Project Overview
Project Description
Uravu Labs Pvt Ltd is developing a high-efficiency air-to-water device with a capacity of 2000 liters per day (LPD), aiming to achieve exceptional performance through advanced structural and design optimizations. The project aims to optimise the absorber and dissolver subsystem of Uravu Labs’ air-to-water device by applying advanced CFD and thermal-fluid dynamics (TFD) techniques. The project will focus on refining the packing section design of the adsorber system to enhance liquid-air interaction, absorption/dissolution rates, and heat dissipation using CFD/TFD validation. This work builds on existing design/simulation frameworks and experimental data, with iterative collaboration from Uravu’s engineering team to validate simulation results and align with structural, electrical, and airflow balancing subsystems.
Impact
The air-to-water device project at Uravu Labs Pvt Ltd is expected to make a significant environmental and social impact by providing an innovative solution to water scarcity, especially in areas with limited access to clean drinking water. By harnessing atmospheric moisture to produce potable water, the technology promotes sustainable water sourcing, supporting SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) by increasing safe water access. The device also contributes to SDG 13 (Climate Action) by offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional water extraction and transport, and the system saves 2.5 lt of groundwater for every liter of water from air produced. Additionally, the project encourages sustainable use of natural resources and aims to help develop resilient infrastructure and foster innovation within the cleantech industry, helping to build a sustainable, resource-efficient future.
