Merits of AQSOA™ Adsorption Heat Pump

Evaporation
Sprayed water evaporate on the pipes, in which water flow, in a vacuumed evaporator. And the water in the pipe is cooled by latent heat of evaporation.
AQSOA adsorption heat pump produce cold water.
Adsorption
AQSOA® coated heat exchanger adsorbs vapor from the evaporator.
Desorption
Hot water in the pipes regenerate AQSOA® on the heat exchanger. And the vapor transfer to the condenser.
Condensation
Vapor from the AQSOA® coated heat exchanger condenses on the pipes cooled by cooling water. Condensed water flow back to the evaporator.
