Abstract: The present invention relates to a Low-Voltage Electro-Assisted Smart Dehumidification System for agricultural storage environments. The system comprises an airflow chamber, a moisture nucleation structure, an electrostatic collector assembly, a monitoring and control unit, a water collection section, and a low-voltage power supply. Humid air is directed through a nucleation region where moisture particles begin to aggregate before entering an electrostatic collection zone containing conductive plates arranged in alternating polarity. The generated electric field promotes droplet formation and facilitates attraction of moisture toward collector surfaces. The accumulated water is subsequently drained into a collection reservoir while dehumidified air exits the chamber. Environmental sensors continuously monitor humidity and temperature conditions and communicate with a microcontroller-based control unit for operational regulation. The system operates using low- voltage direct current power and is compatible with renewable energy sources including solar-powered installations. The invention provides an energy-efficient solution for humidity reduction, atmospheric moisture recovery, and protection of humidity-sensitive agricultural commodities.
