Abstract
A sorption system is disclosed that includes a sorbent material and a fluid, in which the sorbent material and fluid in combination have a pressure index of at least 1.2.
Claims35
A sorption system, comprising:
- (a) a sorbent material;
- and
- (b) a fluid,
- wherein the sorbent material and fluid in combination have a pressure index of at least 1.2.
1 more element
A sorption system, comprising:
- a vessel in communication with a heat source, the vessel comprising a sorbent material and a fluid;
- the sorbent material selected from zeolites, silicagel, adsorbing polymers, carbon, activated carbon, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs);
- and
- the fluid selected from carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, butane, ammonia and freon
1 more element
A process for providing refrigeration comprising:
- selecting a fluid and a sorbent material;
- sorbing the fluid into the sorbent material;
- heating the sorbent material to desorb the fluid from the sorbent material;
- and
- directing the desorbed fluid to an instrument to expand the desorbed fluid for refrigeration;
- wherein the sorbent material and fluid in combination have a pressure index of at least 1.5.
3 more elements
A process for generating electricity or work comprising:
- selecting a sorbent material and a fluid;
- sorbing the fluid into the sorbent material;
- heating the sorbent material to desorb the fluid from the sorbent material;
- and
- directing the desorbed fluid to drive a driver device to generate electricity or work.
