[0001] Semper-Aqua BV SA-01 -WO 5688 GA Oirschot, Netherlands

[0002] Adaptive system for enthalpic mass and energy transfer. Technical field.

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of thermal and fluid-dynamic systems for controlling changes of state in gaseous media. In particular, it relates to adaptive devices and methods that enable the transfer of energy and substances under optimized energy conditions.

[0004] The technical field encompasses the design of multifunctional structures that achieve efficient modification of energy balances and material flows through thermal gradients, cyclic processes, electrochemical mechanisms, mechanically supported material flow control, and energy-induced surface modification, with potential applications in variable environmental conditions.

[0005] State of the art

[0006] In the field of thermal and fluid dynamic systems for regulating state changes in gaseous media, various approaches are known that enable the transfer of energy and matter under different environmental conditions. Conventional devices often utilize static or dynamic structures, including rotating elements driven by external energy sources, to generate thermal gradients or phase change processes. Such systems are typically based on complex cooling or heating mechanisms that require significant energy input to achieve defined states of the medium. In some cases, kinetic effects, such as forces generated by rotation, are used to accelerate or separate material flows, but this often necessitates high operating speeds or additional mechanical components.

[0007] Furthermore, approaches have been described that employ cyclic processes or mechanical elements to influence material flows, sometimes supported by porous or structured surfaces. However, these solutions often have limitations in efficiency, particularly when simultaneously controlling multiple parameters such as energy balance and material separation. Known systems also frequently require additional steps or components to utilize byproducts or minimize undesirable side effects, increasing complexity and operating costs. Methods that utilize electrochemical or energetic influences to modify the properties of surfaces or media are also known. However, such techniques are generally limited to specific applications and rarely achieve an optimal combination of minimal energy consumption and multifunctional performance.Overall, a challenge remains in the state of the art: to develop systems that guarantee high efficiency under variable conditions while simultaneously simplifying process design.

[0076] Description of exemplary implementations

[0077] First example:

[0078] One embodiment of the adaptive system according to the invention comprises a cyclically operated support surface made of a thin, resistant material with an area of ​​approximately 0.048 square meters. This support surface is arranged in a closed loop around two rotating elements, which have a diameter of approximately 50 millimeters and are moved at a speed of approximately 20 revolutions per minute. The temperature-controlled heat sink is integrated into the rotating elements and uses a thermoelectric arrangement to bring the support surface to a temperature in the range of 0 to 5 degrees Celsius in the first phase.

[0079] In the second phase, the support surface detaches from the rotating elements and interacts with a gaseous medium at approximately 20 degrees Celsius and in an energy state near its saturation limit. Due to local energy feedback, the temperature of the support surface rises to approximately 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, during which a phase transition occurs, generating mass flows of about 3 to 4 grams per revolution.

[0080] In the third phase, the substrate is exposed to a radiation source operating at a low-energy wavelength to optimize the surface properties. Simultaneously, the electrochemical system is activated by generating charges through the movement of the substrate relative to a charged grid, further modifying the material flows or the medium. The generated charges can be provided mechanically through friction or, alternatively, by an electronic voltage source, depending on the desired design.

[0081] In the fourth phase, a fixed mechanical device removes the accumulated material streams from the support surface, transferring them to a collection area that allows a yield of approximately 7 to 14 liters per hour. In the fifth phase, the support surface is prepared to an initial state through a two-stage process: First, the unchanged medium flows over the support surface at approximately 20 degrees Celsius, followed by a return flow of the modified medium at approximately 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, which lowers the temperature of the support surface to approximately 8 to 10 degrees Celsius.

[0082] The closed energy flow is achieved by the thermoelectric arrangement, whose heat-emitting side raises the processed medium to a temperature of approximately 20 to 35 degrees Celsius, while the total energy consumption of the system is between 25 and 35 watts. This embodiment is designed to operate efficiently under variable environmental conditions, such as those found in tropical or humid climates, and to achieve a high yield with minimal energy consumption. Second embodiment:

[0083] In an alternative embodiment, the support surface consists of a photocatalytically active material with an area of ​​approximately 0.060 square meters and a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters. The rotating elements have a diameter of approximately 60 millimeters and move at a speed of approximately 15 revolutions per minute. The temperature-controlled heat sink uses a similar thermoelectric arrangement, but in the first phase, it brings the support surface to a temperature of approximately 2 to 7 degrees Celsius.

[0084] In the second phase, the support surface interacts with a medium at approximately 25 degrees Celsius, with local energy feedback raising the temperature to approximately 10 to 12 degrees Celsius and generating material flows of approximately 4 to 5 grams per revolution.

[0085] In the third phase, the substrate is exposed to a radiation source that optimizes the surface structure for increased interaction, while the electrochemical system provides charges via an electronically controlled voltage source.

[0086] The mechanical separation in the fourth phase achieves a yield of approximately 9 to 16 liters per hour.

[0087] The fifth phase uses a return current at approximately 12 to 14 degrees Celsius to heat the substrate to about 10 degrees Celsius. The energy consumption is approximately 30 to 40 watts, with the heat dissipation side heating the medium to approximately 25 to 40 degrees Celsius. This design is particularly suitable for environments with increased temperature and density variations.

[0088] Third example:

[0089] In another embodiment, the system includes a support surface made of a thermally conductive material with a square base of approximately 40 by 40 millimeters. In the first phase, the support surface is temporarily brought into contact with a temperature-controlled heat sink, which, via an electronically controlled thermoelectric unit, generates a temperature difference and brings the support surface to a state below a critical threshold. Once this state is reached, the support surface is separated from the heat sink. In the second phase, the support surface is transferred to a first flow region, where it is exposed to a radiation source that modifies its surface properties and functions as part of an electrochemical system by being connected to a voltage source.The gaseous medium that is transferred through this flow area is first modified by a charge generation device, which intensifies the interaction with the support surface and results in increased mass flows.

[0090] In the third phase, after sufficient accumulation of the material flows, these are separated from the support surface by a mechanical device and transferred to a collection area.

[0091] In the fourth phase, the carrier surface is transferred to a second flow region through which unchanged medium flows to return it to an initial energy state. The closed energy flow is achieved by passing the processed medium from the first flow region past the heat dissipation side of the thermoelectric unit, resulting in an output temperature of approximately 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. The energy consumption of this design is in the range of approximately 20 to 30 watts, and it is particularly suitable for compact, high-efficiency applications under moderate ambient conditions.

[0102] B Heat sink (14) in thermal contact with further part (12a) of the support surface (12)Fig. 1 shows in a highly schematic form a device (or system) 10 according to the invention for thermal regulation of changes of state in a gaseous medium M.

[0103] The device 10 includes a support surface 12 which interacts with a heat sink 14. The support surface 12 and the heat sink 14 are movable relative to each other in a cyclic relative motion R.

[0104] A chamber (not shown) of the device 10 is filled with a gaseous medium M, the gaseous phase g of which is in contact with the support surface 12.

[0105] The heat sink 14 is designed to extract energy from at least one sub-area 12a of the support surface 12 in a phase of the cycle in order to bring at least this sub-area 12a of the support surface 12 to a state below a critical threshold value of the gaseous medium M, so that the support surface 12, after losing thermal contact with the heat sink 14, causes an interaction with the medium M that promotes a phase transition (g / f) from a gaseous state (g) to a liquid state (f).

[0106] The schematically represented support surface 12 can be, for example, a continuously circulating belt, a static support plate, a rotating support plate or a rotating support roller.

[0107] In Fig. 1 A, it can be seen that the heat sink 14 is close to a first sub-area 12a of the support surface 12 and is therefore in thermal contact with this first sub-area 12a.

[0108] This relative arrangement of heat sink 14 and support surface 12 during a phase of cyclic relative motion R causes heat to flow from the support surface 12 into the heat sink 14, thereby reducing the surface temperature of the support surface 12, at least in the first sub-area 12a, below the critical threshold (e.g. condensation temperature) of the gaseous medium M.

[0109] After the heat sink 14 has been moved away from the support surface 12 in a further phase of the cyclic relative motion R (not shown) and the support surface 12 with the cooled section 12a has been moved further within the device 10 (according to the arrow pointing to the right), a phase change g / f of the gaseous medium M is triggered in the cooled section 12a. In Fig. IB, the result of this phase change g / f can be seen in the form of an accumulation of liquid phase f or condensed liquid in the section 12a of the support surface 12.

[0110] Furthermore, it can be seen that the heat sink 14 is close to another sub-area 12a of the support surface 12 and is therefore in thermal contact with this further sub-area 12a. The phase change g / f described with reference to Fig. 1 A is repeated in this further sub-area 12a in the gaseous medium M.

[0111] The liquid phase f or condensed liquid accumulated on the sub-areas 12a of the support surface 12 by phase change g / f (or condensation) can be removed and collected from the support surface 12 by suitable means.

[0112] The removal of the condensed liquid can be achieved through frictional forces or drag forces (e.g. wipers or airflow) or through inertial forces (e.g. vibration or rotation).
