  • flow channel 112 may be configured for highly efficient heat and/or mass transfer across a large extent of the expanse of the flow matrix, i.e., both along the "length" of the flow channel between inlet and outlet manifolds 116, 120 and along the "width" of the flow channel in a direction perpendicular to the length.
  • flexible heat/mass exchangers made in accordance with concepts of the present disclosure, such as flexible heat/mass exchanger 100, are characterizable as "thin" structures, i.e., structures having widths and lengths much greater than their thicknesses. Minimum width:thickness and length/thickness ratios are each about 100:1 and 300:1. Examples of structures meeting this criterion are sometimes characterized as sheets and ribbons, among others. Exemplary configurations of such highly efficient configurations for flow channel 112 are presented below in connection with FIGS. 3A-C, 4, and 6A-9.
  • heat/mass exchanger 100 includes all of these features, those skilled in the art will readily understand that other embodiments of a heat/mass exchanger made in accordance with the present disclosure does not need to include all of these features, but rather may include only one or two of these features.
  • Heat/mass exchanger 100 may be conveniently described as comprising three layers, i.e., first and second outer layers 124, 128 and an intermediate layer 132 that contains flow channel 112. It is to be understood that while each of these layers 124, 128, 132 is shown in FIG. 1 as a discrete

  • heat/mass exchanger 100 could be made of a single sheet of material, and layers 124, 128, 132 in this context would correspond to "zones" within the single sheet.
  • First and second outer layers 124 and 128 may themselves comprise multiple layers of various materials.
  • some of the layers that make up the outer layers can serve as structural support, some may provide permeability to the exchanger's working fluid, and some may be present to simplify fabrication (for example by enabling bonding to the intermediate layer 132).
  • Typically commercial "membrane" materials are assembled from multiple layers, each of which performs a separate function.
  • Exemplary materials of construction for layers 124, 128, and 132 include thin flexible polymeric sheets.
  • Thin polymeric sheets provide enhanced heat and mass transfer as well as flexibility.
  • the sheets may be formed in non-planer shapes for specific applications where form- fitting heat/mass transfer area is desirable.
  • the sheets may be permeable or impermeable to the working liquid, or combinations thereof, though at least one sheet should exhibit at least partial permeability to facilitate mass transfer to or from an outer face, such as first outer face 104 or second outer face 108, of an external layer 124 or 128 respectively, of the heat/mass exchanger 100.
  • a permeable sheet may be composed of a material that is inherently impermeable but contain sufficient porosity to permit mass transfer, such as ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene).
  • a sheet may be formed from a solid hydrophilic membrane, such as urethane. Fluid may dissolve into the sheet and diffuse through the sheet material without passing through openings or other porous structures.
  • Intermediate layer 132 need not facilitate mass transfer through its solid components to an external face and so, if provided as one or more separate and distinct layers, may be manufactured from inherently permeable or inherently impermeable materials so as to promote flow of working fluid along the direction of arrows 136.
  • flow channel 112 includes interconnecting flow passageways that form a flow matrix (not explicitly shown in FIG. 1, but see 3A-C, 4, 6A-B, 7A-B, 8 and 9) formed in intermediate layer 132 that allow fluid contact with outer layers 124, 128 bounding the flow matrix, thereby permitting mass transfer to one or both of first and second outer faces 104, 108. It is noted that in the embodiments shown in FIGS.
  • the flow matrices that each provide flow channel 112 to the respective heat/mass exchanger are defined by sheets of material provided with various openings, depressions or other structures when the sheets are overlain with one another.
  • the structure of flow matrix may be provided in other ways, such as using a sheet of fibrous material formed into a three-dimensional matrix.
  • flow channel 112 may simply be a single passageway without any sort of flow matrix structure.
  • possible materials composing the heat/mass exchanger include urethane, polyimide, nylon, and others.
  • thin metal sheets can also be used to assemble intermediate layer 132. Typically, though not necessarily, the intermediate layer will have a thickness in the range 0.025 mm to 1 mm.
  • the various layers 124, 128, 132 may be made of corresponding respective sheets of material that may be cut to any shape and suitably secured to one another while engaged with a shaping form, such as a convex of concave form, or engaged in a shaping mold, such as a mold having two parts that together define a cavity that contains the heat/mass exchanger during molding.

  • Manifold 116 delivers working liquid 136 to flow channel 112 and distributes it substantially evenly across the width of the flow matrix. Because the ambient air 144 is not saturated with vapor, there is a difference in chemical potential that favors mass transfer from the working fluid to the ambient air. As working fluid 136 flows through flow channel 112, a very small fraction of fluid will transfer through the permeable outer layer 124 and enter the surrounding air 144 as vapor. Substantial heat is absorbed in this process by evaporation of the working fluid. Heat needed to drive this evaporation is drawn from the working fluid and the surrounding air.
  • the primary driving force for this process is the difference in chemical potential of the working fluid 136 between the flow channels 112 and surrounding air 144, not the difference in temperature. Therefore this cooling process can proceed even if the temperature of the surrounding air is greater than the temperature of the working fluid.
  • the remaining portion of working fluid 136 transiting through flow channel 112 passes through the outlet manifold 120 and exits the heat/mass exchanger through an outlet fluid port 142.

Comparing heat/mass exchanger 300 of FIG. 3A to diagrammatic heat/mass exchanger 100 of FIG. 1, it is seen that first and second outer sheets 304, 308 correspond, respectively, to first and second outer layers 124, 128, and first and second intermediate sheets 312, 316 together correspond to intermediate layer 132.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un échangeur de chaleur/masse constitué de couches flexibles définissant un canal d'écoulement et des surfaces extérieures. L'échangeur de chaleur/masse utilise un liquide de travail, comme de l'eau, qui est présent dans le canal d'écoulement pendant l'utilisation. L'échangeur de chaleur/masse utilise un ou plusieurs matériaux poreux et/ou perméables pour permettre l'échange de masse entre le liquide de travail dans le canal d'écoulement et l'environnement entourant l'échangeur de chaleur/masse. En mode de refroidissement, l'évaporation du liquide de travail s'effectue par le transfert de masse. En mode de déshumidification, l'humidité de l'environnement est transférée au liquide de travail grâce au transfert de masse. Selon certains modes de réalisation de la présente invention, l'échangeur de chaleur/masse est constitué de plusieurs feuilles flexibles de matériau. Un ou plusieurs échangeurs de chaleur/masse flexibles peuvent être utilisés pour former un système semi-fermé, tel qu'un système de refroidissement individuel dans une boucle de fluide caloporteur en circulation, ou un système ouvert, tel qu'un système d'hydratation individuel.
