Continuously acting adsorption devices and process for their operation
TLDR
In this article, a plurality of adsorption containers are provided which are separated into heater adsorber zones and condenser evaporator zones, which are successfully rotated through flow segments which form a passageway for heat carrier flows.Abstract:
A plurality of adsorption containers are provided which are separated into heater adsorber zones and condenser evaporator zones. The zones are successfully rotated through flow segments which form a passageway for heat carrier flows. The heater adsorption zones contain an adsorption substance from which an operating substance is extracted by adsorbing heat from a heat carrier flow and is again adsorbed by emitting heat to a further heat carrier flow. The operating substance condenses and evaporates by means of a heat exchange with further heat exchangers. The adsorption devices are suitable as cooling devices and heat pumps as well as heat transformers and heat exchangers.read more
