REFRIGERATOR INTEGRATED WITH AN ATMOSPHERIC WATER HARVESTING UNIT, AND METHODS OF USING THEREOF

摘要

Provided herein are refrigerator systems integrated with an atmospheric water harvesting unit, as well as methods using such systems. The atmospheric water harvesting unit serves as a water supply for the refrigerator system by capturing w7ater from surrounding air. For example, the water capture materials may be metal organic frameworks. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor is condensed into liquid water and collected. The liquid water is suitable for use as drinking water.
