Abstract
A sorptive heat exchanger (E), which presents a plurality of heat exchange channels (10) in thermal contact with respective sorption channels (11), where sorption material (12) is fixed on the internal surfaces of channels (11).
Claims21
A sorptive heat exchanger including a plurality of heat exchange channels (10) in thermal contact with respective sorption channels (11), characterised in that said sorption channels (11) comprise sorption material (12) fixed on their internal surfaces.
Sorptive heat exchanger according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the heat exchanger (E) is arranged such as to perform the desorption of said sorption material (12), by means of a heated fluid that transports heat from the heat source (20), preferably waste heat, heat from a district heating system, heat from cogeneration plants or heat from solar thermal collectors.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims, wherein the heat exchanger (E) is arranged to perform the concurrent flow desorption of the sorption material (12) by means of the heated fluid which flows in channel (11).
Sorptive heat exchanger according to any claims from 1 to 11, wherein the heat exchanger (E) is arranged to perform the concurrent flow desorption of the sorption material (12) by means of the heated fluid (G,G1,G2) which flows in channels (10) and (11) in the same direction.
Sorptive heat exchanger according to any claims from 1 to 11, wherein the heat exchanger (E) is arranged to perform the counter flow desorption of the sorption material (12) by means of the heated fluid (G) which flows first in the heat exchange channels (10) then is heated by the heat source (20) and then is blown in sorption channels (11).
Sorptive heat exchanger according to any claims from 1 to 14, wherein said heat exchanger (E) is arranged such as to perform a pre-cooling following desorption, by means of a fluid (24) conducted in the heat exchanger channel (10) and taking up the heat from the sorption channel (11).
Air conditioning or climatization apparatus including the sorptive heat exchanger according to one or more of the preceding claims
Process of cooled sorption of at least a component from a gas mixture (F1) on a solid sorption material by means of the sorptive heat exchanger according to any claim from 1 to 15.
