摘要:
A system for hydrogen storage including a hydridable material associated with an amount of inert material of high heat capacity sufficient in amount to prevent, during hydriding, the temperature of the combined hydridable material-inert material from rising beyond that temperature at which the hydride of the hydridable material exhibits a hydrogen pressure equal to the partial pressure of hydrogen fed to the system. The system is insulated to inhibit heat transfer into or out of the system.

The invention is directed toward a vapor-liquid heat and/or mass exchange device that can be used in an integrated heat and/or mass transfer system. To achieve high heat and mass transfer rates, optimal temperature profiles, size reduction and performance increases, appropriately sized flow passages with microscale features, and countercurrent flow configurations between working fluid solution, vapor stream, and/or the coupling fluid in one or more functional sections of the desorber are implemented. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a desorber section utilizes a heating fluid flowing in a generally upward direction and a concentrated solution flowing in a generally downward direction with gravity countercurrent to the rising desorbed vapor stream. To further increase the efficiency of the system, various types of column configurations can be used. Additionally, the surfaces of the microchannels can be altered to better transfer heat.

A method and apparatus for the use of heat taken up at low temperature is disclosed wherein a flow of transfer medium is passed through a low temperature heat source to absorb heat. The flow then passes through multiple, sequential stages of a heat pump which successively increase in temperature whereby the flow picks up heat. The flow then releases heat to the heat receiver and subsequently passes through multiple sequential degassing stages of the heat pump. The flow releases evaporation heat and is cooled to a suitable temperature for use in the low temperature heat source. The heat pump preferably includes a two substance mixture provided within a two portion, hermetically sealed chamber.

Apparatus (10) for the evaporation of liquids or for the absorption or degassing of two-substance or multi-substance solutions of the interior tube falling film type of construction, with a pressure tank (12) through which a heat exchanging medium can pass, whose interior contains a plurality of vertical parallel tubes (22) set apart from one another which open in a bell (26; 24) placed on the bottom and on the top of the pressure tank, the upper ends of the tubes projecting above the upper side of the top place of the pressure tank. On the upper bell (24) there is provided an inlet (36) for the liquid or solution, and a connection (38) for the input or output of evaporated liquid or gaseous solution component, and on the bottom bell there is provided an outlet (34) for liquid or liquid solution.At a distance above the mouths of the tubes (22) a dividing plate (42) is inserted into the bell, which has a plurality of bores (44) of small diameter. At a distance above this dividing plate (42) an additional dividing plate is inserted into the bell (24) and the interstice formed between the two dividing plates and connected to the inlet (36) for the liquid or liquid solution component is filled with a number of vertical tubes (54) carried through perforations in the dividing plates, the said vertical tubes being aligned with the mouths of the tubes (22) passing through the pressure tank.

Countercurrent flow absorber and desorber devices are provided for use in absorption cycle refrigeration systems and thermal boosting systems. The devices have increased residence time and surface area resulting in improved heat and mass transfer characteristics. The apparatuses may be incorporated into open cycle thermal boosting systems in which steam serves both as the refrigerant vapor which is supplied to the absorber section and as the supply of heat to drive the desorber section of the system.

A refrigerator includes a main body that has a storage chamber and a drying chamber; a thermoelectric module that includes a heat absorber and a heat dissipater; a cooling fan that circulates air in the storage chamber to the heat absorber and the storage chamber; a heat-dissipating fan that blows air to the heat dissipater; an air guide that has a passage for guiding air heated by the heat dissipater to the drying chamber; a heater that is disposed in the passage; and a damper that controls a flow of air in the passage between the heat-dissipating fan and the heater. Heat of the heat dissipater transfers to the drying chamber through the passage of the air guide and the damper, thereby being able to dry an object to be dried.

Some aspects of the invention provide an air cooling system. The air cooling system may include a solar energy gathering component that drives a cooling system. The air cooling system may include an absorption cooling system or a thermoelectric cooling system. The cooling system may include a solar collector matched with an air venting system. The cooling unit may hang on the inside of a window or on another vertical surface and utilize the heat and/or radiation from the sun to activate a cooling mechanism that, in turn, provides cooling via the cooling system.
