Device for extracting water from atmospheric air
The invention relates to a device for extracting water from atmospheric air by means of a flowable sorbent for sorbing the water, wherein the sorption by means of the flowable sorbent (3) is provided at least along a sorption path (2) of the sorbent (3), wherein a sorbent (4) thinned with water (17) that has been taken up is provided at the end of the sorption path (2), wherein a separating unit (12) for at least partially separating the water (17) that has been taken up from the flowable sorbent (3, 4) is provided, wherein the separating unit (12) has at least one evaporator (12) for evaporating the water (17) that has been taken up, which device can be operated in an energy-efficient manner and in particular is not absolutely dependent on the presence of solar energy. This is achieved according to the invention in that the separating unit (12) has at least one vacuum compressor (16) for applying vacuum to the thinned sorbent (4).
