What is the difference between condensation and crystallisation?
A. Condensation is the method used by dehumidifiers and other water-from-air generators to extract moisture from the air. Evaporator coils or plates are cooled to just above zero degrees Celsius, causing water vapor to drop to its dew point temperature (changing from a vapor state into a fluid state suspended in the air as fine droplets or mist). These water droplets condense on the evaporator plates and run off into collecting tanks. Condensation frequently holds impurities from the air such as sulphuric acid (acid rain), carbonic acid (CO2), dust particles (which water droplets form around), bacteria and many types of viruses. All of these things go along with the water when it condenses onto evaporator plates. Consequently, the resulting water requires extensive filtration and sterilization before it is fit for human consumption. Crystallisation is the patented process used by the C2000 Water Maker to generate pure water from the air. With this system, moisture is taken from a vapor
