Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:The present invention generally discloses a water making equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a water re-cycling and rc-gcncration system for recycling of water from waste water and generation of water from atmospheric air. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:Water scarcity is a serious problem in many parts of the world. In fact, it has been found that a significant portion of the global population live under conditions of severe water scarcity during at least some months of the year.In the context of potable water, scarcity is caused and / or exacerbated by a variety of factors which may increase demand for potable water, such as an increasing population, urbanisation and industrialisation. As a result of these and other factors, the rate of depletion of existing water sources may exceed the rate of replenishment thereof. Furthermore, in the future, it is likely to become even more challenging to supply the potable water requirements of growing populations.There are reports available in the state of art revealing the existence of devices or systems which is capable of supplementing potable water resources.US4812237A discloses a closed water purification and recycle system processes domestic wastewater to produce potable water for cooking, drinking and dishwashing and water suitable for general household use, such as washing clothes and personal hygiene. The system consists of septic tanks, a biological sand filter, an ultrafilter, a disinfection unit, pumps, valves, water quality and quantity sensors to monitor and control the process. The system also includes an incinerator toilet to eliminate the need for toilet flush water. Water for cooking, drinking and dishwashing is produced by a still using some of the recycled water for feed. The quality of the recycled water is monitored to assure the product water is suitable for the intended uses. Water thus produced is stored until reused. The system will be automatically shut down if the final product water quality does not meet specifications. Blowdown containing concentrated salts from the still is evaporated and incinerated in the incinerator toilet to maintain a satisfactory concentration of salts in the recycled water. The system equipment is designed and sized to allow unattended operation between inspections, scheduled periodically, at which time routine maintenance is performed and makeup water is added to the system to replace water lost to evaporation.WO1996011170A1 discloses a system for reuse of waste water for drinking and other purposes.

[11] , pre-sediment filter
[12] , pre-carbon filter
[13] , post-carbon filter
[21] and sediment filter
[14] arranged in order serially. The waste water is pumped to pass through the filters[1 1,12,13,14] through 125psi pump motor[7a] and exit out filtered water through the outlet
[10] .Post-Carbon Filter: Post carbon filter enhance the taste of the water having maximum pressure up to: 125psi and maximum temperature: 100 F.Pre-Carbon Filter: Prc-carbon filter is used to remove organic impurities and chlorine content in the water. Specification of maximum pressure up to: 125psi and maximum temperature: 100 F. Sediment Filter: Sediment filter is used to removing dirt particles, rust and sand particles in the water.

[15] , circulates the filtered water into aluminium heat sink radiator Peltier cooling system
[16] , where one radiator provides hot water and another radiator provides cool water. The hot water is collected into the hot water chamber[3] through 100psi pump motor[7b] and the cool water collected into the cold water chamber[4] through 220psi pump motor[7c].The DC pump
[15] is 230VAC to 12V DC SMPS.The generated water chamber[5] comprises of coiled copper tube
[17] with inlet
[18] and outlet
[19] receives the cool water from the cold water chamber[4] through pump motor[7c] into the inlet

[17] exit out through the outlet
[19] of the copper tube
[17] and collected for reuse.The power supply[8] supply power to the Peltier refrigeration system[6] and the motors[7] upon activation. The power supply[8] is Switched Mode Power Supply(SMPS). The SMPS converts AC supply into DC supply. Whereas in the system of the present invention three SMPS are used. Those are,i) SMPS-12V / 50A DC supplies power for one set of Peltier cooling systemii) SMPS-12 V / 30A DC supplies power for another set of Peltier cooling systemiii) SMPS-12V / 10A DC supplies power for the DC pump motors (24V 1.5A 150 psi DC pump motor, 12V 4.5A 150psi DC pump motor, 12V 3A 110 psi DC pump motor), float switches and 12V DC relays.Working of system of the present invention:The waste water is collected in a filter chamber which has sponge filter, as it removes the solid waste and soap oils from the waste water. When this filtered water reaches three litres of the filter chamber, the float switch began to operate and actuates the relay and gives power supply to the 24V 1.5A 150 psi DC pump motor. There, this motor sucks the waste water andpumps it to the sediment RO filter and then it passes to post, pre carbon filters to make it pure and again passed to another sediment filter. The resultant is a re-cycled water. The water from the outlet of the sediment filter is divided into two equal parts and dropped into cold and hot water chamber. When these storage reaches 3 litres of water the float switch began to operate and actuates the 12V DC relay and gives power supply to the motors (12V 4.5A 150psi DC pump motor, 12V 3A 110 psi DC pump motor) and the Peltier's. There, the motors starts sucking the waters in the cold and hot water chamber and pumps it to the heat sink radiators connected in series in which the six Peltier's are attached to it. The heat sink radiators are attached on both the sides of the Peltier's to carry the hot and cold produced by the Peltier's. The Peltier's then begins to produce heat and cold which is absorbed by the heat sink radiator. When the water passed into it, the water absorbs the heat and cold absorbed by the heat sink radiators and again dropped into the respective chamber. The cold water circulates into the copper tubes which is designed in a spiral structure and then dropped into die cold-water chamber. By passing this cold water into the copper tubes, the copper tube starts to absorb the cooling and reaches a certain level of cold temperature. This copper tube is exposed to atmospheric, therefore the condensation takes place and water dews are formed. The resultant water is pure and safe as it is extracted from air. These water dews are collected in a generated chamber and retrieved for later uses. The whole process is incorporated in a mechanical structure which is made up of stainless steel in order to protect it from rust and to increase the mechanical strength.Therefore, it is concluded that the Water Re-cycling and Re-generation system of the present invention a more efficient and suitable system to be used for water re-cycling and regeneration process than the existing systems as it consumes less power and it does both recycling and regeneration of water in same system which subsequently reduce the buying cost of two separate system for users.
