  • Adsorption cell, adsorption cluster and adsorption compressor as well as method of operating an adsorption compressor
    Patent number: 9488393
    Abstract: An adsorption cell suitable for a thermal wave operated adsorption compressor comprising an elongated solid adsorption material extending along an axis, the elongated solid adsorption material and an elongated heat transfer fluid (HTF) channel in direct heat transferring contact with the outside surface of the solid adsorption material. The adsorption material is formed by a stack of units, i.e. pills of adsorption material. Each pill is accommodated in an associated cup from a heat conductive material. The surface conformity and roughness of the bottom of pill of the unit and of top of the pill of the adjacent unit on the one hand and of the cup bottom wall on the other hand are such that any gap between the abutting bottom and cup bottom wall and the abutting top and cup bottom wall is less than 30 micron, preferably less than 10 micron.
