In this work, a prototype design was performed with the capacity to capture water, and this consists of coils systems, without and with contact with ambient conditions, it captures the water in humidity, then, air temperature is decreased for water condensation. The study revealed that the changes in the relative humidity influence the time to obtain the condensation of water; additionally, if the system was in contact directly with ambient conditions, the time of obtaining 50 mL of water was diminished. Finally, a mathematical model was developed to explain the influence of humidity and temperature on the water condensation flow; from simulations of this model, it was observed that the higher the humidity in the environment and the lower the condensation plate temperature, the water condensation flow was increased, for example, at 84% relative humidity a condensation flow between 1.3 and 2.6 L/h is expected.
