Abstract
An apparatus () for manufacturing an adsorption heat exchanger includes a storage tank () for storing a source liquid prepared by dispersion of an adsorbent in a liquid binder, a support member () for supporting a heat exchanger main body (), and a shaft member (). The heat exchanger main body () is rotated around the shaft member () extending along the direction in which a plurality of fins () are arrayed. When the heat exchanger main body () is rotated in the source liquid, the source liquid is distributed throughout the entire area of the void between each adjacent pair of the fins () whereby the source liquid is adhered to the entire surface area of each of the fins (). On the other hand, when the heat exchanger main body () is rotated in the air, excess source liquid remaining in the void between each adjacent pair of the fins () is scattered away therefrom, and a layer of the source liquid is formed throughout the entire surface area of each of the fins ().
