The unit works using the principle of adsorption and desorption of air humidity. Its main part is the sorption unit with a desiccant exchanger that allows for dehumidification even of air with low content of water vapor that can be found in desert conditions. Extracted water molecules accumulated in desiccant are then released at high temperature to smaller amount of air to increase itshumidity. High humidity from the air then condenses on the built-incooler in the unit as liquid water. This way, it is also possible to get water in desert conditions where ordinary condensing coolers do not produce any.
The Aqua Miraculosa autonomous unit consists of two containers – production and energy ones. The production container comprises the sorption unit, water reservoir, and a plant for treatment of the drinking water. Energy container comprises the battery repository, storage tanks for heat and cold. The solar roof is constructed over both containers. By connecting the roof with the containers, it is possible to produce and supply drinking water autonomously without a connection to energy grid. The outside dimensions of the containers in the top view are 2.4 × 6.0 m and the heightof containers is 2.9 m.
