Validation project "Extracting drinking water from the air - LUWAS"

The aim of the project is to develop a functional prototype that is able to condense water from the air using vortex cooling

Research focus

• Development of an efficient vortex cooler for fast and energy-efficient cooling of air.
• Design of an optimised condenser that enables maximum water yield under given climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure).
• Determination of the optimum condensation scheme to maximise water recovery.

Project duration
