Water Access, Reinvented
Technology
We capture moisture from the air with our proprietary desiccant—delivering pure water anywhere on Earth with unmatched efficiency.
Breakthrough Technology
The WaHa Vaporator® is the world’s first machine to efficiently generate pure water in arid or any climate on earth and dry air with less energy than any dehumidifier in the world. When you produce both dry air and pure water you have a transformational air conditioner.
A simple change in perspective delivers breakthrough levels of energy efficiency. Just by viewing humidity as an input to generate water versus as a waste product we significantly improve the performance of a heat pump.
Our solution combines 2 components
A Solid Desiccant
Traditional solid desiccants like silica gel or SAPO-34, or novel desiccants such as metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs (pictured at right); and,
Our unique desiccant regeneration engine
The desiccant regeneration engine enables the WaHa Vaporator® to efficiently extract water from air at low humidity by
- Balancing desorption and condensation energy
- Raising the temperature of the evaporator
- Reducing the temperature gap between the condenser and the evaporator therefore improving energy efficiency by 50%
Together, this innovation can save up to 50% on air conditioning energy costs as well as reduce the amount of capital expense required.
