Abstract:
1. A device for condensing water from a first process gas in the form of water vapor or a gas containing water vapor, comprising: a container having a first opening, a second opening and a third opening; and a heat transfer zone arranged in an interior of the container, wherein the heat transfer zone comprises a bulk material layer and/or a fiber layer and/or a textile layer and/or a grid layer and/or a lattice layer and/or a perforated plate, wherein the interior of the container is subdivided by the heat transfer zone into a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first opening leads into the first zone and the second and third openings lead into the second zone, wherein the heat transfer zone has at least in sections an open porosity and/or channels through which the first process gas can flow from the first zone to the second zone and through which a second process gas in the form of cooling gas can flow in a reverse direction, and wherein a permeable region of the heat transfer zone partially comprises materials which have a thermal conductivity of more than 20 W(mK)
