A phase change material (PCM) heat exchanger device comprising heat exchanger cells (,) operating on the regenerative countercurrent principle, one or more phase change material (PCM) accumulators () provided in the heat exchanger cells and one or more vortex tubes (). When the directions of the air, gas and liquid flows are cyclically reversed in the apparatus, energy is recovered into the heat exchanger cell and the PCM accumulator, and during the subsequent cycle, the energy is released from the heat exchanger cell and PCM accumulator. While one heat exchanger cell and PCM accumulator is being charged, the other heat exchanger cell and PCM accumulator is simultaneously discharged. Warm air exits a first outlet port while cold air exits a second outlet port of the one or more vortex tubes. The fluid flows heat or cool the heat exchanger cells and associated PCM accumulators.

Phase change material heat exchanger

The invention relates to an air condition device consisting of recovery cells (), an inlet () and exhaust ducts () leading to and from a room, an inlet () and exhaust ducts () located at the other end of the device and leading to and from the outdoor air, the air flows in the air conditioning device being controlled by means of rotating deflectors (). The deflectors () consist of baffles fixed to different control axes () and rotating about their axes, the air openings () provided in the deflectors being located altematingly at the same recovery cell (), where the air flow directions are reversed periodically.
