lecture: 25.4.2018, Hannover Messe, Hall 2, CAU booth C07
time: 2:30 pm & 5:00 pm
language: English
with week exhibit


The synthesis , up-scaling and application of a new porous material named CAU-10 will be presented, which can be used for air-conditioning, e.g. in adsorption heat pumps. The discovery and up-scaling were carried out at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, and in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Freiburg it was shown that CAU-10 is ideal for energy-efficient use in cooling processes. Energy sources can include low energy waste heat (e.g. district heating, geothermal, etc.), which otherwise would remain unused, or solar energy. For certain cooling applications, it was demonstrated that CAU-10 is the world's best material available. 

Topics of the presentation include the environmentally-friendly production, the up-scaling of synthesis, and the application of these and similar materials for cooling, in adsorption heat pumps, for air dehumidification or for water extraction. The presentation also addresses the aspect of cost estimation, as well as the underlying functional principles, and provides a comparison with other methods.
