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 4):
The distillation system of  claim 1 , wherein a volume in the first bed is a volume defined as the sum of the volume inside the hollow tubes of the first bed plus the volume of a vapor plenum;\n wherein the third vapor valve is adapted for allowing controlled vapor flow and heat transfer between beds; wherein the volume in the first bed can be evacuated of non-condensable gases and selectively filled or drained of a volatile fluid to allow the volume to generate or condense vapor, respectively; wherein heat from adsorbent conducted through the hollow tube wall into the volume of the first bed vaporizes at least some of the volatile fluid, in which the vaporized fluid is transmitted and condensed in the volume within a second bed or to the heat exhaust at a lower temperature; and wherein alternatively, vapor generated from a second bed or the heat source at a higher temperature flows into the volume of the first bed and condenses, conducting heat out of the volume through the hollow tube wall and into adsorbent.
