Abstract
An atmospheric water generator (AWG) includes a defrost or reversing valve embedded on the refrigeration cycle of the AWG. The defrost or reversing valve enables, when activated, hot compressed refrigerant gas to flow from the condenser to the evaporator of the refrigeration cycle for melting frost buildup on the evaporator. In one embodiment, a defrost valve is connected, to the refrigerant line connecting the compressor to the condenser and to one of (i) the refrigerant line connecting the expansion means to the evaporator or (ii) the refrigerant line connecting the evaporator to the compressor.
