[Uhf desorption of carbon dioxide from zeolite in physical/chemical human life support systems].
Experimental tests showed that volumetric no-contact immediate SHF heating (a resonating chamber for approx. 30 liter with a 500 W generator operating at 2450 Hz) makes possible to desorb carbon dioxide from zeolite and to extract water from silica gel within a short time. The process included air pre-dehydration with silica gel and concurrent heating of carbon dioxide and water adsorbents. Simplicity of the SHF energy lead-in is an obvious advantage in the context of intensification and flexible control of regenerative technologies offering the challenge for designing components of adaptive (self-adjusting) life support systems.
