Claims11
An apparatus, comprising:
- a casing defining an interior volume, the casing having a plurality of entrances, a top portion of the casing defining a top opening, and a bottom portion of the casing defining a bottom opening;
- at least one disc configured to rotate around an axis, the at least one disc positioned within the interior volume;
- a shaft with a first end and a second end, the shaft connected to the disc to rotate the disc around the axis;
- a set of heat conductors positioned within the at least one disc, wherein, upon rotation of the shaft, the at least one disc is configured to rotate, wherein a fluid with a liquid phase entering the casing is at least one of separated, absorbed, and desorbed into the liquid phase and a gas phase upon rotation of the at least one disc and performing a heat transfer on the fluid, wherein the liquid phase is configured to exit the bottom opening of the casing and the gas phase is configured to exit the top opening of the casing, wherein the casing is configured to be injected with a gas into the plurality of entrances,
- wherein the at least one disc comprises a plurality of walls extending partially between the top portion and the set of heat conductors, such that the plurality of walls forms a plurality of channels having a zigzag configuration, and wherein the plurality of channels is in fluid communication with the plurality of entrances and with the top opening of the casing.
