Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations 11 and channels 3, 4 and 5 for gas or a low temperature for liquids on a dry side and wet side. Fluid streams 1 flow across the dry side 9, transferring heat to the plate. Gas stream 2 flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels 5 on wet side 10, which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate. A wicking material provides wetting of wet side. In other embodiments, a desiccant wheel may be used to dehumidify the gas, air streams may be recirculated, feeder wicks 13 and a pump may be used to bring water from a water reservoir, and fans may be used to either force or induce a draft. The wicking material may be cellulose, organic fibers, organic based fibers, polyester, polypropylene, carbon-based fibers, silicon based fibers, fiberglass, or combinations of them. The device may be operated in winter months to scavenge heat from exhaust gases of a space and thus pre-heat fresh air, while simultaneously humidifying the fresh air.

Abstract: A method and device refrigerate a fluid by adding a volatile liquid mist to a flow of a gas to saturate the gas with vapor of the volatile liquid, to cause a large amount of misty minute liquid drops of the volatile liquid to float in the gas and to form a cooling gas. The cooling gas is directed through a first flow passage of a heat exchanger having first and second flow passages. The fluid to be refrigerated is directed through the second flow passage of the heat exchanger, so that heat from the fluid is transferred to the cooling gas, while the cooling gas passes through the first flow passage of the heat exchanger to elevate the temperature of the cooling gas. A portion of the minute liquid drops floating in the cooling gas are allowed to vaporize due to the elevated temperature of the cooling gas. The temperature of the cooling gas is continuously lowered by the heat of vaporization of the vaporizing minute liquid drops. The fluid passing through the heat exchanger is thus continuously refrigerated with the cooling gas having the continuously lowered temperature.

Abstract: A moisture control unit is made up of a body which is partitioned by a partition wall into a plurality of chambers. A dehumidifying opening is provided in a chamber and a humidifying opening is provided in a chamber. A moisture absorption rotor is rotatably provided in the chambers and a heater provided in one of the chambers adjacent to the moisture absorption rotor for evaporating water which is absorbed by the moisture absorption rotor. A part of the moisture absorption rotor which absorbs moisture from air is made heavy to thereby rotate downward from the weight of water while a part of the moisture absorption rotor which is heated by a heater and from which water is evaporated is made light to thereby rotate upward. As a result, the moisture control rotor can rotate by itself without needing a rotary driving source. The moisture control unit has a simplified structure, can be easily miniaturized and installed at a low cost without needing piping.

Abstract: A vapor exchange medium comprises a multiplicity of porous desiccant particles and a binder holding the particles together to form a solid shape. The binder includes a multiplicity of substantially spherical, covalently-bonded silica particles derived from a silica sol which are small enough to ensure sufficient covalent bonding of the silica particles to maintain the structural integrity of the vapor exchange medium, yet large enough relative to the pore size of the desiccant particles such that the silica particles do not materially adversely affect the adsorption properties of the desiccant particles. The vapor exchange medium may be impregnated into a fibrous carrier to form a heat exchange element or device. A method and apparatus for making a heat exchange device or element for air conditioning are also disclosed.

Abstract: A vapor extraction apparatus includes a gel sorbent capable of absorbing vapor directly into the liquid state and capable of disgorging the absorbed liquid in a phase-transition. The apparatus includes a housing adapted for movement from a first position, where it is exposed to a vapor-containing gas stream and a first environmental condition, and capable of moving to a second position, where it is exposed to a second environmental condition. A gel sorbent is disposed on at least one surface of the housing. The gel sorbs vapor from the gas stream as liquid when the sorbent is in its first position. The sorbent disgorges the liquid during phase-transition collapse when it is in the second position. A method of extracting vapor from a process gas stream includes contacting a phase transition gel sorbent with vapor under conditions sufficient for the gel sorbent to undergo a phase transition and absorb vapor as liquid inside the gel sorbent. The gel sorbent is then exposed to conditions sufficient for it to undergo a phase transition and disgorge the liquid from inside the gel sorbent. The disgorged liquid is removed from the gel sorbent.
