Suitability and Energy Sustainability of Atmospheric Water Generation Technology for Green Hyrdogen Production

SEAS R&D Manager Luccia Cattani explores the integration of air-to-water generator (AWG) systems into green hydrogen production via atmospheric water electrolysis, addressing critical challenges in water supply and sustainability. This study evaluates water extraction from air through atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), focusing on water quality and energy efficiency for electrolysis. Rigorous chemical analyses were conducted on water produced by a certified air-to-water integrated system,…

Using SEAS Air-to-Water Generators to clean solar panels boosts efficiency and sustainability

This study addresses photovoltaic panel efficiency loss—up to 50%—due to soiling and highlights demineralized water as an optimal cleaning agent. It introduces an innovative approach using SEAS Air to Water Generator (AWG) technology for water supply, overcoming challenges in model selection and sizing via a cleaning time optimization method. The DIrt model estimates energy loss…

Production of water from the air: the environmental sustainability of air-conditioning systems through a more intelligent use of resources. The advantages of an integrated system

Magrini A. et al. / Energy Procedia 78 ( 2015 ) 1153 – 1158 Abstract The water vapor condensation in the HVAC system chillers can be employed to increase the sustainable use of resources by using the condensed water for domestic consumption. Preliminary investigation on a design of an integrated HVAC system for the air…

AWA 250 – Case of Study

In December 2017, SEAS installed an AWA 250 HWAC machine (usually called AWA 250 in the current document for shortness) in a worker village (named Labour Village 2 in the following two pictures) placed not very far from Dubai. The scope was to carry out a working test of the machine in order to determine…

Water Extraction from Air by Refrigeration — Experimental Results from an Integrated System Application

SEAS Systems was implemented in a cutting-edge case study to deliver a sustainable, multi-functional solution for a hotel, integrating drinking water production, domestic hot water supply, and air-cooling. By optimizing HVAC operations for atmospheric water condensation, the system enhanced resource efficiency in an arid climate. A sophisticated simulation model was developed to evaluate annual water savings…
