Sept. 6, 2004: Munters Dehumidification System Generates Drinking Water
SELMA, Texas - With pollution, irrigation practices, and overdevelopment impacting worldwide water supplies, Munters is offering its new humidity control H2O LiquidAire system, which captures water during the dehumidification process and purifies it into drinking water.
In operation, outside air passes through an efficient air filter, which removes dust, pollen, mold spores, and other airborne particles, says the company. The moisture is condensed from the outside air and collected in an ultraviolet-protected chamber. The condensate water is stored in a holding tank, which is continuously ozonated to prohibit bacterial growth. As needed, water is drawn from the tank, filtered through a VOC carbon filter, and passed through an ultraviolet sanitation light. The water is now purified for drinking, and the cooled dry air is sent indoors to create a comfortable indoor environment, the company says.
