Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a water producing device for mass-

The present invention relates to a water producing apparatus for condensing moisture in the air to produce a large quantity of water. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water producing apparatus that can not produce water when the wind speed of an existing technology is low, Low water production, and the use of electrical energy to condense moisture in the air.

According to the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) Environmental Report, one third of the world's population is suffering from extreme water shortages. In about 2025, there is a report that about two-thirds of the world's population will live in water-scarce countries.

Water is so large that it occupies two-thirds of the Earth's surface. However, seawater, which accounts for about 97.5%, is not available for people to use.

It is only 2.5% of the total amount of water that people need to live in, that is, unsweetened water, because there are many ice caps on the top of mountains like Everest and many glaciers in the North Pole. The water available is very small.

In addition, as the population grows rapidly, the consumption of water increases, and as the industry develops and people flock to the city, water is being polluted.

On the other hand, when water is scarce, the life of a person can become dangerous above all. That is, in addition to the direct cause of water shortage, it may cause a lot of human injury due to an indirect cause of water shortage, for example, diseases.

As a result, the need for water production equipment is increasing even more, because there is a limit to the amount of water that can be obtained from nature or purified.

Prior art relating to water production will be discussed. A representative example of the prior art is the device of Fig. Figure 1 is a Fog Catcher, a passive water producing apparatus that produces water from the air, especially from fog. That is, a technique for producing water by condensing moisture in the air through a net made of a material having a high thermal conductivity.

However, the prior art of FIG. 1 is not only limited in water production due to its structural limitations, but also has regional limitations that can not be used anywhere on the earth.

In recent years, water production techniques such as those shown in Figs. 2 and 3 have been proposed. In other words, after converting the wind turbine to capture the air that is holding the moisture, it uses the electric energy generated from the wind turbine to operate the compressor and the condenser to produce water by condensing the water from the collected air. Detailed description of the structure of the water production technique for Figs. 1 to 3 will be explained with reference to the detailed description of the present invention below.

However, this technology can not be used to produce water when the wind is weak, but it can be used as drinking water because the water production is limited, but it can not be said that it is fundamentally a technology to solve the water shortage problem.

US 9,140,396 B2, US 7,043,934 B2, WO 2013-026126 A1, US 8,627,673 B2, US 2012-0011865 A1, WO 2012-141034 A2, US 6,868,690 B2, US 4,080,186 A, US 2014-0083120 A1, US 2005-0103615 A1, US 2014-0138236 A1, US 7,121,101 B2 relates to a technique for making water from air using a similar concept.

They use heat exchangers and compressors to condense air, and use electricity generated by wind power or solar power to operate heat exchangers and compressors.

However, these methods also have a problem in that water production is limited and a lot of electric energy is required to condense moisture.

In particular, the above technologies are so complicated that it is a technology that can not be used easily by anyone living on the earth, and it is a technology that can not solve the water depletion problem that we are experiencing.

The techniques disclosed in US 7,251,945 B2 and US 8,118,912 B2 also relate to a technique for collecting air to produce water, in which water is collected from one chamber and water is condensed from another chamber, It is not a technique that can fundamentally solve the problem of water depletion due to the problems of the above-mentioned technology.

In the case of the technique disclosed in US 2013-0227879 A1, air is collected, and then water collected by condensing moisture by allowing the collected air to flow in a low-temperature underground is produced. This technology uses wind and solar energy as needed, and because of the limitations that it can not produce large quantities of water, this technology is not a solution to the problem of water depletion.

The techniques disclosed in US Pat. No. 8,268,030 B2 and US Pat. No. 8,221,514 relate to techniques for producing water by collecting air in multiple stages using an airplane or helicopter and condensing the collected air by thermal expansion, but this technique uses expensive airplanes Because of this, water production cost is not only high but also water production is limited.

As a result, the above-mentioned conventional technologies are used to produce water from the air in order to solve the problem of water depletion in the earth, but the production of water is limited.

In particular, the system is complicated for easy use in water-scarce countries, and the water production is limited and it is costly to manufacture. Therefore, there is a need for a new concept water production device which has not been disclosed yet .

The present invention relates to a water producing device for condensing moisture in the air to produce a large quantity of water. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water producing device that can not produce water when the wind speed of an existing technology is low, Relatively low water production, and the use of electrical energy to condense moisture in the air.

To this end, the present invention relates to a method for collecting, amplifying, and accelerating air as much as possible, and then, without using electric energy to condense moisture in the collected air and convert it into water Discloses a water harvesting / generating technique for producing a large amount of water in the air through a device for causing adiabatic expansion of collected air.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Before describing the present invention in detail, the present invention will be briefly described with reference to Figs.

FIG. 1 relates to a mist collecting device 100, 110, 130, which is an apparatus for producing water from fog. It uses nets 120, 140 to condense and collect moisture in the air through temperature differences.

However, in the case of the mist collectors 100, 110, and 130 shown in FIG. 1, since the temperature difference at which the condensation occurs is more efficient at night lower than the day temperature, there is a limit to the water production amount, Due to local limitations that are only used, there is a difficulty in solving the water depletion problem.

The technique disclosed in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a modification of the wind power generators 200 and 300 and includes an air blower 250 for collecting air fading, a condenser 240, heat exchangers 230 and 330, The compressors 270 and 320, the electric generator 220, the rotor blade 310 and the filter 350 are installed in a tower and a nacelle on the tower, , 260) from air.

However, the technologies shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are difficult to install in areas that are not subject to professional training because the wind turbine generators are more complicated and heavy, and therefore, they are expensive and have low maintenance. In particular, because of the limited production of water in the structure, it is difficult to solve the problem of water depletion.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a method for collecting, amplifying, and accelerating air as much as possible, as shown in FIG. 4, (Water Harvesting / Generating) is used to cool the air below the dew point by means of a device that makes the adiabatic expansion of the captured air without using electric energy to condense the moisture into the water. ) Method.

In particular, according to the present invention, the main product is water, and the by-product can be electricity generated by rotating the generator or through the solar cell.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an overall system for producing a large amount of water in the air according to the present invention.

5, a funnel set 400 for capturing, amplifying and accelerating a large amount of air as a basic unit for producing a large amount of water by collecting, amplifying, and accelerating ambient air in a large amount in the present invention includes funnels 410, 420, and 430, respectively.

In this embodiment, three funnels 410, 420 and 430 are disclosed, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the number of funnels. That is, if the number of the funnels 410, 420, 430 is two or more, it is sufficient.

5, air 460 in the direction opposite to the wind direction as well as air 450 in the wind direction as shown in <b> So that it can be sucked into the funnel set 400. Therefore, unlike the existing technology, it is possible to collect a larger amount of air.

Unlike the conventional method, the funnel set 400 that collects a large amount of air according to the present invention is not a structure that moves according to the direction of the wind but can collect any wind in the direction of 360 필요 which does not have to move according to the direction of the wind .

In order to explain this in detail, <c> in FIG. 5 will be described as an example. First, let's assume that the wind only blows in "A". The wind blows from the "A" position into the funnel, which is described by the "Coanda effect", in which the flow of the fluid flows along the surface of the object. The velocity of the air is getting faster because of the shape of the funnel, which decreases in cross section as it goes downward. When this increased velocity reaches the "B" position, the velocity V _B of the air at the "B" position is increased by the Bernoulli principle and the mass flow law to the velocity of the air at the "A" It is faster than V _A.

That is, V _A <V _B , and according to Bernoulli's law, the pressure P _B at the "B" position is P _A > P _B lower than the pressure P _A at the "A" position. In this case, the pressure at the "A1" position is P _A1 > P _B , so that the pressure of the air at the "A1" position is higher than the pressure of the air at the "B" It is sucked into the funnel. As described above, the area, air velocity, pressure, and air flow rate of each position in the present invention can be defined as follows in the example of <C> in FIG.

As shown here, the structure of the present invention makes it possible to collect not only the air in the wind direction but also the air on the opposite side into the funnel, so that more air can be collected and the speed of the air flowing through the funnel gradually increases It can be seen that it is faster. It can be seen that the velocity and flow rate of the air at the "D" position is the maximum.

Meanwhile, the water production apparatus according to the present invention may include an air collector 500 mounted outside the funnel set 400 as shown in FIG. 6 to collect a larger amount of air to produce a large amount of water. As shown in FIG. 7, one of the funnels 410, 420, and 430 may be configured to be used in combination with one of the air collectors 500

The air collecting apparatus 500 includes a plurality of vanes 510 for collecting the air flowing through the outside of the funnel set 400 and guiding the air flowing to the funnel set 400, (Not shown). The size of the center open hole 530 of the upper side cover 520 is the same as the size of the upper portion of the funnels 410, 420, and 430. The size of the center open hole (not shown) of the lower side cover 520 can be adjusted by changing the size of the first funnel 410 and the second funnel 420 at the location where they are seen from the side of the first funnel 410 and the second funnel 420, Size.

As shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the air collector 500 may include three or more folds (vanes) 510. At this time, the multiplier 510 need not always be composed of four or eight, but it is preferable that the multiplier 510 is composed of at least four. Of course, for convenience of fabrication, it is advantageous to form four or six equal intervals.

Since the collected air flows to the outside walls of the funnels 410, 420, and 430 in a state where the area is narrowed between the belly 510, the air collecting device 500 not only has a function of collecting more of the surrounding air, (560) speed up function.

The combination of the above-described funnels 410, 420, and 430 and the air collector 500 are <a> and <b> in FIG. Here, three funnels 410, 420, and 430 and three air collectors 500 are shown in combination. The upper air collectors 500 are mounted on the upper part of the funnel 410, 430 can be seen to be configured in a separate state, which illustrates one embodiment of a combination. Therefore, these combinations can be used in various combinations depending on the environment or the amount of water required for production.

The water production apparatus according to the present invention may further include an air inducer 600 installed at an upper portion or a lower portion of the air collector 500 as shown in FIG. 8 in order to collect even a little more air.

The air inducer 600 is intended to guide the air flowing to the upper and lower portions of the air collector 500 toward the air collector 500 when the wind is blowing. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the wind 620 is directed toward the air collector 500. The wind 620 is configured to have a shape that increases in speed as it approaches the air collector 500.

The shapes of the funnel set 400, the air collector 500, and the air induction unit 600 described above can be formed of a cycloid curve as shown in FIG. Of course, they may also be composed of different curves.

In this embodiment, the outline curve of the funnel set 400 is formed in the form of a cycloid curve as shown in FIG. 9, the outline curve of the folding line 501 of the air collector is also formed in the form of a cycloid curve, ) Are also formed in the form of a cycloid curve. As shown in FIG. 9, the cycloid curve is the "shortest descent curve" that descends the fastest when the same object descends at any given position, and the bottom of the object when it is stopped at different positions on the cycloid curve It has the characteristic of "Toutochrone" falling at the same time.

In the present invention, by adopting the outline curve of the funnel set 400, the outer curve of the air collector 500 and the outline curve of the air inducer 600 as a cycloid curve, for example, air can be circulated through the funnel set 400 (See https: // en.) When the fluid touches the outer wall of the funnel, due to the Coanda effect flowing along the surface of the object. wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloid). Similarly, air trap 500 and air inducer 600 can be amplified and accelerated as quickly as possible with minimal air resistance due to the Coanda effect.

The flow of high-speed air having such a large amount of air is collected, amplified and accelerated so as to flow into the inlet 710 of the single thermal expansion nozzle 700 having the shape as shown in FIG. 10 and flow into the neck of the single thermal expansion nozzle 700 The high-speed, large-capacity air faded with moisture while passing through the outlet 730 of the single thermal expansion nozzle 700 becomes a temperature below the dew point while being thermally expanded, so that moisture in the air can be condensed into water.

10 shows changes in temperature, pressure, and velocity of the air according to the position of the single thermal expansion nozzle 700. Referring to FIG. 10, when the air is expanded from the adiabatic state of the single thermal expansion nozzle 700, .

In the present invention, by using such a single thermal expansion nozzle 700, the temperature of the air can be lowered to below the dew point without using a heat exchanger or a condenser by using electric energy to the outside, so that the condensed water Can be produced.

Here, in order to calculate the thermal expansion, the temperature of the air before and after the thermal expansion due to the reversible adiabatic expansion according to the thermodynamic law is calculated as an example.

If the inlet temperature and volume of the air are T _i and V _i, and the outlet temperature and volume of the air are T _f and V _f , the relation is expressed as follows.

Where γ is the specific heat ratio and air can be assumed to be 1.4. When the initial air temperature T _i is 35 ° C and the expansion coefficient (V _i / V _f ) of the air volume in the single thermal expansion nozzle is 1.28, the temperature T _f at the rear end of the single thermal expansion nozzle is 6.0 ° C. The temperature is below 25 DEG C which is a dew point, and moisture in the air is converted into condensed water.

In the present invention, the thermal expansion nozzle 700 may be arranged so as to obtain the condensed water 740 as shown in FIG. 11, the condensed water 740 may be arranged horizontally as shown in <b> of FIG. 11. Alternatively, the condensed water 740 may be constructed below the ground, that is, under the foundation 760, Can be constructed.

On the other hand, as a first example of the present invention, the amount of water that can be produced assuming severe summer drought in Korea was calculated.

Here, it has assumed the Republic of Korea summer weather to a relative humidity of 70%, about 35 ℃ temperature, due to the present invention, an area of the wind receiving (which in general even if the drought is Republic of Korea summer wind is blowing) of 3.0 the speed of the wind to 600m ² m / sec. It was confirmed that the temperature of air passing through the single thermal expansion nozzle 700 was lower than the dew point.

The table below shows the temperature and relative humidity.

The amount of water in the air that turns into water by temperature enhancement = 27.7 ?? 16.1 = 11.6 g / m &lt; ³ &gt;

Thus, according to the present invention, the yield of water is 11.6 g / m ³ x 600 m ² x 3 m / sec

                                      = 20,880 g / sec.

  This is 20.88 kg / sec -> 75,168 kg / hr -> 76.168 ton / hr and the water production per day is 1,804 ton / day.

As a second example of the present invention, the production of water in the case of the driest Saharan desert on the planet is as follows.

The average relative humidity of the Saharan Desert is 25% and the average temperature is 35 ° C, where the moisture in the air is 7.92 g / m ³ . The dew point temperature is 9 DEG C, and the water content is 1.88 g / m &lt; ^{3 &} gt ;. It was confirmed that the temperature of the air passing through the single thermal expansion nozzle 700 was 6 占 폚. In the second embodiment, it is assumed that the wind receiving area is 19.625 m ² and the wind speed is 3.0 m / sec.

Therefore, the production amount of water according to the present invention is = (7.92-1.88) g / m ³ x 19.625 m ² x 3 m / sec = 355.605 g / sec. This is 1,280 kg / hr -> 1.28 Ton / hr, and the water production per day is 30.7 ton / day.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the funnel set 400, the air collector 500, and the air induction unit 600 can be configured in various combinations in order to collect, amplify and accelerate the surrounding air as much as possible. 12 and 13, respectively.

Although not shown in the drawing, it is possible to use various structures including a combination of the funnel set 400, the air collector 500, and the air induction unit 600. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the shape of the drawings.

In FIG. 13, the air blower 810 assumes the worst case and generates an electric furnace air blower 810 produced through wind power and solar power generation to produce water from the air even when the wind does not blow for a long period of time It can be applied for the purpose of producing water by sucking the air that is rotating and humid.

In the present invention, a tower 820 is installed on a ground foundation 760 so that the water production apparatus 800 according to the present invention constructed as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 can be applied to various places on the earth, the water production device 800 can be installed as shown in FIG. 6A, and the water production device 800 can be modified in various ways according to the circumstances.

In the present invention, a funnel-shaped stove 900, an air induction unit 920 provided inside the stove 900, and a solar absorption unit 910 for producing water in the air even when the wind is not blowing as shown in <b> When the sun absorbs the solar light absorbing material 900 and the solar absorbing material 900 absorbs the black gravel or the sunlight at the bottom of the stack 900 based on the material 910, The air is also hot. As a result, the hot air is lowered in density and is lifted upwards, which is caused to rise more rapidly due to the stacking effect caused by the stack 900 and the stack air induction machine 910.

The rapidly raised air sucks the surrounding air again while passing through the combination of the funnel set 400, the air trap 500 and the air inducer 600, that is, the water production device 800, And condensing the water from the air.

In the present invention, a large amount of air is collected, amplified, and accelerated to produce a large amount of water from the air through the single thermal expansion nozzle, and a by-product thereof can produce electricity through the solar power generation panel, the turbine, and the generator .

According to the present invention having the structure and function as described above, it is possible to produce water from air in a low price at a low price, as well as to overcome local limitation due to its compact structure and to use it anywhere, .

Further, according to the present invention, it is necessary to use electrical energy to operate complex machines such as compressors, condensers or heat exchangers, which can not produce water cheaply and in large quantities from the prior art, namely air Can solve problems that are difficult to use in a third world country that has not received it.

Particularly, according to the present invention, a large amount of air is collected, amplified and accelerated as much as possible, and then electric energy is used to condense moisture in the collected air to convert it into water (Water Harvesting / Generating) through a device that makes the collected air adiabatic expanding (Water Harvesting / Generating) through the simple device which has almost no maintenance, There is an effect that can be solved.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that such modifications or alterations be within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
