Abstract:
A system for distilling water is disclosed. The system comprises a heat source, and a plurality of open-cycle adsorption stages, each stage comprising a plurality of beds and an evaporator and a condenser between a first bed and a second bed, wherein each bed comprises at least two vapor valves, a plurality of hollow tubes, a plurality of channels adapted for transferring water vapor to and from at least one of the condenser or the evaporator, a thermally conductive water vapor adsorbent, and wherein each vapor valve connects a bed to either the condenser or the evaporator.

Claim (Index 1):
A distillation system, comprising:\n a plurality of operatively connected open-cycle adsorption stages, each stage comprising:\n a plurality of operatively connected beds; and \n an evaporator and a condenser operatively connected to a first bed of \n the plurality of beds and a second bed of the plurality of beds; \n a switchable heat source configured to provide heat to one of the plurality of operatively connected beds in one of the plurality of operatively connected open-cycle adsorption stages only during a first operating phase; and a switchable heat exhaust configured to remove heat from another of the plurality of operatively connected beds in one of the plurality of operatively connected open-cycle adsorption stages only during the first operating phase; wherein each bed comprises at least a first, second, and third vapor valve, at least one hollow tube, at least one channel adapted for transferring water vapor to and from at least one of the condenser or the evaporator, a thermally conductive water vapor adsorbent, and wherein the first vapor valve connects the bed to the condenser, the second vapor valve connects the bed to the evaporator, and the third vapor valve connects a volume inside the hollow tubes of the first bed with a volume inside the hollow tubes of the second bed.
