ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for heat and mass transfer is described that is applicable to: concentration, crystallization, purification, fractionation, stripping, absorption, and/or heat exchange for liquid media; drying for solid or gel media; and temperature and humidity modification for gas media. Generally, using a moving gas, such as air at a constant and atmospheric pressure, a continual change in a vapor-liquid equilibrium is created between proximate but continually changing gas and liquid temperatures within energy transferring chambers. Chamber wetting, implemented segmentedly, allows mass transfer into and from the moving gas. A forced temperature differential in each chamber causes heat transfer between chambers by means of thermally conductive partitions. This transfer can allow condensation causing further evaporation in the opposite chamber resulting in a recycling of energy. Concurrent with 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 the chamber length.
