Abstract
Method of managing a solid/gas adsorption or thermochemical reaction, the site of which is a device comprising a reactor, which contains a solid capable of reacting with a gas, an evaporator/condenser assembly for the gas and means intended to reheat the solid, the method comprising the steps which consist in: PA1 bringing the evaporator/condenser assembly, when the latter is filled with liquid, into communication with the reactor so as to cool the evaporator, PA1 switching on the means intended to reheat the solid, so as to deliver the gas to the evaporator/condenser assembly. According to the invention, the step of switching on the means intended to reheat the solid starts before the previous step has finished.
