Abstract
A sorption unit for air-conditioning technology apparatus with sheets for heat emission, past which water vapor is passed. The sheets are provided with zeolite bodies which are designed to have surface contact with the sheets. Channels for vapor passage are defined between bodies arranged one beside the other. Lateral grooves are formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the zeolite bodies for communicating water vapor from the surface of the zeolite bodies to the channels. A buffer section and a condenser/evaporator unit complete the sorption unit to form an air-conditioning system.
Claims11
A sorption unit for an air-conditioning and heat technology apparatus, said unit comprising:
- a working medium water;
- a sorption medium comprising a plurality of zeolite bodies, wherein the working medium water is exothermally sorbed in said sorption medium and in a subsequent endothermic reaction again is desorbed;
- sheets for thermal conduction past which said working medium water is guided, said sheets being in surface contact with said sorption medium;
- and
- channels for passage of working medium water are formed between adjacent ends of an adjacent two of said plurality of zeolite bodies,
- wherein a working pressure in the sorption unit is maintained below atmospheric pressure.
A sorption unit for an air-conditioning and heat technology apparatus, the unit comprising:
- a working medium;
- sheets for thermal conduction past which the working medium is guided;
- a sorption medium comprising profiled bodies for making surface contact with the sheets;
- and
- channels for passage of the working medium being defined by said profiled bodies;
- channels for passage working medium being defined by adjacent ends of an adjacent two of said profiled bodies;
- wherein the working medium is exothermally adsorbed on the sorption medium and subsequently exothermally desorbed from the sorption medium, and wherein a working pressure in the sorption unit is maintained below atmospheric pressure.
