How A.W.G. Tech Works

Atmospheric Water Generator technology depends on two things for water production. The combination of the level of relative humidity and the ambient air temperature are the two most important factors used to determine how much water from the air will be produced on a daily basis. The system will harvest the water from air by using fans to blow pre-filtered air over coils. This lowers the air temperature to its dew point and the condensing of the of water occurs for collection of condensated water in the internal collection tank . Advanced water filtration systems, and water purification methods using a combination of UV light, ozonation, and multi-step carbon filtration makes the water extremely clean, purified and fit for human and animal consumption. The rate at which the A.W.G. system will produce water is solely based on relative humidity and the ambient (surrounding) air temperature.


Most systems require a relative humidity of around 60% to 70 % for the unit to achieve optimal performance. In environments where the humidit (RH) is lower than 60% to 70%, the system will still harvest water from the air, but not as quickly and not at a level consistent with the systems designed rated output. However, systems that are located in environments where the humidity level is higher can experience even higher levels of production than the rated capacity. Systems that are combined with air conditioning can also produce slightly higher levels of water production while acting as air purification, de-humidification, filtration, and air-conditioning systems since there are very similiar technologies involved between these two functions.
Ambient air temperature also plays a key factor in water production. On average a system will require a temperature of 65 degrees Farenheit or greater to achieve its rated output. In lower temperature environments the system will still produce water but not at the rated production output that is achieved at higher temperatures.

Atmospheric water generators like all other technologies is evolving and working diligently through research and development to improve upon the technology to achieve greater efficiency in water production, energy usage, over all applications. There is no doubt as mankinds need for fresh water increases, as governments and corporations begin to take control and regulate water supplies that the atmospheric water generator is destined to improve in functionality and effectiveness, and become an integral part of supplying clean drinking water to the masses while also cleaning our air of pollution and other harmful particulates as it harvests water from the air!


How The Technology Works!


During air-to-water extraction, water is taken from naturally present moisture in the air, treated with UV technology and ozone, and circulated continually through the proprietary Filtration Cartridge (FC) to attain its purest state.

Engineered with the most effective proprietary membrane, ozone, and ultraviolet disinfection technologies, International Water From Air machines are optimized to remove a wide range of contaminants, including chemicals, odors, sediment and other particulate matter.

How The Technology Works
1. Ambient air is pulled through a patented antibacterial filter to remove airborne particles and contaminants. With less moisture in the air, your air-conditioning electrical consumption is lowered as less energy is used to cool the environment.

2-4. Vapor in the air is condensed in a collection tray and disinfected with UV light. The resulting water then passes through the proprietary FC to remove organics, odors and dissolved impurities. Most of the fine water born contaminants including bacteria, viruses, parasites and other disease-causing agents are removed when the water is sent through Ultrafiltration membranes. The system also contains granulated activated carbons to remove total organic carbons, foul tastes, odors and color. UV disinfection occurs for a second time.

5. As a final safeguard measure, water is disinfected with UV light and ozone in the storage tank to ensure the removal of bacteria and viruses before it is pumped into the hot and cold tank, ready for dispensing.

6. Cold Water Dispenser

7. Heater

8. Hot Water Dispenser

9. If not consumed, stored water in the cold tank is re-circulated through the FC and UV light to retain its optimum

puity and freshness.
