Abstract
Nowadays, water scarcity and lack of infrastructures such as the electric grid are two of the main issues that different countries must face. Both issues are treated between the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In relation to lack of water supply, several technologies to produce water have been developed. Among them, there are technologies to produce water from atmospheric air. These devices are usually called atmospheric water generators. Aquaseek, spin-off of Polytechnic of Turin and start-up of Princeton University, develops an atmospheric water generator whose operation is based on adsorption-regeneration cycles. Heat must be supplied during the regeneration phase to extrapolate water from adsorbent material, with maximum temperature around 60-70°C.
Given the required low thermal grade, low temperature heat sources can be used such as solar energy through thermal collectors
