Abstract
A thermal energy collector, intended for a system such as a cooling system of the solar type whose mode of operation includes a phase consisting of adsorption of a fluid by a given material and a subsequent desorption phase, comprises a compartment having an upper surface to be exposed to a source of thermal energy and a bottom surface to be connected to a duct joining the compartment to the aforementioned system, with the adsorptive-desorptive material being placed between these surfaces. To increase the efficiency of the adsorptive-desorptive material, a space is provided between the material and the bottom surface of the compartment, with a supporting layer containing openings being placed beneath the material in order to hold it in place against the upper surface.
