Abstract
Disclosed is a multi-staged desiccant refrigeration device which employs an evaporator combined with a multi-staged vapor desiccant/heat sink module which absorbs water vapor from the evaporator. A plurality of stage vapor desiccant/heat desiccant modules are incorporated in the device, the automatic staged opening and closing of the modules allowing for a continuous and more efficient refrigeration process.
