Petzler, Caitlin (2024) Investigating Electrical Energy Consumption in Peltier Based Thermo-Electric Atmospheric Water Generators. [USQ Project]
Abstract
Commercial thermoelectric air dehumidifiers are commercially available. They are based on the Peltier effect. It has been proposed by a number of researchers that systems similar to the thermoelectric dehumidifier can be used as atmospheric water generators (AWGs). One of the main problems has been the high amount of energy consumption per volume of water produced. This project consists of two parts:
(1) to establish the reason(s) for the high energy consumption of Peltier based AWGs
(2) to develop novel higher energy efficiency Peltier based AWGs
