SORPTION SYSTEMS HAVING IMPROVED CYCLE TIMES

摘要

The present invention relates to process modifications and apparatus designs that are conducive towards minimizing temperature swings (ΔΤ) useful to yield operating pressures that provide work and/or refrigeration (e.g., electricity and/or refrigeration) in sorption systems. Such process modifications and designs are particularly suited to make use of waste heat an industrial process, (e.g., a chemical processing or petrochemical refining operation) in which low grade heat source(s) are used to drive the sorption system.
