<p>An apparatus for implementing a combined adsorption and absorption process which comprises an adsorber 1 which houses an adsorbent 30 (for example a zeolite Y molecular sieve) and which has means 2 for supplying heat to the adsorbent 30 from an external source, a vapour outlet in said adsorber connected by a conduit 31 to a heat exchanger 4 capable of supplying heat to the working fluid of the generator 5 of an absorber system, means 19 for transferring heat to the generator 5 from the external heat source, an expansion valve 6 connected by a conduit 32 to said heat exchanger 4, an evaporator 7 connected by this same conduit 32 to said expansion valve 6 and also connected by a conduit 35 to the adsorber 1, said absorber system comprising said generator 5 connected by a conduit 8 to a condenser 9, an expansion valve 11 connected by a conduit 40 to said condenser 9, an evaporator 7 connected by a conduit to said expansion valve 11 and an absorber 13 connected by a conduit 34 to said evaporator 7 and connected by two separate conduits 41, 42 to the generator 5, a conduit 42 having an expansion valve 15 in it.</p> |
