摘要 |
The invention relates to a sorption trap (30) for the storage of thermal energy which is cost effectively mass produced. The sorption trap (30) is comprised of a hermetically sealed evacuated collector (31) in which a sorption material, an adsorber (33) with an adsorbate and a condenser (34) are arranged. When heat is delivered to the adsorber (33), the adsorbate, consisting preferably of water, is desorbed from the sorption material, consisting preferably of silicon gel. The resulting water vapor reaches the condenser (34) where it condenses and the released condensation heat is delivered to a heat sink. During the discharge of the sorption trap (30), the condensate is delivered to a vaporizer (34) and the resulting water vapor is delivered to the adsorber (33). The heat released during adsorption is delivered to a heat sink. |
