Method for reclaiming an evaporated liquid from an air stream, comprising transferring the evaporated liquid from a first quantity of air into a second quantity of air, wherein the second quantity of air is smaller than the first quantity of air, wherein the second quantity of air is circulated in a closed cycle, and wherein the first quantity of air is circulated in a closed cycle and evaporative cooling occurs within the closed cycle in which the first quantity of air is circulated.
Device for carrying out a method for reclaiming evaporated liquid from a first quantity of air wherein the evaporated liquid is adsorbed in a sorption agent and then desorbed in a second quantity of air, comprising
- a container having a plurality of rotationally supported chambers filled with the sorption agent and permeable by an air flow,
- a first closed cycle in which the first quantity of air is circulated to guide an air flow through at least one chamber of the container, the first cycle including an evaporative cooler, and
- a second closed cycle in which the second quantity of air is circulated to guide an air flow through at least one chamber of the container and subsequently through a heat exchanger.
