Abstract
A system includes a gas capture system having a first adsorber with a first sorbent material and a first phase change material. The first sorbent material is configured to adsorb an undesirable gas from a gas flow during an adsorption mode. The first phase change material is configured to absorb heat during the adsorption mode to increase a capacity of the first sorbent material to adsorb the undesirable gas.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a gas capture system, comprising:
- a first adsorber having a first sorbent material and a first phase change material, wherein the first sorbent material is configured to adsorb an undesirable gas from a gas flow during an adsorption mode, and the first phase change material is configured to absorb heat during the adsorption mode to increase a capacity of the first sorbent material to adsorb the undesirable gas.
A system, comprising:
- a controller having a memory, a processor, and instructions stored on the memory and executable by the processor to:
- selectively change operating modes of a gas capture system in a sequence of an adsorption mode, a desorption mode, and a cooling mode, wherein the gas capture system comprises a first adsorber having a first sorbent material and a first phase change material;
- control a gas flow through the first adsorber in the adsorption mode, wherein the first sorbent material is configured to adsorb an undesirable gas from the gas flow during the adsorption mode, and the first phase change material is configured to absorb heat during the adsorption mode to increase a capacity of the first sorbent material to adsorb the undesirable gas;
- control heating of the first adsorber in the desorption mode, wherein the heating causes desorption of the undesirable gas from the first sorbent material;
- and
- control cooling of the first adsorber in the cooling mode, wherein the cooling regenerates the first phase change material prior to a subsequent operation in the adsorption mode.
