Abstract

A sorption device for use in a cooling plant consists of a plurality of elongated sorption containers, which along part of their length are filled with sorbents, and in this part constitute a digester adsorber zone, and where the other part of their length constitutes a condensor evaporator zone. The sorption containers rotate in two coaxial housings on a circular path, and with the digester adsorber element (16) they are disposed in the one housing (11), and with the condensor evaporator element (30) in the other housing. The housing (11) enclosing the condensor adsorber elements (16) only has one inlet (13) and one outlet (14) for the gaseous heat transfer medium, so that on its flow path through the housing the heat transfer medium both withdraws heat from the digester adsorber elements (16) and supplies heat thereto. The arrangement ensures a particularly favorable energetic efficiency. When the device is used as air cooling device in air-conditioning systems a drying of the air to be cooled can be effected, utilizing the heat dissipated from the condensor evaporator region.
