  • Absorption plate for an air-conditioner
    Patent number: 8978407
    Abstract: The invention relates to an absorption plate for a vehicle air-conditioner, through which a flow of absorbent fluid (110) passes, said fluid flowing along at least one exchange surface (130), the exothermic absorption of a coolant occurring through said at least one exchange surface (130) by increasing the concentration of the coolant in the absorbent fluid (110), the plate comprising, along said at least one exchange surface (130), a means (150) for rendering the temperature of the flow of absorbent fluid uniform, characterized in that the means (150) for rendering the temperature uniform is a separate turbulence means for said at least one exchange surface (130), and increases the turbulence of the flow of absorbent fluid (110) along said at least one exchange surface (130).
