Sorption module

A sorption temperature-control device, comprising:

• at least one sorption module, the at least one sorption module including:
• a housing defining a longitudinal axis and enclosing a working chamber, the housing including a sorption zone and a phase change zone arranged in the working chamber where a working medium is displaceable reversibly between the sorption zone and the phase change zone;
• a sorption structure arranged in the sorption zone and coupled to a sorption path in a heat-transmitting manner for guiding a sorption path medium;
• a phase change structure arranged in the phase change zone and coupled to a phase change path in a heat-transmitting manner for guiding a phase change path medium;
• the housing including an outer wall surrounding the working chamber in a circumferential direction of the longitudinal axis, the outer wall including a double-walled section defining a cavity extending axially to the longitudinal axis between an outer wall part and an inner wall part of the double-walled section;
• wherein the phase change path is guided through the cavity, and the phase change zone including the phase change structure disposed therein is arranged on an inner side of the inner wall part, wherein the inner side of the inner wall part is exposed to the working chamber and an outer side of the outer wall part is exposed to an external surrounding of the housing;
• at least one sorption circuit, wherein the sorption path medium circulates in the at least one sorption circuit and the sorption path of the at least one sorption module is incorporated into the at least one sorption circuit;
• at least one phase change circuit, wherein the phase change path medium circulates in the at least one phase change circuit and the phase change path of the at least one sorption module is incorporated into the at least one phase change circuit;
• and
• wherein the housing includes a jacket defining at least the double-walled section of the outer wall, the jacket including a supply connection disposed in the outer wall part for supplying the phase change path medium to the phase change path and a drain connection disposed in the outer wall part for draining the phase change path medium from the phase change path, the drain connection arranged spaced axially apart from the supply connection with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

A sorption module for a sorption temperature-control device, comprising:

• a housing enclosing a working chamber and including a sorption zone and a phase change zone arranged in the working chamber where a working medium is displaceable reversibly between the sorption zone and the phase change zone;
• a sorption structure arranged in the sorption zone and coupled to a sorption path in a heat-transmitting manner for guiding a sorption path medium;
• a phase change structure arranged in the phase change zone and coupled to a phase change path in a heat-transmitting manner for guiding a phase change path medium;
• an outer wall of the housing including a double-walled section arranged at least in a section to provide a cavity between an outer wall part and an inner wall part of the double-walled section, wherein the phase change path is guided through the cavity, and the phase change zone is arranged on an inner side of the inner wall part;
• the outer wall part of the double-walled section including a supply connection for supplying the phase change path medium to the phase change path and a drain connection for draining the phase change path medium from the phase change path, the drain connection arranged spaced apart from the supply connection in a longitudinal direction of the housing;
• and
• at least one of a distributor channel is defined in the cavity in a region of the supply connection that extends in a circumferential direction of the housing, and a collector channel is defined in the cavity in a region of the drain connection that extends in a circumferential direction of the housing.
