Title: Innovations by Lena Schnabel
Introduction
Lena Schnabel is a prominent inventor based in Freiburg, Germany. She has made significant contributions to the field of heat transfer technology, holding 2 patents that showcase her innovative approach to engineering solutions.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is a heat transfer device having channels. This invention relates to a heat transfer device designed with channels for heat-absorbing and heat-emitting media. At least one of the channels features a textile structure with both compressed and non-compressed regions. The compressed regions are strategically placed in the transition areas between the channels to enhance heat transfer to or across the channel wall. In contrast, the non-compressed regions are located in the flow areas of the channels. This design allows for substantial heat transfer to the heat transfer surface while maintaining effective heat conduction from the surface to the separating surface. Additionally, her invention includes heat exchangers that utilize such heat transfer devices.
Another notable patent is the adsorption heat pump with a heat accumulator. This system comprises an adsorption heat pump featuring at least one adsorber and one heat accumulator, along with a method for operating the pump. The system is equipped with a heat source that provides heat for desorption at temperatures higher than those achievable through previous adsorption cycles in the heat accumulator. The heat accumulator is designed to store heat at various temperature levels simultaneously. Heat released during adsorption, which is not intended for later desorption, is dissipated to a heat sink. Conversely, the heat meant for later desorption is stored in the heat accumulator at a temperature dependent on the adsorption temperature, allowing for desorption heat to be extracted at a desired temperature.
