ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for heat and mass transfer are described using a moving gas, such as air at a constant and atmospheric pressure, to provide a continual change in a vapor-liquid equilibrium between proximate but continually changing gas and liquid temperatures within energy transferring chambers. Chamber wetting, implemented segmentedly, allows mass transfer into and from a first substance in a first chamber and a second substance in a second chamber. A forced temperature differential in each chamber causes heat transfer between chambers by means of thermally conductive petitions and by means of a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger provides for heat transfer between the first and the second substances of corresponding sectors of the first and second chambers. This heat transfer can allow condensation causing further evaporation in the corresponding chamber sector resulting in recycling of energy. Concurrent with the temperature variances, the segmented wetting can further allow wetting substance concentrations caused by evaporation, selective condensation, or absorption to vary between wetted sectors. A migratory movement connecting these wetted sectors generally provides for development of applicable concentration gradients between the wetted sectors along a chamber length.
