Water-Saving Air Conditioner Units

The 'Air Whale' Turns Condensation into Humidifying Mist

Working as an accessory to an air conditioner unit, the 'Air Whale' is designed to save the condensation that's produced when the AC unit is in operation.

Those that have used a window air conditioner before know that the units produce a lot of water that is otherwise wasted. As such, the 'Air Whale' is designed to help collect this condensation, purify it and then transform it into mist that is released near the air conditioner. This allows the air conditioner unit to operate more effectively and cool down a space faster thanks to the cool mist exhaust nearby.

The 'Air Whale' is the design work of Deng Pei-Chih and was the winner of a Red Dot Design Award.
