AN APPARATUS FOR ENRICHING HUMIDITY IN ATMOSPHERE AND A METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for enriching humidity in atmosphere. The apparatus (10) may comprise a catamaran-type vessel (11) or a trimaran-type vessel; at least one conduit (14) mounted on the vessel (11) for channelling air from the surface of a water body and discharging the channelled air to a position above the surface of the water body, the position having a pressure relatively lower than that on the surface of the water body; and an air extractor (17) positioned within each conduit (14) to create a reduced pressure condition therein to extract the air from the surface of the water body into the conduit. The apparatus (10) may also be provided with additional means (19) for further increasing the vapour content in the extracted air. The invention is also provided with a method for enriching humidity in the atmosphere by using one or a plurality of the apparatus (10) as depicted in the foregoing.
