ABSTRACT:
A water producing apparatus for extracting water from moisture-laden ambient air including a plurality of circumferentially spaced chambers packed with an adsorbent for adsorbing moisture in the air, a driving mechanism for bringing one or more of the chambers into and out of communication with a first and second desorbing section, a mechanism for passing ambient air through the chambers not in communication with the desorbing section, whereby moisture from the ambient air is adsorbed on the adsorbent and subsequently removed from the adsorbent in each chamber as that chamber is brought into communication with the desorbing sections, a recycling duct connecting the post-desorbing section to the predesorbing section to complete a desorption circuit, a mechanism for circulating air through the circuit to remove water from the adsorbent, a mechanism for heating the air in the circuit, and a mechanism for removing water from the circuit. The ratio of the number of chambers in communication with the desorbing sections to the number of chambers receiving moisture-laden air can be varied according to the temperature and moisture content of the ambient air.
