Efficiency of AWG as a Water and Energy Solution

Air water generation (AWG) is not a new concept. In fact, the technology has already been proven and tested in some of the world’s drought-prone areas. Perhaps one of the main selling points of AWG is it costs less and consumes less energy, compared to the production of bottled water, which, according to Phys.org, costs about 5.6 to 10.2 million joules of energy per liter or more than 2,000 times the energy required to produce tap water. In places where there are no water systems, AWGs prove to be a better water and energy solution, although the amount of water generated will depend on certain factors.

Absorption Chillers Help Cut Energy Consumption

During warmer months, commercial and industrial facilities deal with skyrocketing electric consumption, a good portion of which accountable to their cooling machineries. But if it’s possible to generate chilled water using heat itself, why not? For starters, absorption coolers are machines designed to use heat sources—solar, propane, geothermal, etc.—to produce chilled water.
