Abstract: Water generation systems and related methods of generating water from air are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, water generation systems and related methods comprise a solar unit or layer to convert solar radiation into heat and/or electrical energy, a sorption unit or layer comprising a hygroscopic material to capture water vapor from ambient air, a regeneration gas to accumulate water vapor from the sorption unit or layer, and a heat exchange assembly to condense water vapor from the regeneration gas to produce liquid water. Disclosed heat exchange assemblies can comprise a vapor-compression cycle or refrigeration circuit configured to circulate a refrigerant. A refrigerant evaporator can transfer heat from condensation of water vapor in the regeneration gas to the refrigerant and/or a refrigerant condenser can transfer heat from condensation of refrigerant vapor to the sorption unit or layer. Various embodiments include a controller to adjust a system operational setpoint based on a system operational state and/or an environmental condition.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing production and distribution of liquid water extracted from air. In certain embodiments, a system is provided that includes a plurality of local water generation units (110) including a first local water generation unit and a second local water generation unit. The first and second water generation units each include a controller that is configured to control a production rate of liquid water extracted from the air, a local water collection unit, and a local transceiver. A principal water supply unit (120) is in fluid communication with at least one of the local water collection units. The principal water supply unit is configured to store at least part of the liquid water extracted from the air and to maintain a principal water level at a reservoir of the principal water supply unit based on one or more operational parameters for water distribution.
