Inventor(s) include Dr. Timmidi Naagadurga; Dr. V. Dhana Raju; Dr. M. B. S. Sreekara Reddy; Mr. R. Anjaneyulu Naik; Dr. Katuru Bala Prasad; Drrajesh Babu; Dr B Sreenivasa Raju; and Mrs. T. Sumalatha.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a solar powered atmospheric water generator (AWG) designed to produce potable water from atmospheric air by utilizing renewable solar energy and a vapor compression refrigeration cycle. The system operates by drawing humid ambient air through a fan and directing it over a cooled evaporator coil. The refrigeration cycle consisting of a compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator lowers the temperature of the air below its dew point, causing the moisture present in the air to condense into liquid water. The condensed water is collected and directed to a storage tank where it undergoes filtration and purification through a multi-stage water treatment system to ensure safe drinking quality. Solar photovoltaic panels are used as the primary energy source to power the compressor, fan, pump, and control units, enabling off-grid operation and reducing dependence on conventional electricity. The proposed invention provides an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable solution for producing potable water from atmospheric humidity, particularly suitable for water-scarce regions, remote locations, disaster relief operations, and rural communities."
