First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for evaporating excess water from a source, comprising a housing having:
- an air inlet, the air inlet directing air in a first direction;
an air outlet;
a plurality of channels arranged generally perpendicular to the first direction, the channels having undulations; and
a water reservoir that feeds water into the channels;
wherein the channels are separated from each other by dividers that extend generally parallel to the channels;
wherein the housing includes a ceiling with walls depending therefrom; and
wherein each of the ceiling walls is located directly above a respective channel, such that the ceiling walls are interdigitated with the dividers.

Abstract
A system for evaporating excess water from a source includes a housing having: an air inlet, the air inlet directing air in a first direction; an air outlet; a plurality of channels arranged generally perpendicular to the first direction, the channels having undulations; and a water reservoir that feeds water into the channels. In some embodiments, baffles are created with walls that depend from the ceiling of the housing and that are interdigitated with dividers that separate the channels. This configuration can remove water generated by the source (such as an external compressor unit) in a quick and efficient manner.

9. A system for evaporating excess water generated by a compressor unit, comprising:
- a housing having;
an air inlet, the air inlet directing air in a first direction;
an air outlet;
a plurality of channels; and
a water reservoir that feeds water into the channels; and
a compressor unit that generates air and water, the compressor unit being fluidly connected with the air inlet to supply ambient air thereto and fluidly connected to the water reservoir to provide water thereto, the water being extracted from pressurized air produced by the compressor unit;
wherein the channels are oriented to be generally perpendicular to the first direction;
wherein the channels include undulations;
wherein the channels are separated from each other by dividers that extend generally parallel to the channels; and
wherein each of the ceiling walls is located directly above a respective channel, such that the ceiling walls are interdigitated with the dividers. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
