CondensAir 5000

Free Energy sees a substantial, global market for providing safe, clean drinking water by extracting it directly from the air at considerably lower cost than conventional systems.

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers using refrigerant systems have been extracting water vapor from the air for generations, but too inefficiently to be considered practical up until now.

The new CondensAir 5000 works by converting the humidity in the air into water; known as “water capture.”

The crucial difference between our equipment and our competitors is our ability to capture water from the air more efficiently and economically than past generations of equipment by using thermal superconductors.

Thermal superconductors make use of a specially coated pipe which has the capacity to transfer heat passively over significant distances at high rates of speed with little energy loss, with no moving parts and without mechanical assistance.

Free Energy has patented the use of thermal Superconductors for use in many heating and cooling applications and is now entering the field ofwater capture applications.

With the use of thermal Superconductors in the CondensAir 5000 water capture equipment:

  • water can be produced for less than $.01 per liter
  • on site energy costs are less than half of the competitor’s
  • scaleable technology from 500 liters per day to 5 million liters per day
  • 10 year warranty packages are available


How does the CondensAir 5000 create these efficiencies?

The use of thermal superconductors allows for significant cooling of the moist air before it reaches the mechanical equipment needed to do the condensation work.

The thermal superconductors remove up to 50% of the heat passively, leaving the mechanical equipment to remove the remainder.

Comparable systems rely on their mechanical equipment to remove 100% of the heat.

  • This results in much greater efficiencies.
  • Size and costs of the mechanical components are reduced as they are called upon to do much less work for the same volume of air.
  • The industrial grade Superconductor components require simple maintenance and have extraordinary longevity. Easily replaced, they have been tested to operate in excess of 12 years, non stop.

Note: Actual water production and costs will vary with the moisture content of the air and electrical costs at your location. Air moisture content varies daily, seasonally and from place to place on the globe.


GLOBAL CONTEXT

By 2025 the world's population will have increased by 30% and access to safe drinking water will be greatly reduced. As water experts remind us, freshwater is a finite resource — there's the same amount of water available now as there was when the earth was formed.
While over 70 per cent of the earth’s surface is covered by water, most of it is unsuitable for direct human consumption as it is seawater.

It is estimated that freshwater lakes, rivers and underground aquifers represent only 2.5 per cent of the world’s total water supply.

Worse still is that less than 1% of the world's freshwater, or 0.007% of all the water on Earth, is readily available for human world consumption, but 99.5% of all surface freshwater is locked away in continental ice.

orWhere on earth is all that fresh water?

1.2 billion people - or almost 1 out of 5 people in the world - are without access to safe drinking water and half of the world's population lacks adequate water purification systems.

In 1998, 31 countries faced chronic freshwater shortages. By the year 2025, however, 48 countries are expected to face shortages, affecting nearly 3 billion people - 35% of the world's projected population and by 2050, 54 countries and 4 billion people will severely face that harsh reality. Countries in danger of running short of water in the next 25 years include Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nigeria, and Peru.

The UN estimates that in less than 25 years, if present water consumption trends continue, 5 billion people will be living in areas where it will be impossible or difficult to meet basic water needs for sanitation, cooking and drinking.

Among the many solutions required to fill these projected shortages, is the Free Energy Solution.
