Air well (condenser) – Heat sinks

There are three principal approaches to the design of the heat sinks that collect the moisture in the air wells: high mass, radiative and active. Early in the twentieth century, there was interest in high-mass air wells, but despite much experimentation including the construction of massive structures, this approach proved to be a failure. From [...]
