Atmospheric water generation systems and methods

A method for extracting water from air, the method comprising:

• intersecting an atmospheric air stream with a rich desiccant fluid within an absorber flowing along a desiccant circulation loop to extract water vapor from the atmospheric air stream and to absorb extracted water vapor to dilute the rich desiccant fluid to form a diluted desiccant fluid;
• flowing the diluted desiccant fluid along a solution flow path into an evaporator vessel to evaporate water from the diluted desiccant fluid to form a post-evaporation desiccant fluid flow and an evaporated water vapor flow;
• prior to flowing the diluted desiccant fluid into the evaporator vessel, heating the diluted desiccant fluid via one or more heating subsystems, wherein the one or more heating subsystems comprises at least one heat exchanger for implementing sensible heat transfer between the diluted desiccant fluid and the post-evaporation desiccant fluid flow;
• and
• directing the evaporated water vapor flow through a compressor and into a condenser to form condensed water, wherein the condenser defines at least a portion of the solution flow path and wherein the condenser is configured to utilize sensible heat transfer between the diluted desiccant fluid flowing through the condenser and the evaporated water vapor flow to lower a temperature of the evaporated water vapor to condense the water vapor into the condensed water;
• and
• wherein the post-evaporation desiccant fluid flow is returned to the absorber as the rich desiccant fluid.
