Abstract

Adsorptions-Kühlapparat mit einem intermittierend beheizten Sorptionsmittelbehälter (12), der ein Sorptionsmittel (19) enthält, das während einer Adsorptionsphase ein Arbeitsmittel exotherm sorbiert und während einer folgenden Desorptionsphase unter Wärmezufuhr bei höheren Temperaturen wieder desorbiert, mit einem Verflüssiger (4), der über eine Verbindungsleitung (10) verflüssigtes Arbeitsmittel in den Verdampfer (4) ableitet, der wiederum mit dem Sorptionsmittel über eine Arbeitsmitteldampfleitung (9) in Verbindung steht, wobei der Verflüssiger (4) an einen Pufferspeicher (14) gekoppelt ist, der zumindest einen Teil der Verflüssigungswärme des Arbeitsmitteldampfes puffert und die gespeicherte Wärme auch während der Adsorptionsphase an die Umgebung wieder abführen kann.

Figure 00000001
Adsorption cooling apparatus with an intermittently heated sorbent container (12) containing a sorbent (19), which sorbs a working agent exothermic during an adsorption and desorbed during a subsequent desorption with heat at higher temperatures, with a condenser (4), the a connecting line (10) discharges liquefied working fluid into the evaporator (4), which in turn communicates with the sorbent via a working medium vapor line (9), wherein the condenser (4) is coupled to a buffer reservoir (14) which at least part of Liquefaction heat of the working medium vapor buffers and the stored heat can dissipate during the adsorption phase to the environment again.
