During desperate time, you may need desperate measures like purchasing an atmospheric water extractor to make clean and safe water for drinking. An AWG is a device used to harvest moisture from the atmosphere in an environmental friendly way. When clean and safe water for drinking is scarce, using an AGW is an efficient way to produce it. There are some things that any individual ought to know before deciding to purchase or use an atmosphere water generator.

Since it uses the same principle as an air conditioner or refrigerator, the components are more or less the same. Some of these parts include the condenser, evaporator, compressor, a fan, pipes, and filters among others. These parts are basic and widely used in the cooling condensation type of atmosphere generators. Unlike wet desiccation process which uses chemicals, the components are different and slightly modified.

The compressor circulates the refrigerant through the condenser into the evaporator coils, which cool the surrounding air. The air condenses once the dew point is reached. A fan is there to push clean air over the coils. Moisture resulting from this process passes through capillary tubes and ultimately through the collecting lines into a storage tank. A filter is there to remove bacteria and particles present.

There are basic requirements for this whole process to work effectively. It has to do with humidity, which should be about 30% to 40% and temperatures of above 18 degrees Celsius. Altitude also plays a critical role since high altitude interferes with the whole process. These requirements are a limitation to the cooling condensation process since wet desiccation method is not affected by environmental factors.

There are different forms of AWG available in the market depending on area of use and how frequently this device is used. The available types are mostly used for domestic purposes whereas rare and complex ones are only available for industrial application. Most home owners use the simple cooling condensation type while wet desiccation type is used on large scale application.

All atmospheric generators are very expensive to acquire when new but cost may vary depending on size, and intensity of use. In order to avoid stress due to poor financial planning, seek the best way to purchase one. If you are planning to buy an AWG for your home, expect relatively cheaper prices but, it is better to seek financing if your do not have enough money.

If cost of purchasing a new one is a problem, you may consider setting one on your own at home as a do-it-yourself project. All you need is a dehumidifier, water filtration system, vinyl tubing and voltage regulator among other peripherals at six times less in cost. You may find local instructions on the Internet or have a friend who has the technical know-how to assist you.

These generators are found in all major cities in consumer electronics stores. Most retail stores are accessible physically while they also have strong online presence offering sales and delivery services on the same platform. It is ideal to do research before settling on a particular atmosphere generator as well as to get the best deal possible.
