| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to develop a sustainable and energy-efficient device capable of extracting moisture from the air to produce potable water. The system's design incorporated a thermoelectric cooling module exploiting the Peltier effect, which creates a temperature differential to condense water vapor from the ambient air. The report outlines the design process, component selection, and construction of the AWG prototype. Experimental results and data analysis are presented to evaluate the system's efficiency, water production rate, and energy consumption. The report concludes with recommendations for optimization and potential applications of the Peltier-based AWG technology in water-scarce regions or off-grid environments.
Therefore the device designed in this study is known as the Atmospheric Water Generator | en_US |
