An integrated data center resource system includes an absorption cooling subsystem thermally coupled to a hot exhaust stream and configured to produce chilled coolant for cooling data center equipment. A desiccant-based water harvesting subsystem receives at least a portion of the hot exhaust stream to regenerate a moisture-absorbing desiccant, extract water vapor from ambient air, and release and condense liquid water. A carbon capture subsystem downstream of the cooling and water harvesting subsystems removes carbon dioxide from cooled exhaust gas. A control system dynamically allocates the hot exhaust stream among the subsystems to simultaneously provide cooling, recover water, and reduce carbon emissions.

An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow. The desiccant flow is then heated to encourage water vapor evaporation from the desiccant flow into a controlled air stream that circulates within the system. The humidity of the controlled air stream is thereby increased above the relative humidity of the atmospheric air to facilitate condensation of the water vapor into usable liquid water.

An atmospheric water generation system absorbs water from an atmospheric air stream into a desiccant flowing along a flow path of a closed desiccant circulation loop. An amount of water output by the atmospheric water generation system depends on an energy expenditure and environmental conditions at the location of the system. To optimize the performance of the atmospheric water generation system, the system includes controllers and a control system that are configured initiate one or more atmospheric water generation operations based on time-based energy predictions for the system. The time-based energy predictions are generated using machine learning models that learn correlations between optimization inputs aggregated from a plurality of different sources and the performance of the atmospheric water generation system.
A coating comprising a photosensitive sorbent composition is configured to be able to modulate the spectral signature of an object. The photosensitive sorbent composition has a stepped Type F-IV isotherm profile and can switch between a porous open phase which absorbs electromagnetic radiation and a less porous closed phase which reflects electromagnetic radiation. The photosensitive material can be converted to the closed phase upon exposure to light of a first wavelength through a photochemical transformation to allow for an object coated in the photosensitive material to be detectable by reflecting electromagnetic radiation. The photosensitive material can be converted from the open phase to the closed phase upon exposure to light of a second wavelength to camouflage an object coated the photosensitive by absorbing electromagnetic radiation.
A device comprising a photosensitive sorbent material is configured to concentrate a target chemical species. The photosensitive sorbent material has a stepped Type F-IV isotherm profile with a high working capacity and can adsorb the target chemical species in a porous open phase. The photosensitive material can be converted into a less porous closed phase upon exposure to light of a certain wavelength through a photochemical transformation to allow for desorption and collection of the target chemical species. The photosensitive material can be converted back to the open phase upon exposure to light of a different wavelength for regeneration and this process can be repeated cycles of adsorption and desorption.

ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS BY ABSORPTION USING ULTRASOUND OR MICROWAVE FOR REGENERATION OF THE SOLVENT
An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature (625) of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed (610) by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow.
