The "Water Cooler" is a multi function design concept then providing constant electricity out put produced by a fuel less generator also able to electrify water de-humidification equipment ( dehumidifier ), water distillation equipment, water refrigeration, and forced air H.V.A.C. ( heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment. The system also then acting as a H.V.A.C. system to cause forced hot air displacement as a heater and as a fuel less air conditioner. The design placed in any region will then act as a well spring also then able to pump the harvested water from a ground well with the excess electricity it produces. The design placed upon roof tops for buildings could provide unlimited clean water and electricity for lighting clothes cleaning or other function. The design with the air conditioner active upon a roof top can provide lighting, water collection / irrigation for roof top gardens...

The water condensate from the upper chamber containing the main evaporator is then directed via tube to the lower intake union at the water tap assembly and or vented into the freeze chamber to form chilling ice to then enter the distillation system when melting. Freezing also assist in pathogen removal and is prior to the systems distillation system.
The design is self cleaning via the distillations steam cycle to then clean by temperature the water collection recess.
Water steam filters also upon the main water collection water chamber.
The H.V.A.C. design then with two evaporators and one condenser within the total refrigeration system. The refrigeration condenser then is chilled by a cooling exchanger acting a a heat sink that contains a circulation pump cycling the internal fluid chilled by the lower cold plate that then chills the condenser. The upper evaporator then acting as the air conditioner air chiller... The dehumidification system with an additional independent internal evaporator and water condensate pumping system feeding water to the distillations system ( the dehumidification system uses the H.V.A.C. condenser chill assisted by the cooling exchanger)..
Within the water bottle adjacent to the lamp will contain a negative pressure (vacuum ) tube the to allow pressure equilibrium when filling the water bottle. The vacuum then produced within the distillation system also allowing for cyclic distillation.
The water bottle air flow return tubes surrounding the water bottle ( sum of 10 ) will contain the required flow systems for electricity refrigerant, wire bus control circuits and in the air flow only channels an air filter is then inserted into the flow tubes ( atmospheric ionizer optional).
The forced air blower, then located just beneath the quartz heat elements, motivated by an electric motor driving the blower fan. The motor fan assembly is able to rotate in both clock wise and counter clock wise rotation to then cause heat lower upon displacement and cold air through the top displacement ports... ( with the cold air cycle active the condenser then chilled by the cooling exchanger, simultaneously the temperature is dropped by the top cooling evaporator). The cold plate then uses the water mass itself as a heat sink within the cooling exchanger system. Wall clearance then at 12" upon the mounting. A wall mount thermal insulated safety plate to protect the wall will also mount to the wall that contains the top system wall mount union mounting bracket.
The water bottle has a screw on lid ..opened for periodic cleaning...and the water bottle is extractible when the system cap is detached at the 10 encasement flow / conduit ( multi wire- refrigeration tubes/ hoses ) are unbolted to allow for the water bottle extraction.
The electrical out put receptacle then also containing circuit breakers to limit the electricity output and keep the system safe. The power generator system contains sealed electric motors and may contain generators located at http://www.designdeskinc.com/hydraulic-draft-cycle.html
Even though the system is required mounted for safety the power system then contains a tilt switch to only allow for operation in when the system is in the vertical position. The "tilt switch" is a safety measure. The system will contain an electrical ground to then control any stray static or capacitance electricity to prevent injury due to static electricity via ground wire to house hold wiring or earth pin connector.
A flow directional louvered shutter "air gate / directional valve", is then actuated by electric solenoid, just above the quartz heater and another upon the hot air exhaust wall connection port. This then causes the air flow directed when the onboard O2 (oxygen sensor) determines that the cycling air needs to be exchanged vectoring the flow air to the connected heat exhaust port wall connection tube that is coupled with the wall mount thermal insulation plate allowing air duct work within the buildings walls to exchange the room air while being able to dehumidify, heating or cooling the air if required...
This allows for a building to then contain multiple service points with a small self sustained unit with an "intelligent" service system. ( ie.... the design can sense the climate of multiple rooms upon different floors of the building and adjust the system accordingly to effect different rooms or floors with a central unit).
The larger system will also require a water "dump" connection drain (out flow pipe), to then discharge any excess water not harvested and processed by the distillation system. Through out the building wall mount thermostats containing humidity and O2 sensors will communicate with the central unit to allow for "wide span" function. The system may also power emergency lighting and redundant power supply for fire extinguishing systems.
If the cost effective design is used for a hospital back up power system, the total system must contain a high thermal unit to heat the circulating air before it moves between rooms to very high temperature then adjust it to correct levels by an additional cooling system that also has the ability to self clean via heat.. ( the high heat system will be able to clean including the wall encased duct work).
The design may also be adapted to the agricultural industry to then aid in frost mitigation or extreme drought conditions... then heating the local air under a plastic arch cover and or to water the crops or live stock when the conditions require.
The design may scale ie... able to be made large or small then with a "desk top" version the size of a kitchen trash can to then grow food to sell to pay for the water cooler itself. If funded a differed ( delayed) pay back structure may allow for mass numbers of product implementation...
Note - the system must be externally electrically grounded to control stray voltage ( electricity from flow of air
as well as to then electrically ground the generator system!).
Note - the design system placed in wildfire prone regions may aid in water availability and or to power
the air distillation system listed at http://www.designdeskinc.com/wildfire-suppression-system.html
Note - When using this system the air quality in the immediate environment should be monitored for
contamination ... appropriate filters can be used for zones close to industrial complexes or zones
with high populations using internal combustion engine systems....
Note - This design system may also be used for glacier repair to then store water atop the zones where
glaciers form to then continually feed water to the tributaries...
Note - When using for agriculture the cold air discharge should be used to low level cycle the humidity
this reduces atmospheric greenhouse effect from increased water vapor in the air.
