Definitions
- the present invention relates to two methods and apparatus for collecting water, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for collecting water from air.
- Air extraction is mainly for outdoor natural air, and the water vapor in the air is converted into more liquid water as much as possible. Taking water from the air is an important way to solve the problem of water shortage.
- Cooling water Cool the humid air to below the dew point and condense out.
- the method generally uses a compressor to pressurize the refrigerant, and transfers the heat released by the refrigerant to the environment through the condenser: the refrigerant is rapidly depressurized by the evaporator to cool down, the temperature of the cold solidification is lowered by the heat exchange pipe, and then the cold solidification is performed. Cool the humid air.
- the method is greatly affected by factors such as temperature, humidity and air pressure of the air.
- the efficiency is high, and the water intake is large, but when the air moisture content is small, the air dew point temperature decreases, and the water is taken.
- the efficiency has dropped dramatically and it is not even possible to take water.
- the temperature of the cold solidification of the condenser must be above the freezing point of water (the cold solidification temperature is lower than the freezing point, the cold water will be condensed on the cold solidification)
- the ambient air temperature is low, the air and the condensation surface
- the temperature difference is small, the water in the air; the gas cannot release the latent heat quickly (phase change is just right), and the existing cooling water intake method can not be used in the low temperature environment.
- Adsorption and water extraction The moisture in the air is absorbed by a solid or liquid desiccant having a hygroscopic property, and then desorbed by heating to condense water vapor to obtain fresh water. This type of method can extract water from the air with a small amount of moisture. However, the heating and desorption process consumes a large amount of energy, the process is discontinuous, and the air moisture content is small, and the efficiency is not high.

- the critical environmental parameter may be a value of an environmental factor that affects the condensation efficiency of water, such as temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, atmospheric pressure, or relative humidity of ambient air, or a coefficient that can be calculated from these values (can be employed)
- the specific size of the value can be adjusted by the user according to the relationship between various factors and the condensed water efficiency.
- the temperature, air pressure, vapor pressure and relative humidity are higher, the water is easier to liquefy, and the cold solidification can directly collect air from the environment to condense the liquid water.
- the ambient temperature, the air pressure, the vapor pressure, the relative humidity and the like are lower, so that the air after the cold surface is collected and condensed is processed, because the temperature difference between the temperature of the gas and the cold solidification of the condenser is large, the gas is The heat can be released quickly and in large quantities, so that the water vapor in the air has sufficient thermodynamic power to liquefy, and finally the efficiency of the condensed water is effectively improved.
- the saturated vapor pressure of the cold air is large, and the moisture of the surrounding cold air is more easily enriched in the hot air, thereby increasing the absolute humidity (water content) in the hot air, further improving the efficiency of water liquefaction.
- hot air can be pressed and pressed
- the condenser is connected to the condenser connected to the compressor, and the two heaters may be separately provided to heat the air at the inlet of the condenser. Collecting air from the condenser can make full use of the residual heat of the compressor and reduce the energy consumption of the water production process. However, in a low temperature environment, the temperature of the air cannot be sufficiently increased by the pressure condenser alone, and the air can be heated separately by using the two heating devices.

Cool down to the dew point and collect the liquid water from the cold solidification.
- the present invention determines whether air should be recovered from the condenser into the cold coagulation enthalpy. If the same reference is made to various environmental factors, it must also be given Each environmental factor is assigned a different weight coefficient (the greater the weight factor of the environmental factor with greater water condensation efficiency), by comparing the magnitude of each numerical weight coefficient, it is finally decided whether high temperature air should be recovered from the condenser for condensation.
- the specific value of the weight coefficient can be set according to the ratio of the water condensation amount and the correlation coefficient of the condensation efficiency according to various environmental factors (the ratio of the correlation coefficient of each factor is directly used as the weight coefficient). This will effectively improve the accuracy of the judgment results and ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

- the present invention may also preset a second weight coefficient and directly compare the second weight coefficient with the preset value. It is judged whether or not the heated air should be recovered from the condenser for condensation.

[0003] [0003]从空气中制取淡水, 主要有两种方法 (详见论文"空气取水技术的研究 进展", 《化工进展》 , 2011年第 30卷第 8期 P1664〜 1669)1、 冷却取水: 冷 却湿空气, 使其达到露点温度以下, 凝结出水。 该方法一般采用压缩机对冷媒 进行加压, 并通过冷凝器将冷媒释放的热量转移到环境中: 冷媒经蒸发器急速 降压而降温, 经换热管道降低冷凝固的温度, 进而在冷凝固上冷却湿空气。 该 方法受空气的温度、 湿度、 气压等因素影响较大, 例如在空气含湿量大的情况 下效率高, 取水量大, 但当空气含湿量小吋, 随着空气露点温度降低, 取水效 率急剧下降, 甚至无法取水。 又例如由于冷凝器其冷凝固的温度必须在水的凝 固点之上 (冷凝固温度低于凝固点, 冷 J其是在冷凝固上的水将凝结) , 当环境 空气温度较低, 空气与冷凝面的温差较小, 空气中的水; 气无法快速释放出潜 热 (相变恰) 丽液化, 导致现有的冷却取水方法同样无法再低温环境下使用。
[0004] [0004] 2、 吸附取水: 利用吸湿性强的固体或液体干燥剂吸收空气中的水分, 再加热解吸, 凝结水蒸气得到淡水。 这类方法可以从含湿量很小的空气中将水 分吸取出来, 然而, 其加热解吸过程耗能大, 过程不连续, 且在空气含湿量小 吋, 效率也不高。
[0005] [0005]因此, 亟需一种能够在干燥、 低温环境中高效集水的空气集水方法和装 置。
技术问题
[0006] [0006]寻求从空气中取水的有效途径。
问题的解决方案
技术解决方案
[0007] 本发明的目的通过以下技术方案实现:
[0008] 一种从空气中收集水的方法, 包括如下步骤:
[0009] S1.预设一临界环境参数:
[0010] S2.采集实吋环境参数, 并将其与所述临界环境参数进行对比:
[0011] S3.提供一用于冷凝空气的冷凝固: 当实吋环境参数高于所述临界环境参数, 直接从环境中采集空气, 使空气与冷凝固接触并降温至露点, 收集冷凝固上的 液态水: 当实吋环境参数低于所述临界环境参数, 从压缩机的用于冷凝冷媒的 冷凝器处收集流经冷凝器的空气或 /和采用加热装置加热后的空气, 再使空气 与冷凝固接触并降温至露点, 收集冷凝固上的液态水。
[0012] [0008]临界环境参数可以是环境空气的温度、 湿度、 蒸气压、 大气压或相对湿 度等对水的冷凝效率有影响的环境因素的数值或由这些数值可以计算出的系数 (可采用现有技术计算) , 其数值具体的大小可以根据各因素与冷凝水效率的 关系由用户自行调整。 当温度、 气压、 蒸气压、 相对湿度较高吋, 水较容易液 化, 冷凝固可以直接从环境中采集空气冷凝出液态水。 本发明特别在环境温度 、 气压、 蒸气压、 相对湿度等参数较低吋, 使冷 j疑面采集加热后的空气进行冷 凝处理, 由于气体的温度与冷凝器冷凝固的温差较大, 气体的热量可以快速、 大量地释放, 使空气中的水蒸气有足够的热力学动力进行液化, 最终有效提高 冷凝水的效率。 同吋, 冷空气其饱和蒸气压较大, 周围冷空气的水分更容易被 富集到热空气中, 进而提高热空气中的绝对湿度 (含水量) , 进一步提高水液 化的效率。 本发明中, 热空气可以从与压
[0013] 缩机连接的冷凝器处采集, 也可以单独设置二加热机加热冷凝器进气口处的空 气。 从冷凝器处采集空气, 可充分利用压缩机的余热, 降低制水过程的能耗。 但对于气温较低的环境, 仅靠压冷凝器无法充分提高空气的温度, 此吋可利用 二加热装置单独或辅助加热空气。 力口热装置可选用任意一种现有技术实现, 如设置在进气口处的电热丝、 电热陶瓷片等。 相对于提高压力、 采用吸水剂富 集水分等手段, 本发明回收压缩机高温空气进行冷凝的方式其能耗更低、 效果
更佳, 尤其适用于在干燥、 低温的环境下从空气中集水。 实吋环境参数可以采 用相关的传感器实现。 所述冷凝器和压缩机可选用任意一种现有技术实现, 如 申请号为 201010226267.4的中国实用新型专利所记载的压缩机和冷凝器。 冷凝固 则可选用任意一种利用冷媒冷凝湿空气的现有技术实现, 如申请号为 201510100 620.7的中国发明专利中的 "冷凝区"或公失日常识中的冷凝管。 还包括必要的蒸 发器、 风机等结构, 不在赘述。
[0014] [0009]进一步的, 所述临界环境参数为空气温度数值、 气压值、 水蒸气压值、 空气相对湿度值或空气绝对湿度值中的至少二种: 所述实吋环境参数为与所述 临界环境参数种类相同的实吋环境参数。
[0015] [0010]优边的, 所述 I临界环境参数为空气温度值: 所述实吋环境参数为环境 的空气温度。
[0016] [0011]经过测试, 空气的温度对水汽冷凝的效率影响最高, 因此本发明的临界 环境参数可以只选定空气温度值: s2具体可以为采集环境的空气温度, 与预设 的临界环境参数进行对比。
[0017] [0012]更进一步的, 所述临界环境参数为根据空气温度数值、 气压值、 水蒸气 压值、 空气相对湿度值或空气绝对湿度值中的至少一种数值所获得的系数: 所 述实吋环境参数为环境中与所述临界环境参数同类的系数。
[0018] [0013]除了对直接的空气温度数值、 气压值、 水蒸气压值、 空气相对湿度值或 空气绝对湿度值等因素的数值进行对比之外, 本发明还可以对由上述因素数值 间接获得的数值 (系数) 进行对比。
[0019] [0014]更进一步的, 所述临界环境参数为空气温度数值、 气压值、 水蒸气压值 、 空气相对湿度值或空气绝对湿度值中的多种: 还包括根据实吋环境参数与冷 凝水量的相关性大小, 赋予其相应的、 呈正相关的权重系数: 所述步骤 S3中, 还包括将高于临界环境参数的实吋环境参数其权重系数相加获得第一权重系数 和、 将低于临界环境参数的实吋环境参数其权重系数相加获得第二权重系数和 : 当第二权重系数和高于第二权重系数和, 直接从环境中采集空气, 使空气与 冷凝面接触并降温至豆豆点, 收集冷凝面上的液态水: 当第一权重系数和低于 第二权重系数和, 从冷 j疑器处收集流经冷凝器的空气, 使空气与冷凝面接触并
降温至露点, 收集冷凝固上的液态水。
[0020] [0015]由于各种环境因素对水的冷凝效率影响强度并不一致, 本发明在判断是 否应该从冷凝器中回收空气进入冷凝固吋, 如果同吋参考多种环境因素, 还必 须给每种环境因素分配不同的权重系数 (对水冷凝效率越大的环境因素其权重 系数越大) , 通过对比各个数值权重系数的大小, 最终决定是否应当从冷凝器 中回收高温空气进行冷凝。 权重系数的具体数值, 可以根据各环境因素对水的 冷凝量、 冷凝效率的相关系数的比例进行设定 (以各因素的相关系数的比直接 作为权重系数) 。 这样便可有效提高判断结果的准确卒, 确保设备可以正常运 行。
[0021] [0016]作为可边的方案, 所述临界环境参数为空气温度数值、 气压值、 水蒸气 压值、 空气相对湿度值或空气绝对湿度值中的多种: 还包括根据实吋环境参数 与冷凝水量的相关性大小, 赋予其相应的、 呈正相关的权重系数: 所述步骤 S3 中, 还包括预设一第二权重系数和以及将高于临界环境参数的实吋环境参数其 权重系数相加获得第一权重系数和: 当第一权重系数和高于第二权重系数和, 直接从环境中采集空气, 使空气与冷凝固接触并降温至露点, 收集冷凝固上的 液态水: 当第一权重系数和低于第二权重系数和, 冷凝器从冷凝器处收集流经 冷凝器的空气, 使空气与冷凝固接触并降温至露点, 收集冷凝固上的液态水。
[0022] [0017]除了将处于临界环境参数上下两侧的权重系数和进行对比, 本发明还可 以预设一第二权重系数和, 直接将第二权重系数和与预设的数值进行对比, 判 断是否应当从冷凝器处回收加热的空气进行冷凝。
[0023] [0018]可选择的, 所述步骤 s3还包括当实吋环境参数低于所述临界环境参数, 增加冷凝面与空气的接触面积和 /或提高空气流进冷凝固的速度。
[0024] [0019]增加冷凝固与空气的接触面积或提高空气流经冷凝固的速度, 也可以有 效提高水的冷凝速度。 具体而言, 可选用可变面积的冷凝固, 如折叠式、 滑动 式的冷凝面, 或者在冷凝面表面假装二可滑动的挡板 (任意一种用于遮挡空气 的现有技术的滑动挡板即可) 。
