An adsorber includes: a heat-medium pipe through which a heat medium flows; an adsorbent layer having an adsorbent that adsorbs a vapor-phase refrigerant located outside the heat-medium pipe by being cooled by the heat medium, and further desorbs the adsorbed refrigerant by being heated; and a heat-transfer member that transfers heat between the heat-medium pipe and the adsorbent. In the adsorber in which the heat-transfer member and the adsorbent are integrally formed, an adsorbent filling ratio is set at 70% or less when the adsorbent filling ratio is defined as a value obtained by dividing a filling density of the adsorbent filled in the adsorbent layer by a true density abs of particles of the adsorbent. For example, the adsorber may be suitably used for an adsorption refrigerator.

The present invention relates to a novel split level sorption refrigeration system. In particular, the present invention provides a split level sorption based unit as a novel method of using the traditional sorption based refrigeration unit. The present invention offers orientation free configuration with efficient cooling power delivery to the various cooling load locations which is achieved by splitting the evaporator of the sorption chiller from the sorption beds and the condenser.

The invention relates to a renewable power and/or water generator with an absorption heat transformer (AHT) providing a heat pump, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for generating power, and a coupling between the AHT and the ORC to regenerate ORC rejection heat. The AHT consists of a low pressure evaporator and a vapour absorption binary (VAB) reactor that forms the coupling between the AHT and ORC. The VAB reactor includes an absorption section with an absorber heat exchanger and a distillation section provided by a rotating centrifugal unit that includes a flooded rotating packed bed.

An adsorber for a vehicle is provided. The adsorber includes a housing, in which a sorbent is arranged for storing heat and for dispensing stored heat. The adsorber also includes a heat exchanger which is arranged within the housing, has a wall that encloses a cavity for conducting a heating medium, and has an outer surface that contacts the sorbent for exchanging heat. By virtue of a special design of the heat exchanger, the sorbent and the arrangement thereof relative to each other, a particularly high power density and heat storage capacity are achieved. A method for producing the adsorber and a vehicle which has an adsorption system including such an adsorber are also provided.
