A method and device for the drying of gas whereof a main flow (14) is passed through a drying zone of a regenerative moisture exchanger having a body (10) containing a bed of absorbent material. The bed is regenerated in a regenerating zone (26b, 26c) wherein a regenerant gas (18), heated outside said body, is passed through the bed counter-current to the main flow (14). After passing through the bed of the moisture exchanger (10) the regenerant gas is recirculated, without passing back through the bed, and is caused, after further heating (34) to pass through the bed via at least one further regenerating zone (26a, 26b).

Method for drying gas and device for the implementation thereof

Device for a contactor (10) for liquid and gas, e.g. for use in cooling towers and the like, such contactor being built up of mutually spaced membranes (12, 14) forming ducts for the passage of a fluid introduced at the top of the contactor and collected in a trough or channels below the membranes. In order to be able to collect the liquid passing through the contactor immediately beneath the lower surface of the latter, thereby reducing the pumping height without appreciably affecting the flow conditions of the air passing through the contactor, the contactor (10) is provided with surfaces to carry of the liquid which are inclined at an angle relative to the horizontal and are connected to at least one collecting channel or trough (16), these surfaces serving to carry the liquid passing out of the contactor into the collecting channel (FIG. 1).

Device for contactors for use in cooling towers and the like

A supply device for use in an evaporative contact body of the multi-layer type having gaps between the layers of the body to which water is supplied from above comprises water supply pipes having outlet openings formed therein. The pipes are in direct contact with the top of the contact body or may be embedded therein, and the pipe openings are located to direct water jets directly inside the gaps between the layers of the contact body.

Supply device for use with evaporative contact bodies

A device for use with heat exchangers for the transfer of sensible and latent heat between a gaseous and liquid medium is provided. The device includes a first set of narrower passageways defined between at least two corrugated foils to receive the liquid medium, and a second set of wider passageways to receive the gaseous medium. The surfaces of the foils defining the narrow liquid passageways have closely spaced fine ridges which cross the corrugations. These fine ridges cause flow resistance and result in the liquid medium in the liquid passageways being distributed over the entire surface area of the foils defining the liquid passageways, thus enhancing heat transfer. Furthermore, because the ridges tend to rigidify the foils defining the liquid passageways, these foils can be formed from a relatively thin material, thus further enhancing heat transfer between the liquid and the gas mediums.

Device for use in connection with heat exchangers for the transfer of

A method of producing a sorption body is disclosed in which a plurality of sheets of asbestos paper are formed from a fiber pulp having molecular sieves placed therein. The sheets are arranged in contact with one another at spaced points to form transectional channels therebetween for the media which are to pass through the body, with the sheets supporting each other. The assembled sheets are subjected to an increase in temperature sufficient to drive off the organic binding agents present in the paper and to break down the asbestos fiber to a powdery consistency.

Method of producing sorption bodies

Method of manufacturing a heat exchanger body composed of a plurality of facially-opposed corrugated rectangular sheets of a deformable material with corrugations in alternate sheets crossing the corrugations in the intervening sheets and forming a series of channels through which two streams of gaseous medium are forced crosswise in heat exchange relationship with one another. The juxtaposed edges of the sheets are displaced so that the edges on the same side of the body are alternately sealed and form openings therebetween for admission of the gaseous media into the channels. The edges of the corrugated sheets, prior to being assembled into a heat exchange body, are pressed flat, with flat edges at two of the opposite sides extending substantially in the same plane and the contiguous flat edges at the other two opposite sides being displaced relative to the plane of the first two opposite edges.
