Heat-Exchanger Technologies

HEAT-EXCHANGE TECHNOLOGY - HEAT-TRANSFERMEDIA OTHER THAN WATER] (Vol 12)... 

Thermodynamic principles govern all air conditioning processes (see Heat exchange technology, heat transfer). Of particular importance are specific thermodynamic appHcations both to equipment performance which influences the energy consumption of a system and to the properties of moist air which determine air conditioning capacity. The concentration of moist air defines a system s load.

Because the evaporation of the solvent is an endothermic process, heat must be suppHed to the system, either through conduction, convection, radiation, or a combination of these methods. The total energy flux into a unit area of coating, is the sum of the fluxes resulting from conduction, convection, and radiation (see Heat exchange technology, HEAT thansfer).

The main problem in the system design is the heat and vapor transport in and out of the adsorbent. Advanced heat exchanger technologies have to be implemented in order to keep up the high energy density in the storage, which would be reduced by the amount of inactive heat exchanger material.
