Abstract
According to certain embodiments, an adsorption heat exchanger (AdHEX) part is provided. The AdHEX part comprises a linear guiding element, and a plurality of planar structures that include fins. Each of the planar structures is: mounted on the linear guiding element via a joint element, the joint element configured to cooperate with the linear guiding element to form a slider joint, coated with an adsorbent coating, and fixed on the linear guiding element, at a respective position, by a fixing means that restricts linear sliding movement of each of the planar structures to form an arrangement of coated planar structures that are stacked along the linear guiding element.
