ADSORPTION CELL FOR AN ADSORPTION COMPRESSOR AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF

摘要

The invention is directed to an adsorption cell suitable for a thermal wave operated adsorption compressor comprising: an elongated solid adsorption material; an elongated heat transfer fluid (HTF) channel in direct heat transferring contact with the outside surface of the solid adsorption material, wherein the characteristic dimension r (e.g. the radius) and the length L of said adsorption material are chosen such that L/r>10, more preferably larger than 15, most preferably larger than 20.
