Water Production System by Condensation

Abstract

The present invention according to at least one aspect describes the production of water by condensation of air humidity using a lower than ambient temperature cooling system to collect water into a suitable reservoir. A machine cools stainless steel tubing with use of the glycol cooling media at 5° C. flowing inside the tube. Outside of the stainless steel tube, fans create differences in temperatures so that the humidity can condensate and turn into water, which then flows into a reservoir at the bottom of building. Minerals can be added or naturally produced by having the water flow in a lake or other reservoir and can again re filter or use reverse osmosis for drinking purpose. A system of compressors can be used for cooling the glycol inside the tube. The electricity used by these compressors is provided by either grid electricity or by renewable resources.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of production of water from the environment, comprising:
 providing a structure for elevating a number of elongated tubes;   providing a reservoir at the end of the tubes to catch water flowing through said tubes;   cooling the tubes;   blowing air across the tubes;   generating water in the form of condensate in the tubes from the humidity in the air surrounding the tubes.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the structure is a building housing the tubes and wherein the tubes are at least 100 meters long. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the tubes are cooled by a refrigerant to less than 5° C. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the tubes are cooled by a glycol to less than 5° C. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the tubes are 316 stainless steel tubes. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the tubes are at least 100 meters in length. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the tubes are at least 200 meters in length. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wherein the reservoir is a natural body of water. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , including adding minerals to the water in the reservoir by reverse osmosis to create potable water. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , including cooling the glycol by compressors energized by renewable energy sources. 
     
     
         11 . A method of production of water from the environment, comprising:
 providing a housing for retaining a number of elongated tubes with a first portion of the tubes higher than a second portion of the tubes;   cooling the tubes to less than 5° C.;   generating an air flow across the tubes to create condensate in the tubes from the environment surrounding the tubes;   providing a reservoir at the second portion of the tubes to catch generated condensate flowing through said tubes.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the wherein the tubes are cooled by a glycol to less than 5° C.
