Title:
ADSORBENT REFRIGERATOR WITH SEPARATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998050739
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A heat transfer apparatus (2) that uses an adsorbent material (10) to generate a cooling effect. The heat transfer apparatus (2) includes a first vessel (4) containing adsorbent material (10) and a second vessel (6) interconnected to the first (4). A working substance is contained within the two interconnected vessels (4, 6). The working substance is drawn as a vapor out of the second vessel (6) and toward the first vessel (4) to cool the second vessel (6). A separator device (430) separates at least part of the vapor passing from the second vessel (6) toward the first vessel (4) to delay the point at which the adsorbent material (10) in the first vessel (4) becomes saturated with vapor. The adsorbent material (10) may include a carbon fiber (613, 910) that desorbs the working substance when electrical current is passed therethrough. The carbon fiber (613) may also be positioned within a container (600) to displace fluid in the container (600) when the carbon fiber is desorbed.
