Abstract
A process and an apparatus for processing an adsorption medium which, by means of a hot gas, is freed of an agent, particularly moisture, adsorbed in the adsorption medium and is then cooled by a stream of gas or air. In order to avoid undesired heating of the exiting gas stream and/or of the drying air, a stream of cooling gas emerging from the hot adsorption medium is conducted through a heat accumulator for receiving the heat from the hot adsorption medium and then is recirculated through the adsorption medium.
