The invention relates to improved resin bonded sorbent compositions and articles of manufacture fabricated therewith, such as air conditioning and refrigeration components. The introduction of desiccants into resinous molding compositions enables the elimination of more conventional bagged desiccant containments. The novel molding compositions of the invention and parts fabricated therewith are multi-functional, beneficially combining structural, mechanical and adsorptive capabilities without requiring the usual reinforcing additives. Consequently, with the omission of reinforcing additives the novel molding compositions of the invention are further characterized by higher moisture adsorptive capacities by allowing for higher sorbent loading factors than prior adsorbent-containing molding compositions.
A multifunctional molding composition, which comprises at least a moisture adsorbing amount of a sorbent in combination with a resin, wherein said sorbent-resin combination is present in said composition as a resin bonded sorbent, said sorbent comprising a plurality of particles mixed throughout said resin in a miscible manner, said molding composition further characterized by enhanced mechanical properties when in the absence of an additive having a utility generally recognized for reinforcing articles of manufacture fabricated from resinous molding compositions.
A multifunctional molding composition, which comprises at least a moisture adsorbing amount of a sorbent in combination with reinforcing agent and a resin, wherein said reinforcing agent is present in said composition in a lesser amount than would otherwise be introduced in the absence of said sorbent, said sorbent comprising a plurality of particles mixed throughout said resin in a miscible manner.
A method for manufacturing a component for a refrigeration cycle, which comprises the steps of:
