during winters which are relatively cooler.
Anyone travelling during the monsoon season can expect heavy rainfall. Nandyal experiences

30
more rainfall than other parts of Andhra Pradesh.

Summer

Summer in Nandyal is quiet hot as heat waves are pretty common. The summer months are
from March to May and sometimes extend till June. The temperature ranges from a minimum
of300 C to maximum of 400 C Humidity is very high and can go up to 75 %. The warmest
month of the year is May with an average temperature of 33.80 C. People who are traveling
form places with milder temperature are advised to avoid the summer months.

Monsoon

Monsoon in Nandyal starts from July and goes on till September. During these months heavy
rains can be expected as Nandyal gets more rain than the other parts of the state. The driest
month is January with 0 mm rainfall and the most precipitation falls in July, with an average
of 147 mm. If travelers are planning to visit in this season, they should be well prepared for
the rain.

Winter

This is definitely the best time of the year to visit Nandyal as temperature is moderate after
the end of the monsoon season. The months from December to February constitute the winter
season. The temperature varies between a minimum of 200 C to a maximum of 300 C. The
coldest month of the year is December with an average temperature of 23.60 C.

5.2 Basic Definitions

5.2.1 Relative Humidity

Relative Humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the equilibrium vapour
pressure of water at the same temperature.

Pw
RH = ∗ 100 (5.1)
Ps

31
Thus from saturation pressure (Ps) and relative humidity (RH) data partial pressure of water
(Pw) can be obtained as
RH
Pw = ∗ Ps (5.2)
100

5.2.2 Humidity Ratio

Humidity Ratio gives the volume of water (in m3) present in 1m3 of air. Humidity ratio can
also be expressed in terms of partial pressure of water (Pw) as

Pw
HumidityRatio = 0.622 ∗ (5.3)
Pa − Pw
(Where Pa is the atmospheric pressure i.e. Pa=1.0120 bar)
Humidity ratio gives the amount of water (in m3) present in 1m3 of air. Also we know
that 1m3 is equal to 1000 litres. Thus multiplying humidity ratio by 1000 gives the maximum
amount of water (in litres) that is present in 1m3 of air.

5.2.3 Saturation Pressure

Saturation Pressure (Ps) is the pressure of a vapour which is in equilibrium with its liquid
(as steam with water) i.e. the maximum pressure possible by water vapour at a given tem-
perature. The saturation pressure of water at different atmospheric temperature is obtained
from the commercially available steam tables. Air is a mixture of both air molecules and water
molecules. Partial Pressure of water (Pw) is the pressure of water vapour present in a mixture
of air and water vapour.

5.2.4 Dewpoint Temperature

Dew-point temperature (Tdp) is the temperature at which humidity in the air starts condensing
at the same rate at which it is evaporating at a given constant barometric pressure.

100 − RH
Td = T − (5.4)

32
( Where Td = Dew point Temperature, T = Temperature, RH = Relative Humidity )
Magnus Formula for Dew point Temperature:

cγ(T ∗ RH)
T dp = (5.5)
b − γ(T ∗ RH)

( Where b = 17.67, c = 243.50 C )

5.2.5 Dry-bulb temperature

Dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely ex-
posed to the air but shielded from radiation and moisture. DBT is the temperature that is
usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature.

5.3 Theoretical Analysis OF Quantity Of Water In Nandyal


Region For Year 2018
The quantity of water which can extract from atmosphere is calculated theoretically for the
whole year of 2018 for climatic conditions of nandyal region and the required data i.e. (tem-
perature and relative humidity ) for theoretical calculations is collected from the World Online
Weather.

The theoretical analysis for the quantity of water can generate from atmosphere is done for
the condensation of 1 m3 of air .

5.4 Sample Calculations


(For atmospheric temperature 240 C and relative humidity 36 %)
Saturation Pressure of water vapour (Pw) at 240 C is obtained from steam table as 0.0298 bar.

Quantity of Water (or) Amount of Water

The quantity of water from January 2018 to December 2018 are estimated by multiplying the
HumidityRatio ∗ 1000 for the all days of year 2018 and plotted the graphs.

Quantity of Water = Humidity Ratio ∗ 1000


Quantity of Water = 0.006664339 ∗ 1000 = 6.666 litres.
