Abstract

Thermal regeneration of charged solid adsorption material by passing a heated gaseous regeneration medium therethrough. Regeneration is combined with a heat pump in which a cooling medium flows in a cooling medium circuit by propelling means which directs the cooling medium in heated condition to a condenser of a first heat exchanger of the heat pump and then to a vaporizer of a second heat exchanger of the heat pump. The gaseous regeneration medium is heated prior to entrance to the adsorption material by passing it through the first heat exchanger, and the discharged regeneration medium and desorbate are cooled by passing through the second heat exchanger.
