Patent ID: 8590153

Claim:
The method for producing an adsorption heat exchanger, comprising the following steps: producing a base heat exchanger structure; forming an adhesive layer on the base heat exchanger structure, with an adhesive being used for the adhesive layer which melts down above a first temperature and solidifies above a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature; introducing a sorbent material into the base heat exchanger structure, with the adhesive layer being solid prior to the introduction; bringing the adhesive layer to a temperature above the first temperature after the introduction of the sorbent material into the base heat exchanger structure, with the adhesive layer melting down and forming an adhesive connection with the sorbent material directly adjacent to the adhesive layer; heating the adhesive layer to a temperature above the second temperature for solidification; and removing weakly adhesive or non-adhesive portions of the sorbent material from the base heat exchanger structure.
