Device for heat transfer between a liquid and a gas and method for operating the device

A method for operating a heat transfer device, wherein the heat transfer device comprises:

• a gas inlet,
• a gas outlet,
• a liquid inlet connected to a reservoir for holding the liquid, wherein the reservoir is formed with an opening in an upper region of the reservoir, and wherein the reservoir is arranged at an upper end of the exchange region,
• an impounding basin, wherein the impounding basin is arranged below the reservoir, and wherein the impounding basin is formed with a liquid outlet, and
• an exchange element arranged in the exchange region,
• and wherein the method comprises steps of:
• disposing an upper part of the exchange element through the opening of the reservoir such that the upper part of the exchange element is arranged at least partially inside the reservoir,
• filling the reservoir at least partially with the liquid such that the upper part of the exchange element is at least partially submerged in the liquid and a flow of liquid along the exchange element is created,
• providing, by the gas inlet, the gas into the exchange region, such that the gas is in direct contact with the liquid in the exchange element, and
• retrieving, by the gas outlet, the gas from the exchange region.
