Superabsorbent and heat pump: what they have in common
- Step 1. Superabsorbent — uses — Capillary action. Absorption.
- Step 2. Capillary action — is used in — Heat pipe. The liquid returns along the wick by capillary action.
- Step 3. Heat pipe — uses — Latent heat. Evaporation and condensation.
- Step 4. Latent heat — is used in — Vapour-compression cycle. The evaporation of the refrigerant produces cold.
- Step 5. Vapour-compression cycle — is used in — Heat pump. The same cycle as in a refrigerator.
