The available systems are not capable of providing water and ice simultaneously by using a single system. Some available system is capable of generating water from the air, and some systems are capable of providing ice from water. All existing ice-making systems uses an external source of water either directly from the tap or a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system wherein a pipe is connected to the system or from a bottled water jar to supply the water from these described sources. These systems are dependent on water sources and are not genuinely automatic in terms of quality and availability as they depend on the source of water and need manual intervention to manage the water supply to the system.

[0003] The quality of ice made in the available ice-making systems is not reliable. Mainly, the quality of the ice depends on the provided source of water. None of the available systems has an inbuilt filter which can filter the impure input water and provided clean and clear water. Also, when impure input water is fed to the system, it may cause deterioration of performance of the system and the compromising the food-grade quality of the generated ice.

Summary of the invention

[0017] According to the present invention, a system for amassing drinkable water and ice from the air in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. The system is an automated water and ice-making system which uses atmospheric air to generate water and ice. The system egress filtered and mineralized water, which can be used for drinking purpose. The system configured with a water making section and an ice-making section. Also, provided with a water dispensing unit for dispensing water and an ice outlet for withdrawing ice. The system is controlled by a control panel which simultaneously or independently controls the operation of the water making section and the ice-making section. The control panel can be pre-programmed to send instructions to the water making section and the ice-making section.

[0018] The water making section is having a first compressor, a first condenser, a first evaporator, a first water tank and a water filter unit. The ice-making section is provided with a second compressor, a second condenser, a second evaporator, and an ice storage tank. Further, a second water tank, a third water tank and the water dispensing unit is provided in-between the water making section and the ice-making section.

[0019] The refrigerant in the first compressor is compressed and circulate towards the first condenser. The first condenser is provided with a condenser fan. The condenser fan reduces the temperature of the refrigerant. Also, the first condenser is connected to a first liquid line filter. The first liquid line filter is for filtering the condensed refrigerant. Further, the water making section also includes a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve controls the flow of the condensed refrigerant toward the first evaporator and the second solenoid valve controls the flow of the condensed refrigerant toward the second water tank as per the instruction received from the control panel. The control panel controls the opening and closure of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve.

[0020] Further, the first evaporator is arranged horizontally and parallel to the ground surface. A blower is arranged in adjacent to the first evaporator. The blower directs atmospheric air containing moisture towards the first evaporator. The moisture content forms water droplets on the surface of the first evaporator, which eventually is collected in the first water tank. The first water tank is arranged adjacent to the first evaporator.

[0021] Further, at least a pump is arranged to circulate the water between the water making section and the ice-making section. A first pump and a second pump are arranged in the system. The first pump circulates water from the first water tank to the second water tank through a water filter unit. The third water tank is arranged in adjacent to the second water tank. Further, the water filter unit is provided therein for filtering and mineralizing the amassed water. The filtered and mineralized water is stored in the second water tank. The water dispensing unit facilitates dispensing water from the second water tank. The water dispensing unit is provided with the knob and a solenoid water valve. The knob is connected to the solenoid water valve to dispense thereby.

[0022] Further, the second water tank is provided with an insulated cooling jacket to maintain the water temperature to a predefined temperature. The predefined temperature is up to 6-10 degree Celsius. Further, the first water tank and the second water tank is provided with at least a level sensor for automatic switching on/off the water filling process in the first water tank and the second water tank. The sensors provide information about the water level in the first water tank and the second water tank to the control panel. The first lower sensor and the second lower sensor gets triggered when the water level is very less in the first water tank and the second water tank, respectively. Similarly, the first upper-level sensor and the second upper-level sensor gets triggered when the water level reached a predefined level and stopped the first pump. The control panel upon receiving signals from the sensors lowers or higher the water level in the respective water tanks. Upon receiving signals from a sensor, the control panel switches on and switches off the water making process respectively. Further, upon receiving signals from the sensor, the control panel switches on and switches off-pump respectively

[0023] Further, the third water tank is provided with a float valve. The float valve is used for maintaining the water level in the third water tank. Specifically, when the water is filled to a predefined position, the float valve rises upwards and shuts off the float valve and prevents the further flow of water from the second water tank to the third water tank. Similarly, when the water level is decreased to a predefined level, the float valve drops downwards to open the float valve and initiates the water flow from the second water tank to the third water tank.

[0024] Further, in the ice-making section, the refrigerant in the second compressor is compressed and circulate towards the second condenser. The second condenser reduces the temperature of the refrigerant and passes towards the second evaporator. Specifically, the condensed refrigerant from the second condenser passes through a second liquid line filter. The second liquid line filter filters the condensed cold liquid refrigerant. The cold liquid refrigerant evaporates when passing through the second evaporator, thus lowers the temperature of the evaporator surface to up to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

[0025] Further, a sprinkler is arranged in adjacent to the second evaporator to sprinkle water from the third water tank toward the second evaporator. The cold-water cascades over the second evaporator surface, thereby forming ice over the surface of the second evaporator. Specifically, ice cubes are formed inside an evaporator grid of the second evaporator. A third solenoid valve is provided in the ice-making section for releasing hot refrigerant in the gaseous form directly to the second evaporator. The temperature of this gaseous refrigerant is around 60 degrees Celsius which causes the second evaporator surface to defrost and release the ice cubes from the evaporator grid. The hot refrigerant gas is released for dropping the ice cubes from the evaporator grid to the ice storage tank.

[0026] The control panel is provided with a built-in timer which decides the opening and closing of the third solenoid valve. Also, the control panel receives signals from an ejection sensor to decide the timing of operating the third solenoid valve. Further, the ice storage tank is provided with a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is provided for switching on/off the ice-making process. The temperature sensor sends signals to the control panel once the ice storage tank is filled with the ice cubes. The control panel automatically switches off the cycle of making ice cubes. Similarly, when there is a lack of ice cubes in the ice storage tank, the temperature sensor signals the control panel to start the ice making cycle.

[0034] Referring to figure 1, a system for amassing drinkable water and ice from the air in accordance with the present invention is illustrated. The system 100 is automated water and ice-making system 100, which uses atmospheric air to generate water and ice. The system 100 egress filtered and mineralized water, which can be used for drinking purpose and the like. The system 100 is configured with a water dispensing unit 110 for dispensing water and an ice outlet (not shown) for withdrawing ice. In the present embodiment, the water dispensing unit 110 is provided with a knob 114 for dispensing water. It may be obvious a person skilled in the art to provide a water tap and the like for dispensing water from the system 100.

[0035] Further, the system 100 includes a water making section and an ice-making section. The system 100 is controlled by a control panel 115, which simultaneously or independently controls the operation of the water making section and the ice-making section. The control panel 115 can be pre-programmed to send instructions to the water making section and the ice-making section. The water making section is having a first compressor 120, a first condenser 130, a first evaporator 140, a first water tank 145 and a water filter unit 150.

[0036] Further, the ice-making section is provided with a second compressor 160, a second condenser 170, a second evaporator 180, and an ice storage tank 185. Further, in the present embodiment, a second water tank 155, a third water tank 165 and the water dispensing unit 110 is provided in-between the water making section and the ice-making section. In another embodiment, the system 100 has only the second water tank 155 which serves the purpose of the third water tank 165. A gaseous refrigerant such as Hydro Fluro Carbons, R-410A and the like is filled in the first compressor 120 and the second compressor 160. The first compressor 120 and the second compressor 160 is used for compressing the gas refrigerant.

[0037] The refrigerant in the first compressor 120 is compressed and circulate towards the first condenser 130. The first condenser 130 is provided with a condenser fan 132. The condenser fan 132 reduces the temperature of the refrigerant. Also, the first condenser 130 is connected to a first liquid line filter 134. The first liquid line filter 134 is for filtering the condensed refrigerant. The filtered cold refrigerant from the first condenser 130 passes towards a first evaporator 140 through a capillary tube (not shown). In the present embodiment, the capillary tube is a copper tube of a very small internal diameter and of very long length, and it is coiled to several turns so that it would occupy less space for reducing the temperature of the refrigerant.

[0038] Further, the water making section also includes a first solenoid valve 136 and a second solenoid valve 138. The first solenoid valve 136 controls the flow of the condensed refrigerant toward the first evaporator 140 and the second solenoid valve 138 controls the flow of the condensed refrigerant toward the second water tank 155 as per the instruction received from the control panel 115. At a time either one solenoid valve 136 or 138 is open. When the first solenoid valve 136 is open, the condensed refrigerant flow towards the first evaporator. When the second solenoid valve 138 is opened, then the condensed refrigerant flows toward the second water tank 155. The first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve is also controlled by the control panel 115. The control panel 115 controls the opening and closure of the first solenoid valve 136 and the second solenoid valve.

[0039] Further, the first evaporator 140 is arranged horizontally and parallel to the ground surface. A blower 142 is arranged in adjacent to the first evaporator 140. The blower 142 directs atmospheric air containing moisture towards the first evaporator 140. The moisture content forms water droplets on the surface of the first evaporator 140, which eventually is collected in the first water tank 145. The first water tank 145 is arranged in adjacent to the first evaporator 140.

[0040] Further, at least a pump is arranged to circulate the water between the water making section and the ice-making section. Specifically, a first pump 148 and a second pump 167 are arranged in the system 100. The first pump 148 circulates water from the first water tank 145 to the second water tank 155 through a water filter unit. The third water tank 165 is arranged in adjacent to the second water tank 155. The second pump 167 circulates water from the third water tank 165 to the ice-making section.

[0041] Further, the water filter unit 150 is provided therein for filtering and mineralizing the amassed water. The filtered and mineralized water is stored in the second water tank 155. The water dispensing unit 110 facilitates in dispensing water from the second water tank 155. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to configure the dispensing unit 110 with the third water tank 165. The dispensed water can be used for cooking, drinking and the like. The water dispensing unit 110 is provided with the knob 114 and a solenoid water valve 112. In the present embodiment, the knob 114 is a push button. The knob 114 is connected to the solenoid water valve. The solenoid water valve 112 allows the water to dispense thereby.

[0042] Further, the second water tank 155 is provided with an insulated cooling jacket to maintain the water temperature to a predefined temperature. In the present embodiment, the predefined temperature is up to 6-10 degree Celsius. It may be obvious to a person skilled in the art to dispense hot water through the water dispensing unit 110. Specifically, the second water tank 155 receives a flow of cold refrigerant when the second solenoid valve 138 is open. The process of sending the flow of cold refrigerant to the second water tank 155 is done automatically at a pre-set time interval, which is monitored by the control panel 115. In the present embodiment, the process of sending the flow of cold refrigerant lasts for about 10-15 minutes at an interval of every 2 hours.

[0043] Further, the first water tank 145 and the second water tank 155 is provided with at least a level sensor 146,147, 156 and 157 for automatic switching on/off the water filling process in the first water tank 145 and the second water tank 155. Specifically, the first water tank 145 is provided with a first lower level sensor 146 and a first upper-level sensor 147 and the second water tank 155 is provided with a second lower level sensor 156 and a second upper-level sensor 157. The sensors provide information about the water level in the first water tank 145 and the second water tank 155 to the control panel 115. The first lower sensor and the second lower sensor gets triggered when the water level is very less in the first water tank 145 and the second water tank 155 respectively. Similarly, the first upper-level sensor 147 and the second upper-level sensor 157 gets triggered when the water level reached a predefined level and stopped the first pump 148. Upon receiving signals from sensor 146 and 147, the control panel 115 switches on and switches off the water making process respectively. Upon receiving signals from sensor 156 and 157, the control panel 115 switches on and switches off pump 148 respectively.

[0044] Further, the third water tank 165 is provided with a float valve 166. The float valve 166 is used for maintaining the water level in the third water tank 165. Specifically, when the water is filled to a predefined position, the float valve 166 rises upwards and shuts off the float valve 166 and prevents the further flow of water from the second water tank 155 to the third water tank 165. Similarly, when the water level is decreased to a predefined level, the float valve 166 drops downwards to open the float valve 166 and initiates the water flow from the second water tank 155 to the third water tank 165.

[0045] Further, in the ice-making section, the refrigerant in the second compressor 160 is compressed and circulate towards the second condenser 170. The second condenser 170 reduces the temperature of the refrigerant and passes towards the second evaporator 180. Specifically, the condensed refrigerant from the second condenser 170 passes through a second liquid line filter 172. The second liquid line filter 172 filters the condensed cold liquid refrigerant. Further, the liquid refrigerant passes through a capillary tube. The capillary tubes are provided there for further reducing the temperature of the refrigerant before it enters the second evaporator 180. The cold liquid refrigerant evaporates when passing through the second evaporator 180 thus lowers the temperature of the evaporator surface to up to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

[0046] Further, a sprinkler 190 is arranged in adjacent to the second evaporator 180 to sprinkle water from the third water tank 165 toward the second evaporator 180. Specifically, a spray bar is arranged on the sprinkler 190, which sprinkles the water on the second evaporator 180. The second evaporator 180 is arranged vertically. Also, the spray bar is arranged vertically on the surface of the second evaporator 180. The cold-water cascades over the second evaporator 180 surfaces thereby forming ice over the surface of the second evaporator 180. Specifically, ice cubes are formed inside an evaporator grid 182 of the second evaporator 180.

[0047] Further, a third solenoid valve 162 is provided in the ice-making section for releasing hot refrigerant in the gaseous form directly to the second evaporator 180 instead of going to the second condenser 170. In the present embodiment, the temperature of this gaseous refrigerant is around 60 degrees Celsius, which causes the second evaporator 180 surfaces to defrost and release the ice cubes from the evaporator grid 182. The hot refrigerant gas is released for dropping the ice cubes from the evaporator grid 182 to the ice storage tank 185. The hot refrigerant gas is released from the second compressor 160 for a predefined time duration. Specifically, the hot refrigerant gas is released from the solenoid valve 162. The predefined time duration is set on the control panel 115. In the present embodiment, the predefined time is 5 minutes as a maximum permissible time.

[0048] The control panel 115 is provided with a built-in timer which decides the opening and closing of the third solenoid valve 162. Also, the control panel 115 receives signals from an ejection sensor 184 to decide the timing of operating the third solenoid valve 162. When the ice cubes drop down, the ejection sensor 184 signals the control panel 115 to shut the third solenoid valve 162 and thereby starting the next ice making cycle. The dropped ice cubes are collected in the ice storage tank 185. Specifically, the ice storage tank 185 is arranged in adjacent to the second evaporator 180 for collecting and storing the ice.

[0049] Also, the ice storage tank 185 is provided with a temperature sensor 186. The temperature sensor 186 is provided for switching on/off the ice-making process. The temperature sensor 186 sends signals to the control panel 115 once the ice storage tank 185 is filled with the ice cubes. The control panel 115 automatically switches off the cycle of making ice cubes. Similarly, when there is a lack of ice cubes in the ice storage tank 185, the temperature sensor 186 signals the control panel 115 to start the ice making cycle. Specifically, once the temperature sensor 186 detects temperature below 5 degrees Celsius, it sends a command to the control panel 115 to stop the ice-making process.

[0050] The ice storage tank 185 is insulated to maintain the inside temperature to prevent defrosting of ice cubes. Further, if any water drops from the ice storage tank 185, the dropped water is circulated back to the first water tank 145, and the water is re-filtered through the water filter unit 150 and can be reused.

[0051] Referring now to figure 2, an embodiment of the system 100 having only one compressor 210, one condenser 220, a water evaporator 230, an ice evaporator 240, a water storage tank 250 and an ice storage tank 260 is illustrated. The compressor 210 compresses the refrigerant gas (not shown) and pass it to the condenser 220. The condenser 220 condensed the received refrigerant and then passes towards the water evaporator 230 or towards the ice evaporator 240. A condenser fan 225 is provided to reduce the temperature of the condensed refrigerant. Further, a first solenoid valve 222 and a second solenoid valve 224 are arranged adjacent to the condenser 220. The first solenoid valve 222 is provided to control the flow of the refrigerant toward the water evaporator 230 and the second solenoid valve 224 is provided to control the flow of the refrigerant toward the ice evaporator 240.

[0052] Further, a blower 235 is provided in adjacent to the water evaporator. The blower 235 directs atmospheric air containing moisture towards the water evaporator 230 forming water droplets on the surface of the first evaporator 140. The water droplets are collected in the water tank 250. The water tank is arranged in adjacent to the water evaporator 230. Further, the collected water from the water tank 250 is further sent towards the ice evaporator for generating ice from the collected water. The generated ice is stored in the ice storage tank.

[0053] Another embodiment shows the system 100 when the humidity & ambient temperature of the atmospheric air is too low, and the water making process is not happening. In such situations, an external water source is provided to keep the ice making cycle running. The control panel 115 senses low water level in the first water tank 145 and the second water tank 155 then enables the first pump 148 to receive water from an external water source such as a tap or a water container.

[0054] Therefore the advantages of the present invention are to provide a system 100 for amassing drinkable water and ice from the air. The system 100 efficiencies are not affected by an ambient condition such as warm or humid ambient conditions. Also, the system 100 is capable of producing drinkable water and ice simultaneously. Further, the system 100 is capable of operating the water amassing and ice generating process automatically. The system 100 is also having a water dispenser for dispensing water in a predefined temperature. Further, an ice storage tank with a lid for collecting ice in accordance with a user's requirement is provided therein. The system 100 doesn't require any additional elements such as replacement of water tank, or a water chiller to maintain the dispensed water temperature and efficiency. The system 100 is compact and portable, which is simple in construction and economical. Also, the system 100 doesn't have water wastage and also doesn't require drainage for carrying wastewater. Further, the system 100 provides a crystal clear and hygienic ice as purified water is used for making ice.
