  • Publication number: 20180003442
    Abstract: A device for heat transfer between a liquid and a gas, having: a gas inlet for providing the gas into an exchange region, a gas outlet for retrieving the gas from the exchange region, a liquid inlet connected to a reservoir for holding the liquid. The reservoir is formed with an opening in an upper region of the reservoir, the reservoir is arranged at an upper end of the exchange region, an impounding basin. The impounding basin is arranged below the reservoir, the impounding basin is formed with a liquid outlet, and an exchange element arranged in the exchange region. An upper part of the exchange element is disposed through the opening of the reservoir such that the upper part of the exchange element is arranged at least partially inside the reservoir and such that the upper part of the exchange element is at least partially submerged in the liquid.

  • Patent number: 9581346
    Abstract: A system (S) for regulating temperature and humidity in an enclosure (20), including: a thermal storage (5), a desiccant fluid (F), a second fluid (F?) consisting at least partially of water, wherein the second fluid (F?) includes an equilibrium humidity above the liquid desiccant, and a first and a second trickle element (1, 2), wherein the system (S) includes a first cycle (3), which is configured to supply the desiccant fluid (F) to an inlet (I) of the first trickle element (1), to let the desiccant fluid (F) pass a surface of a heat exchanger (6) for transferring heat between said first cycle (3) and a second fluid cycle (4) containing said second fluid (F?), and to pass back the desiccant fluid (F) to the inlet (I) of the first trickle element (1), wherein in said second cycle (4) the second fluid (F?) is supplied to an inlet (I?) of the second trickle element (2) and a run back (R) is connected to the inlet (I) of the second trickle element (2) after passing the surface of the heat exchanger (6), wherei
