Abstract

There is a saying, “water has only two aspects; when mixed with anything it’s NEED, and when not it’s LIFE”. Sometimes the terrible water scarcity in tropical countries like Bangladesh reminds us this quote immensely. Despite the fact that water covers more than two third (around 70%) of the Earth's surface yet at the same time fresh water which can be utilized for drinking and doing regular errands stays rare (just around 2.5%). Drinking water accessibility is a noteworthy issue in some country region in Bangladesh during the summer because of absence of precipitation. For that reason, people need to go a couple of kilometers far from home to get the water. This project aims to solve this problem. In the coastal areas of Bangladesh the percentage of relative humidity is quite high (around 70-80%). Along these regions, the humid air can be utilized to meet the water needs of individuals by utilizing a dehumidifier unit. Further the sun oriented insolation is very high in these zones round the year. The Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) is one of the option answer for new water recuperation from environment which is straightforwardly consolidated the dampness substance of water vapor from the air. This paper introduces the strategy to build up a model of an AWG in light of Thermo-electric cooler (TEC) that utilized 12 Volt DC, consequently its appropriateness for utilizing sustainable power source asset.
