Abstract
The invention relates to an air conditioning apparatus including a first absorptive heat exchanger having sorption channels in at least one flow direction, a method for conditioning fluids, in particular for cooling and/or drying a stream of air, an adsorptive air-air cross-flow heat exchanger, and an outer wall element including an integrated air conditioning apparatus.
Claims18
An absorptive air-air cross-flow heat exchanger, wherein the channels of the heat exchanger have no internal fins, wherein the heat exchanger has sorption channels having a channel width of from 0.5 to 2 mm, the sorption channels coated with an adsorption material in at least one flow direction, the adsorption material comprising water-adsorbing metal-organic frameworks, wherein a coating thickness of the adsorption material in the sorption channels is from 10 to 200 μm, and heat exchanger channels in at least one other flow direction, wherein an amount of an adsorption material coated in the heat exchanger channels is less than 5% of an amount of the adsorption material coated in the sorption channels.
