Estimating the term…
A regenerative adsorption process and a multi-reactor regenerative adsorption chiller assembly including a condenser adapted to receive a coolant from a source; an evaporator connected to the condenser to provide a refrigerant circuit; a plurality of reactors, each being able to operate in adsorption and desorption modes and having a coolant inlet to directly or indirectly receive coolant when operating in adsorption mode before, after or simultaneous with the condenser, and a waste heat inlet for directly or indirectly receiving waste heat from a waste heat source when operating in desorption mode; and control means for controlling said plurality of reactors such that each reactor alternately operates in adsorption and desorption modes for substantially identical time intervals, and such that each reactor has an equal chance of being the first reactor to receive the coolant when operating in adsorption mode, and the waste heat from the waste heat source when operating in desorption mode.
A regenerative adsorption process for application in an adsorption assembly comprising a condenser, an evaporator and a plurality of reactors each alternately operating in adsorption and desorption modes, said process comprising:
A multi-reactor regenerative adsorption chiller assembly comprising:
An assembly according to claim I 1, wherein said plurality of reactors comprises at least four reactors.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
