ADSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DEMINERALIZED WATER ABOARD A MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEMINERALIZED WATER ABOARD A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

An adsorption system (4) for the production of demineralized water aboard a motor vehicle comprising: a condenser (8), an evaporator (12, a first and a second adsorbent bed (16,20), each containing adsorbent material, wherein each adsorbent bed (16,20) is selectively connectable to the condenser (8) and/or the evaporator (12) by pipes (28) provided with at least one control valve (32). Each adsorbent bed (16,20) is selectively and alternately connectable to a supply circuit of a heating source (36) and to a supply circuit of a cooling source (40) by means of supply valves (44), wherein the condenser (8) is directly and selectively connectable to the evaporator (12) by a direct branch (52) provided with a relative throttle valve (56), Advantageously, the system (4) comprises an inlet valve (60) arranged along an air inlet branch (64), adapted to selectively establish a fluid connection between the air of the environment outside the system (4) and said adsorbent beds (16,20), so as to capture water from the external air through an adsorption phenomenon performed by said adsorbent beds (16,20) and to produce water by means of the adsorption phenomenon.
