Big success…
+ High water recovery (85%), total water need 0,5 l/m²+ Increased yield by CO2 accumulation (1200 ppm CO2) + Enclosure keeps insects out (no pesticides´)
…with remaining constraints
- High costs for heat exchanger, tower construction- Abundancy to (cold) night time temperatures - Limitation according to high day time temperatures- Limitied performance of air de-humidification, results to low evaporation rates

Methods for improved temperature differences between hot/huimid air and available sources of cool
Heat pumps ??? Deep ocean water ???
Evaporative cooling Passive cooling, Storing cooler temperatures from night to day !!! Rejecting peak heat through night Evaporative cooling + air desiccation Cultivation of thermophile organisms, breeding
towards heat acceptance, algae CO2 enrichment Temperature difference between air layers
Dr. - Ing. Martin Buchholz, Technische Universität Berlin, Watergy GmbH Berlin
Methods of heat transfer between hot/humid air and available sources of cool
Air to air heat exchangers, use of greenhouse cover Increase of Surface Increase of heat conductivity Air to liquid heat exchangers Direct contact air to water heat exchangers Direct contact air to liquid desiccant heat exchangers
