Atmospheric Water Generator
Is water the new oil – Atmospheric Water Generator (A.W.G.) In a conventional cooling condensation type atmospheric water generator, a compressor circulates refrigerant through a condenser and then an evaporator coil which cools the air surrounding it. This lowers the air temperature to its dew point, causing water to condense. A controlled-speed fan pushes filtered air over the coil. The resulting water is then passed into a holding tank with purification and filtration system to keep the water pure. The problem is that these existing AWG systems consume excessive power. We are here!
Liquefaction (Industrial Gas Processing)
BLUE EARTH ENERGY SYSTEM’S (B.E.E.S.) TECHNICAL PRESENTATION What it does How it works It’s Components
The Compressor raises the pressure of the gas so it can release the heat it absorbed from the cold region to a hotter region by latent heat rejection via condensation.
Vapor Compression Cycle (VCC) Radiator Compressor Evaporator Heat Exchanger
STEADY STATE CONTROL BOUNDARY LINE. The Turbine converts the heat absorbed by the Hot Region to mechanical work output by expanding the warmgas to cold vapor. The Vapor Rankine Power Cycle is the exact opposite of the Vapor Refrigeration Cycle. The medium flows clockwise instead of counter clockwise. The heat flows from the Hot Region to the Cold Region. Work is accomplished by a Vapor Refrigeration Cycle by transferring heat from a Cold Region to a Hot Region via increasing the gas pressure from the use of a compressor and/or by utilizing isovolumetric pressurization (pressure cooker effect). Whereby Work is accomplished by a Vapor Rankine Power Cycle by the conversion of heat (thermal energy) to work output (mechanical energy) by decreasing the gas pressure via expansion through a turbine.
Rankine Cycle (RC) Boiler Turbine Pump Condenser
How it works Integrates hermetically sealed Refrigeration Cycles (RC) and Rankine Power Cycles (PC) to act as the Hot and Cold Regions for each other. Additional external Heat energy is captured from the space to be cooled by the Refrigeration Cycle working exactly like a conventional cooling plant. Instead of venting this heat energy to the outdoors, the Refrigeration Cycle pumps this heat energy into the Rankine Cycle to power a cold gas turbine. The turbine turns a generator which provides electrical energy the system needs to power it’s pumps with net power leftover for load demands that are external to the system.

Key Elements An efficient turbine can capture 80% of the energy in the gas that runs through it. The result is that the work the turbine does also re-cools the gas most of the way back towards its starting liquid state. The remaining cooling is accomplished by shunting heat from the spent gas into the evaporation stage of the Refrigeration Cycle, recycling it rather than wasting it.
KEY ELEMENTS (continued) System uses cryogenic mediums in each cycle. Cryogenic refrigerants boil at ultra low sub zero temperatures. Cryogenic gases naturally pressurize in a confined volume within the normal ambient temperatures of the environment near the earth’s surface. The gas pressurization essential to making the system work is accomplished primarily by adding heat (the “pressure cooker effect”), NOT by consuming energy to run a compressor.
BEE’S 1ST PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT For proof of concept, BEE’s first prototype was designed to take advantage of the natural pressurization and condensation that will occur from the extreme temperature differences that are present in cryogenic systems. BEE’s first prototype is designed to optionally utilize Thermosiphonic Circulation of it’s refrigerant mediums in lieu of using mechanical pumps and/or compressors.

BEES TECHNOLOGY CONFIGURED AS AN ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR
BEE’S POWER CHILLER CAN ALSO INCREASE SOLAR PV POWER OUTPUTS BY OVER 45% IF IT IS USED TO COOL THE ARRAY BY USING THE SOLAR AS AN OPTIOAL HEAT SOURCE. The average cost to install PV Solar is $2.10 /watt. The BEES Cryogenic Power Chiller System can use it’s residual free chilled water to cool each Solar PV module to -40 degrees F or lower even when the Solar modules would normally be over 200 degrees F. The cost to partner with BEES System is only 75 cents/watt or less for a 45% increase in the wattage output .
LOWER TEMP = HIGHER SOLAR POWER OUTPUT: On the top right is an illustration from First Solars’ Website depicting the performance of different types of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panels over a small temperature range . The bottom right charts the same panels’ performance over a larger temperature range that extends to -40 degrees C/F.
What it does Estimates predict: The working prototype to produce ~ 100 GROSS KW/HR of power with a net production of 50 to 80 KW/HR (after back work). The aforementioned power output (after efficiency losses) will be obtained from the conversion of the~157 KW/HR of heat/thermal energy acquired (i.e. ~45 tons of cooling) via the refrigeration process. The temperature change in the Ambient Air processed should be from ~89 degree Fahrenheit dry bulb input down to a -30 degree Fahrenheit output. The aforementioned refrigeration process should yield the atmospheric water generation (condensation) of ~45 gallons per hour (1,080 gallons per day) from a heat source at a relative humidity of 20% at an approximate wet bulb (dew point) temp of 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The above estimates are for the downscaled 1st prototype model that is presently being built. Based on the above estimates, a 100 Megawatt power plant utilizing this technology could condense and store approximately 1.2 Million Gallons of water per day. This technology is scalable both ways. However, it is believed that it is more economical and beneficial to upscale the technology to the Megawatt level while utilizing lower temperature cryogenic mediums such as Nitrogen/Argon/Helium. This will allow for the condensation/liquefaction of other fluids (like C02,LNG, etc) in addition to water.
