Combination Humidifier / Dehumidifier with Common Water Containment and Outdoor Air Intake
A humidifier/dehumidifier device is disclosed herein. The humidifier and dehumidifier both, respectively, evaporate water from and condense water into a shared (same) water storage container. The device is fitted with an air intake and at least one air outtake. In embodiments of the technology, one or more of the air intakes receives air from outdoors. One or both of an indoor and/or the outdoor intake is used to receive air based on a determination that an indoor and outdoor humidity and temperature is most efficient to achieve a desired indoor humidity or temperature.
Heat Pump-Based Water Harvesting Systems
Water harvesting systems and methods of making and using such water harvesting systems, for capturing water from surrounding air using configurations that reduce overall energy costs and improves water harvesting cycle efficiency in the water harvesting system. In particular embodiments, the water harvesting system can be configured for dehumidification-humidification of air, and a method in the water harvesting system for dehumidification-humidification to control moisture level in the air conditioned by the water harvesting system. The systems and methods use sorbent materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, to adsorb water from the air. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor can be condensed into liquid water and collected to dehumidify air conditioned by the water harvesting system. The collected liquid water can be sprayed to humidify air conditioned by the water harvesting system.
Humidifier
Disclosed herein is a humidifier including an improved structure of a water collection tank. The humidifier includes a main body, a water supply tank provided in an upper portion of the main body, a humidifying fabric arranged in an inside of the main body and disposed below the water supply tank to receive water, a fan configured to move air through the humidifying fabric, a water collection tank configured to collect water from the humidifying fabric, a pump configured to pump water from the water collection tank to the water supply tank, and a humidifier lower cover coupleable to and decoupleable from a lower end of the main body. The water collection tank includes a water collection tank top cover provided in an upper portion of the water collection tank, and a water collection tank lower cover configured to be accessible through the lower end of the main body.
Compact orientation-adjustable mister-fan apparatus
A mister-fan apparatus includes: a housing having a fan end and a reservoir end; at the fan end, a fan unit; at the reservoir end, a reservoir; a motor; a pump; an inlet conduit from the reservoir to the pump; and an outlet conduit from the pump to the fan unit, collectively configured for, through the use of the inlet and outlet conduits, pumping fluid from the reservoir to the fan unit so that the fan can output mist; a track peripherally surrounding the housing at least partway around; an attaching device having an attaching end and an extension end; a tongue having a track end, and a connection end connected to the extension end; and, within the track, a retaining slider connected to the track end; wherein the attaching end is configured for removably attaching to an external structure for supporting the apparatus. The track may include a pair of ridges, rigidly connected to the housing, that extend initially outwardly from the housing, and later toward each other but only to an extent of leaving a separation serving as a slot.
Air conditioner
An air conditioner includes: an air blower configured to take air from an inlet, and to blow the air from an outlet; a filter configured to purify the air; a first chamber and a second chamber taking the air purified by the filter; a humidification filter provided in the second chamber, and humidifying the air taken into the second chamber; and a divider opening and closing an opening that provides communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, and adjusting a volume of the air taken from the first chamber into the second chamber. The air taken from the first chamber into the second chamber and/or the air taken into the second chamber is blown from the outlet.
