1 Industrial and Commercial Atmospheric Water Systems CH SERIES CLOUDBURSTE THE LOGICAL ANSWER TO THE WORLD S FRESH WATER CRISIS COMMERCIAL ATMOSPHERIC WATER SYSTEMS Atmospheric Water Systems, Inc. is the only U.S. manufacturer of atmospheric drinking water solutions. Our patented designs employ the highest quality U.S. materials to ensure dependability, reliability, serviceability and long-life. Founded in June of 2008, AWS has already invested more than one and a half million dollars conducting: extensive product and competitive research; product development; competitive market analysis; field-testing technology samples; building a solid company infrastructure; advancing the Dewpointe and commercial/industrial brands as respectable and trustworthy products. After only 18 months, AWS has received widespread international acclaim as one of the leaders in alternative sustainable water technologies. Exposure includes articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, Huffington Post and the Wall Street Journal. In January (2010), the AWS Dewpointe DH9 consumer system was featured on national cable in an episode of Designing Spaces: Think Green which aired on The Learning Channel (TLC), the Women s Network and more than 20 regional cable markets. The show reached more than 80 million households in the U.S.

2 CLOUDBURSTE TECHNOLOGY: What distinguishes the family of atmospheric water systems from all others is the fact that from the smallest system to the very largest, each is made from the finest materials, exceptionally constructed, and meets the highest possible quality and safety standards.

WELDED TUBE STEEL FRAMES AWS only uses the highest grade welded tubular steel for the frame of each CLOUDBURSTE. Units meet or exceed NEMA3R standards and are designed for prolonged use.

3 AWS Intellectual Property Setting the AWS line of atmospheric water systems apart from all other competitive models is a host of unique, patent-pending features designed to increase water production, decrease energy consumption and provide lower annual maintenance costs. In atmospheric water generating systems, the holy grail is to discover the critical point where maximum water condensation occurs at the lowest possible energy expenditure. Then, and only then, will the cost benefit be realized. In addition, AWS intends to continue to provide ongoing innovative patented improvements to its consumer and industrial AWGs over the months and years ahead maintaining AWS as the world s leader in sustainable water solutions. David Hollstein Vice President Research and Development Atmospheric Water Systems The CLOUDBURSTE features the newest technology in atmospheric water generation High-efficiency atmospheric water generation apparatus This technology increases the efficiency of all AWS atmospheric water generation systems by utilizing a two-stage cooling mechanism to allow a tight regulation of condensation coil temperature without resorting to the use of complex and expensive inverter compressor techniques. Conventional atmospheric water generation turns a refrigeration compressor off and on such that the condensation coil temperature remains below the dew point. With the traditional approach, the temperature can go well below the dew point resulting in inefficient operation. High-efficiency systems use a variable speed compressor to tightly regulate the condensation coil temperature just below the dew point. This new approach trades the increased cost and complexity of a variable speed compressor for increased efficiency. Our technology uses a conventional refrigeration compressor operating in the off/on control mode to cool an intermediate fluid reservoir. Fluid from this reservoir is pumped at a controlled, variable rate through the condensation coils such that the temperature remains fixed at just below the dew point. This allows close regulation of condensation coil temperature while using conventional refrigeration technology. Adaptive control strategy for atmospheric water generation State-of-the-art systems allow the user to define the environmental conditions at which atmospheric water generation will take place. These systems will only attempt to generate water when the relative humidity is above a threshold level This establishes a minimum efficiency level for water generation. While this approach insures a minimum efficiency, it is our intent to take this a step further. Our invention generates water when the conditions are best rather than simply good. To do this an internal microprocessor continually records the daily humidity and temperature measurements and selects the optimal time to operate the machine. This smarter approach further increases the effective efficiency and ultimately reduce the cost of generating water. High-efficiency water generator motor drive Maximizing the efficiency of atmospheric water generation systems is critically important to our customers. Getting the most water per unit energy is the figure of merit for which AWS will be judged. The electronic circuitry necessary for variable speed compressors and air circulation devices involves considerable complexity and cost. The circuitry converts fixed frequency alternating current power from the mains to direct current and then back to alternating current with a variable frequency. Driving compressors and fans/blowers with this variable frequency power allows the speed to be adjusted. Rather than adjusting the frequency, our motor drive invention utilizes a much simpler motor speed adjustment circuit in conjunction with a control strategy that has been tailored to the requirements necessary for atmospheric water generation. This combination allows for an overall reduction of cost and complexity. Self-Cleaning atmospheric water generation system Minimizing the requirement for periodic maintenance and system cleaning is necessary for widespread market acceptance of our equipment. Currently, atmospheric water systems require customers to clean various tanks, trays and delicate coils more often than desired increasing maintenance time and costs. Our innovative approach reduces periodic cleaning by continually and automatically disinfecting all water contact surfaces without user intervention.

5 HOW THE WORKS: Humid inlet air enters the unit through a set of louvers where it passes through an air filter and comes into contact with the water condenser coils. These coils are cooled to just below the dew point temperature of the inlet air by an industrial refrigeration system. Water condenses on the coils and is collected, is pressurized and passed through a series of filters to remove sediment and chemical contaminants. The water is subjected to high intensity, broad spectrum ultraviolet light () to destroy microbial organisms and pathogens prior to flowing out of the unit for storage and distribution. Cooled, dry air flowing past the water condenser coils is drawn across the compressor by an array of venturi fans to make contact with the refrigeration condenser coils. These coils recover a substantial portion of the thermal energy left over after the water condensation process. The now warm, dry air is exhausted through another set of louvers on the opposite side of the unit. Periodically, the unit will sanitize all the water in the system using the AWS WPS (water posing system) process. The operational control and monitoring of the status of the unit is performed using a computerized systems analysis program and interactive display.
