AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The system effectively reduces humidity by 30%, enhancing HVAC system efficiency and dehumidification processes, suitable for HVAC, aerospace, and natural gas industries.
Problems solved by technology
Humidity has the potential to substantially increase the power consumption of conventional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
The process of removing excess humidity can take a toll on the air conditioning equipment and potentially affect its efficiency.
Additionally, if the AC system is not properly sized for the area which is cooled, if the AC system is old, and if the AC system has not been properly maintained, the overall dehumidification may be impacted negatively.

A system and method to dehumidify atmospheric air includes a convergent conduit, a separation unit, and a divergent conduit. A volume of humid atmospheric air enters the convergent conduit through an entry point of a convergent nozzle of the convergent conduit. A swirling process, which generates a centrifugal force, pushes a volume of water droplets towards an internal wall of the separation unit. In particular, the volume of water droplets is produced from the volume of humid atmospheric air. An annular channel of the separation unit is used to extract the volume of water droplets pushed to the internal wall of the separation unit. In particular, a drainage system which is in fluid communication with a transfer channel is used to extract the volume of water droplets from the system. A volume of dehumidified air, which is produced by removing water vapor, exits the system at the divergent conduit.
