Design Specifications

Vayujal (VJ-400 Lpd Unit) is an air-water generator that produces 400 Liter of water a day by extracting water from atmospheric humidity. The patented technology utilizes nanotechnology like bio-mimetic to make evaporators and condensers. The working mechanism of the technology follow five simple steps;

The air is filtered after fresh humid air is sucked in through a vent.
Then water is collected in the stainless steel water tank after it is condensed on a bio-mimicked surface.
Hot air is released back into the atmosphere after the water molecules are extracted.
The collected water then goes through an eight-stage filtration process to meet the drinking water standards of the World Health Organization (WHO) & Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Lastly, in order to ensure the purity and pH levels stability, essential minerals are added which are then ideal for human consumption.
