MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641081011 A) filed by Aditya University; Aditya College Of Engineering And Technology A; Aditya College Of Pharmacy A; and Aditya Degree College on July 01, 2026, for Device For Converting Snow Into Potable Water Using Dual-Stage Compression And Method Thereof.
Inventors include P. Srihari Datta Bhima Raju; Dr. Bollu Manikyala Rao; Kalesh Busa; Vinny Therissa Mangam; and Diddi Raja.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a device (100) for converting snow into potable water in cold and snow-dominated environments, thereby improving water availability, enhancing conversion efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and enabling portable production of potable water. The device (100) comprises a housing (101), a snow intake funnel (102), a primary compression chamber (104A), a first auger (106A), an ultrasonic conditioning module (110), a secondary compression chamber (104B), a second auger (106B), a heating element (114), a controller (116), a pump (120), a regenerative heat exchange conduit (122), a filtration assembly (124), and a storage reservoir (126). The device (100) improves thermal utilization during snow melting operations and reduces energy consumption associated with water production. The device (100) reduces entrapped air within densified snow to improve melting performance and water generation efficiency.
