Abstract
A drying device comprising a titano-alumino-phosphate with thermal management for the more efficient drying of objects and appliances, and its production. Further, a drying method for obtaining dried objects and appliances, as well as a method for regeneration accompanied by the desorption of water from water-containing titano-alumino-phosphate.
Claims18
A drying device with thermal management, comprising a dishwasher or a tumble dryer, said dishwasher or tumble dryer comprising at least one reception space for receiving objects and/or appliances having residual moisture to be dried, an adsorption device comprising an adsorption container containing of a regenerable titano-alumino-phosphate as adsorbent, and a device for transporting air streams comprising residual moisture and/or residual heat from the reception space into the adsorption container, wherein the adsorbent is at least partly regenerated by transfer of at least a portion of the residual heat to the adsorbent.
A method for drying objects and appliances with residual moisture, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing objects to be dried with residual moisture;
- b) adsorbing the residual moisture in a drying device comprising an adsorption container containing a titano-alumino-phosphate as adsorbent to obtain water-containing titano-alumino-phosphate, dried objects, and residual heat;
- and
- c) at least partly regenerating the water-containing titano-alumino-phosphate by transferring at least a portion of the residual heat to the adsorbent.
A method for producing titano-alumino-phosphates comprising the steps
- a) providing a silicon source, aluminium source and phosphorus source,
- b) converting the silicon, aluminium and phosphorus source into a gel,
- c) adding TiO2 to the gel, obtaining a gel composition, and
- d) reacting the gel composition, obtaining titano-alumino-phosphates.
