摘要：In many countries, it is difficult to obtain water for drinking, irrigation or other purposes, and especiallyso in the arid regions and with regions or locations where there is no electricity or fuel sources. The problem of waterscarcity is also prevalent in many places around the world due to lack of rainfall. In highly humid areas such as placesclose to the sea, water can be obtained by condensing the water vapour present in the air. Solar-powered AtmosphericWater Generator is an appliance that employs dehumidification/condensing technology, that extracts water present inthe air in the form of vapour by applying Peltier effect of Thermo-Electric Cooling. The system consists of coolingelements, heat exchanger and air circulation unit. A Solar PV unit with adequate current output drives the coolingelements through a controlling circuit. This concept has promising application in this age of technology whenrenewable energy is poised to grow rapidly. Sun-To-Water and use of MOFs are latest developments in AtmosphericWater Generator sector. Experiments have shown that Solar-energy based AWG are able to produce around 24L ofwater per day without the use of moving parts, no chlorofluorocarbons use and no consumption of electricity. Thispaper presents an overview of the AWG technologies and in particular Solar based AWG using Peltier effect.
