Device for extracting water from atmospheric air
The invention relates to a first device for extracting water from atmospheric air (18), comprising a flowable sorbent for sorbing the water, in particular a brine solution having a hygroscopic salt, wherein the sorption is provided at least along a sorption path (1, 5), wherein the flowable sorbent is arranged at least along the sorption path (1, 5) substantially on a guide element (1) for guiding the sorbent, wherein the guide element (1) comprises at least two distributing elements (3) arranged at least partially vertically adjacent to one another for enlarging the sorption surface or the sorption path (5), said first device for extracting water from atmospheric air achieving a better energy yield in order to achieve an economical mode of operation. This is achieved according to the invention in that a width (27) of the distributing element (3) developed as a projection onto a horizontal plane is greater than a height (26) of the distributing element (3) developed as a projection onto a vertical plane.
