Abstract
A sorber for an electro-desorption compressor comprises a first plate which includes a first outer surface and a first inner surface generally parallel to the first outer surface, a second plate which includes a second outer surface and a second inner surface generally parallel to the second outer surface, a device for securing the first plate to the second plate to thereby form an enclosure for a sorbent between the first and second inner surfaces, and at least one first support spar which is attached to the first outer surface and which is aligned in a first direction along the first plate. In this manner, the first support spar increases the resistance of the first plate to bending in the first direction.
