Abstract

The base modules (1) consist of electrodes (2) separated by membranes (3). Polar plates (10) are located between the base modules and include cavities (11) which contain a refrigerant at a low pressure of about 480 mbars and operates in partly dual state. The cavities are connected (14,15) to a condenser (20) which may be fan assisted and circulation is by thermal-siphoning
