  • Publication number: 20080314070
    Abstract: A cooling element with a sorption agent (11, 33) that, under vacuum, can sorb a vapor working agent, which evaporates from a liquid amount of working agent in an evaporator region (16, 22), and with a shutoff device, which, before initiating the cooling process, keeps the working agent vapor from being able to flow to the sorption agent (11, 33), and where the sorption agent (11, 33) and the evaporator region (16, 22) are surrounded by a multilayer film (1, 6, 31, 32) and the evaporator region (16, 22) contains a nonwoven (5, 36) and a flexible structural material (2, 35), which together can take on a flat flexible shape under vacuum, that can be pressed onto the containers (14, 24) that are to be cooled, and the structural material (2, 35), after the start of the cooling element, can conduct the working agent vapor up to the sorption agent (11, 33) and keep a flow cross section of at least 1 square centimeter (cm2) open for the working agent vapor.

  • Publication number: 20020005271
    Abstract: A sorption device for heating and cooling gas streams, with a sorbent container which contains a sorbent that takes up a working fluid which evaporates in an evaporator that contains a quantity of working fluid in correspondence with the quantity of sorbent, with a sorbent heat exchanger which exchanges the heat between a sorbent and a sorbent gas stream, with a working fluid heat exchanger which exchanges the heat between working fluid, and with a working fluid gas stream, and a closable valve between the sorbent container and the evaporator, which valve is able to interrupt the flow of the working fluid vapor, with both the sorbent heat exchanger and the working fluid heat exchanger having at their inlets and outlets connecting elements which can be readily attached to, detached from, and exchanged for one another on the gas flow channels for supplying and discharging gas streams that are to be heated or cooled.

  • Publication number: 20010025510
    Abstract: A sorption cooler for cooling substances in a vessel (4) by means of a sorption agent (11) within a sorption agent vessel (10), which in connected via a vapor valve (9) to an evaporator (10) for generation of working agent vapor, and where a part of the outer wall (1) of the vessel (4) is in good thermal contact with a working agent storage material (2) and at least this part of the outer wall (1) of vessel (4) is at the same time a part of the boundary surface (5) of the evaporator (8).
