These known devices are connected via a suction channel on the one hand and via an inflow channel on the other hand with the passenger compartment. Airflow control elements can be brought into only two defined end positions in which they either direct the air through the device configured in the adsorption mode or in the desorption mode. In the desorption mode, the heated and moisture-laden air is discharged through an exhaust duct to the ambient air of the vehicle.

With this embodiment, a particularly low-effort and compact realization of the sorption device according to the invention is made possible.
  • a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that the first and the second air duct are formed coaxially. This embodiment is advantageous both in terms of the flow conditions of the sorbent layer and in that the second air duct at least partially surrounding the first air duct at the same time serves as a thermal insulation and thus protects surrounding components from high heat load during the desorption.

  • the domestic appliance according to the invention is provided with a process air duct through which process air coming from a treatment space flows, a sorption apparatus of the type described above being arranged in the process air duct.
  • the sorption device is preferably arranged above the treatment space, because it allows optimal use of the space that is usually available in the upper area of household appliances and prevents the sorbent layer from becoming soaked through process fluid (for example washing or rinsing fluid).
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows the basic structure of a household appliance, here in the form of a so-called washing dryer 1.
  • the washer-dryer 1 has a rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 2 in a tub laundry drum, which forms a treatment space 3 for laundry 4 to be dried.
  • the treatment room 3 is also part of a drying system, a process air blower 5, a process air circuit 6 with an electric heater 7, an air / air heat exchanger 9 and air ducts 10 in a per se, for example, from DE 10 2010 002 086 A1 (to which reference is also made) known manner comprises.
  • a sorption device 14 is arranged, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the sorption device can be particularly preferably arranged above the treatment space 3 in the housing 15 of the washer-dryer 1 and thereby optimally protected against wetting of the sorption material contained in it.
  • the FIGS. 2 to 4 show the sorption device 14 in detail.
  • the sorption device comprises an overlay region 16, in which a first air duct 18 and a second air duct 19 extend coaxially about a longitudinal axis 20. At least in sections, the outer channel wall 22 of the first air duct is in the overlapping area 18 and the inner channel wall 24 of the second air duct 19 adjacent. Between the channel walls 22 and 24, a sorbent layer 26 is introduced. As a sorbent zeolite is provided, although other suitable sorptive storage materials can be used.
  • the second air duct 19 is seen in the radial direction R outwardly bounded by an outer jacket 28, which forms the extent of the outer duct wall 29 of the second air duct 19 in the overlay region 16.
  • the inner channel wall 24 of the second air duct 19 is formed by the outer layer side 30 of the sorbent layer 26 which is covered by a mesh or sieve-like member 34 which holds the sorbent layer 26 in position or bounded on the outside.
  • the sorbent layer 26 abuts with its inner layer side 35.
  • a passageway 36 for process air 37th Die für Stammsdorfkeit can, depending on the detailed flow direction and configuration or installation position of the sorption radially or obliquely or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to the inside or in principle also to the outside.
  • the passage option is realized by openings 40 provided on the shell side, which perforate the outer duct wall 22 of the first air duct 18.
  • another mesh or sieve-like element 41 is provided, which covers the sorbent layer 26 on the inside and thus prevents undesired escape of the sorption material through the openings.
  • the sorbent layer 26 is a heating element 42 in operative contact, which is formed by a heating wire 43, with which the sorbent layer 26 on the side of its outer jacket (ie around the outer layer side 30 around) is wrapped.
  • the direct contact between the heating element 42 and the material of the sorbent layer 26 results in a particularly good heat transfer, which is particularly advantageous in a desorption phase described below.
  • the front axial region or the front end 50 of the air duct 18 is closed, while the front end 52 of the air duct 19 is open.
  • the rear end 54 of the air duct 18 is open, while the air duct 19 at its rear region or rear end 55 by movable flow-influencing elements - designed here in the form of flaps 56 - if necessary, more or less closable.

At least part of the process air 37 passes through the sorbent layer 26 and the openings 40, as described above, into the first air duct 18 and deposits moisture in the sorbent layer. In addition to the heat possibly originating from the preceding desorption phase, binding energy and, in particular, condensation enthalpy in the form of heat are thus released from the sorbent layer 26.

Because of the higher flow resistance when flowing through the sorbent layer 26, in this configuration, almost all of the inflowing process air 46 flows axially past the sorbent layer 26, so that the second air duct 19 virtually forms a complete bypass for the process air.
  • the process air can be heated alone or in addition by the heater 42.
  • the temperature of the exiting air 70 can be regulated in this case by appropriate control of the heater 42.
  • the air flow in the second air duct 19 additionally serves as heat insulation and protects surrounding components in particular against the high temperatures during the desorption phase described above.
  • the inlet temperature of the process air can be maintained at a desired temperature of, for example, 100 ° C. It is particularly advantageous that the material thickness 72 ( FIG. 4 ) of the sorbent layer 26 can be dimensioned very small, because a plurality of shell side arranged openings 40 provides a comparatively large through-flow area for the process air at the transition between the air ducts.
  • the jacket of the first air duct is preferably surrounded by, for example, only 1 to 2 cm thick layer, for example, of zeolite granules.
  • the sorption device may also have only on one side adjacent or not fully in the vicinity or contact air ducts.
  • the sorption apparatus particularly preferably consists essentially of shell-like structures, wherein the supply air (process air) is supplied through an outer air duct, which expands preferably in the manner of a diffuser 73 to form the second air duct.
  • the inner region is preferably located coaxially in the second air duct another pipe, which forms the first air duct and which is fluidly connected by the shell-side openings arranged with the outer, second air duct.
