Dragonfly: The Innovative Air to Water Machine Solving the Global Water Crisis

High Flux, a Singapore-based company, has developed an air-to-water machine that produces fresh water by condensing atmospheric moisture. The machine can generate up to 1 liter of water per hour and store over 19 liters. It uses advanced filtration and sterilization technologies to ensure water purity. The machine's energy consumption varies, drawing 1000 watts per hour with heating and cooling, and 600 watts for room temperature water. High Flux is also involved in Singapore's water recycling and desalination efforts, crucial for the island's large population. With global water scarcity on the rise, such innovations are vital. By 2025, freshwater demand is expected to increase by over 50%, necessitating new conservation strategies.

What is the primary function of the air-to-water machine developed by High Flux?

• To heat and cool water efficiently

• To replace traditional water dispensers in offices
