The present application relates to the field of dehumidification, in particular to a photoelectrochemical auxiliary dehumidification device driven by shadow effect, the upper layer is super-hygroscopic hydrogel, the middle layer is photoelectrochemical cell, and the lower layer is shadow effect device; in the photoelectrochemical auxiliary dehumidification system provided by the present application, the moisture absorbed by the hydrogel is rapidly decomposed by the photoelectrochemical cell with enhanced voltage generated by the shadow effect device. The absorption of atmospheric moisture by the hydrogel and the voltage generated by the light contrast difference of the shadow effect device caused by the transparent photoanode of the photoelectrochemical cell from the upper layer and the light-tight photocathode result in continuous dehumidification of the closed space under zero energy input, the relative humidity in the room can be maintained below 70% without additional energy input, and a certain stable current is generated, which improves the efficiency of the dehumidification system and reduces energy consumption, and has wide application prospect.

The invention relates to a method for operating a compressed-air supply system (1), which supplies compressed air to connected compressed-air consumers (16, 18; 20) via at least one compressed-air line (24), wherein the compressed-air supply system has at least one compressor (2), an air dryer (5) and a switchover valve (12), the air dryer (5) having a granular adsorption desiccant (10), the switchover valve being actuable by means of an electronic control device (14), in a first switching position (A) of the switchover valve (12) moist compressed air generated by the compressor being passed over the grains of the adsorption desiccant in a drying phase, as a result of which the adsorption desiccant absorbs atmospheric moisture from the moist compressed air, and in a second switching position (B) of the switchover valve (12) dry compressed air taken from the compressed-air supply system being passed over the grains of the adsorption desiccant in a regeneration phase, as a result of which the adsorption desiccant releases moisture to the dry compressed air, which is then subsequently discharged to the surrounding area (28). According to the invention, a water load value indicating the current water load of the adsorption desiccant is ascertained in the control device, the water load value is determined by means of at least two numerical values, and the switchover valve (12) is controlled with respect to the start and the duration of the drying phase and / or the regeneration phase depending on the water load value.

This invention discloses a ground-source heat pump-based cooling and heating energy station and its control method, belonging to the field of smart energy station technology. It includes acquiring the operating time period and corresponding outdoor air temperature and humidity; inputting the operating time period and corresponding outdoor air temperature and humidity into a preset cooling and heating energy station operating model for processing; optimizing for minimum operating cost; iteratively calculating the preset cooling and heating energy station operating model based on the operating time period and corresponding outdoor air temperature and humidity to obtain the optimal average energy release load of the energy storage module and the optimal cooling and heating switching threshold, thereby adjusting the operating mode of the cooling and heating energy station. This can improve the efficiency of the cooling and heating energy station and reduce costs; it solves the problem in existing technologies where "the impact of outdoor air temperature on the efficiency of the cooling and heating energy station is not considered, resulting in low system efficiency."

A system for atmospheric water extraction is provided. The system can include an actuator configured to produce at least one of mechanical vibrations or acoustical vibrations, an electrical circuit in electrical communication with the actuator device and configured to drive the actuator with one or more of pre-designed frequencies, amplitudes, or duty cycle, and a moisture-harvesting material disposed in contact with the actuator. The system can enable energy-efficient extraction of water from atmospheric moisture through vibrational and acoustic actuation mechanisms that operate without relying primarily on thermal evaporation processes. The actuator can generate vibrational energy across frequency ranges from infrasound to ultrasonic frequencies to disrupt water-sorbent interactions and facilitate moisture release from the moisture-harvesting material.
