Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010004302A1] A method and apparatus for absorbing heat and releasing heat at a later time is described in which a zeolite molecular sieve (8) is heated in a container to drive out water vapour. The zeolite molecular sieve to allowed to cool creating a vacuum in the container through the re-absorption into the zeolite molecular sieve any water vapour remaining in the container. Further water vapour is drawn into the zeolite molecular sieve to release heat as the water vapour combines with the zeolite. The invention has a number of applications including a heat storage device, as part as a cooling system and a water purification and / or desalination system. Heating is achieved by a number of means, electrical, (13) solar and inductive heating described.
