HOW THE SKYWELL 5T WORKS
The Skywell 5T atmospheric water generator (AWG) condenses water from the air
and delivers it as either hot or cold for consumption. A fan pulls air through an
electrostatic air filter and over a heat exchanger that has been cooled below
the dew point of the entering air. On this cooled surface, water condenses and
is filtered through a double-layered wire mesh into a stainless-steel tank that is on
rails and that can be easily opened.
The generated water in the collection tank is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light to
kill bacteria. The effectiveness of the UV light is monitored with a unique UV
sensor.
The water level in the collection tank is controlled via depth sensors. Generated
water is pumped from the tank through 4 filters. The first filter is a mineralization
filter that helps increase pH levels and adds calcium carbonate. The second
filter is a granular activated carbon (GAC) cartridge which improves taste and
removes organic chemicals and any foul odors. The third filter is a carbon block
(CB) that removes organic compounds (S/VOCs) and heavy metals (Pb, Fe,
etc.). The fourth cartridge is an ultra-filtration (UF) membrane filter that removes
any remaining fine sediments, suspended particles, viruses and bacteria.
