Abstract

A normal refrigerator unit (input 100 watts) condenses the humid air on the cooling coil to form ice crystals. At normal air-humidity levels a snow or ice layer of 500-1000 grams results within 24 hours. After thawing the water - in a solid state of aggregation - a quantity of drinking water of 0.5 to 1 litre results.

Description

Bezeichnung TWLF Trinkwassergewinnung aus SuSt-Designation TWLF drinking water production from SuSt

feuchtigkeit mittels Wärmepumpe Beschreibun : Stand der Technik: Trinkwassergewinnung erfolgt in Großstädten durch die ortsansässiger Wasserwerke durch die Aufbereitung des Grundwassers und durch abwässerklärung. In Wüstengegenden läßt sich durch Meerwasserentsalzung und Brunnengrabungen Trinkwasser gewinnen, ferner durch Kondensation der Luftfeuchtigkeit in abgeschlossenen Räumen. humidity by means of heat pump Description: State of the art: Drinking water is obtained in large cities by the local waterworks through the treatment of the groundwater and through wastewater treatment. In desert areas drinking water can be obtained by desalination of seawater and well digging, also through condensation of the air humidity in closed rooms.

Außerdem kann Trinkwasser dadurch gewonnen werden, daß von Nord-und Südpol Eisberge in wasserbedürftige Gegenden gebracht werden.In addition, drinking water can be obtained from the north and south South Pole icebergs are brought to areas in need of water.

Diese insgesamt sehr kostenintensiven Verfahren werden durch das im Folgenden beschriebene Verfahren ergänzt mit dem Vorteil, daß ein Liter Trinkwasser mittels einer herkömmlichen Kühlschrankwärmepumpe für ca 30 Pfennig, (berechnet auf den deutschen Raum) gewonnen werden kann. In Ländern ohne Stromversorgung lassen sich Absorberkühlschränke einsetzen, die mit Gas oder Öl oder durch Sonnenenergie energetisch versorgt werden.These processes, which are very cost-intensive overall, are made possible by the im The following procedure is supplemented with the advantage that one liter of drinking water using a conventional refrigerator heat pump for about 30 pfennigs, (calculated on the German area) can be obtained. Leave in countries without power supply use absorption refrigerators that run on gas, oil or solar energy are energetically supplied.

Ein normales Kühlschrankaggregat ( Aufnahme 100 Watt) kondensiert die Luftfeuchtigkeit an der Kühlschlange zu Eiskristallen. Innerhalb von 24 Stunden ergibt sich bei normalen Feuchtigkeitsgraden der Luft eine Schnee- bzw. Eisschicht von 500- 1000 Gramm. Nach Abtauen des - im festen Aggregatzustand befindlichen - Wassers ergibt sich eine Trinkwassermenge von 0,5 bis 1 Liter.A normal refrigerator unit (consumption 100 watts) condenses the humidity at the cooling coil to ice crystals. Within 24 hours With normal humidity levels of the air, a layer of snow or ice results from 500- 1000 grams. After defrosting the - in the solid aggregate state - Water results in an amount of drinking water of 0.5 to 1 liter.
