Generally, an atmospheric water harvesting system useful in harvesting water from surrounding air. Specifically, a water harvester including a secondary heat exchanger operable in a first mode of the water harvester to absorb heat from the ambient environment to reduce the sensible heat penalty associated with increasing temperature to initiate desorption of water from a water capture material and in particular embodiments operable in a second mode of the water harvester to transfer heat from the desorbed water to the ambient environment.

Atmospheric water harvester having subcooler heat exchanger

Generally, a water harvester useful in harvesting water from supply air. Specifically, a water harvester configured to remove the heat gained during adsorption of water by the water capture material contained in the water capture modules of the water harvester. Removal of the enthalpy associated with the adsorption of water by the water capture material can lower the equilibrium temperature of the water capture material and increase the driving potential of adsorption by the water capture material and correspondingly increase the difference in absolute humidity between the supply air passing into a water capture module and the discharge air passing out of a water capture module.
