Abstract
In an adsorption heat exchanger, adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture is supported on a surface of a heat exchanger body. An adsorbent layer containing the adsorbent is formed on the surface of the heat exchanger body by applying slurry containing the adsorbent in a contracted state to the surface of the heat exchanger body and drying the slurry. A solvent of the slurry contains alcohol as a main component.
Claims11
A heat exchanger in which particles of adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture are supported on at least a surface of a fin of a heat exchanger body, comprising:
- an adsorbent layer formed so as to contain the adsorbent on the at least the surface of the fin of the heat exchanger body by applying slurry containing the adsorbent in a contracted state to the at least the surface of the fin of the heat exchanger body and drying the slurry (32).
A heat exchanger in which particles of adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture are supported on at least a surface of a fin of a heat exchanger body, comprising:
- an adsorbent layer uniformly mixed with the adsorbent and formed on the at least the surface of the fin of the heat exchanger body.
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger in which particles of adsorbent expanded by absorbing moisture and contracted by dissipating moisture are supported on at least a surface of a fin of a heat exchanger body, comprising the steps of:
- after preparing slurry containing the adsorbent in a contracted state, applying the slurry to the at least the surface of the fin of the heat exchanger body;
- and
- drying the slurry, thereby forming an adsorbent layer containing the adsorbent on the at least the surface of the fin of the heat exchanger body.
