Abstract
The invention relates to refrigeration at TU by a reversible sorption system.The installation comprises a reactor (1) in which a reversible sorption between a gas G and a sorbent S takes place, a device (2) in which a reversible phenomenon involving the gas G takes place, means for bringing (2) into communication with (1), and means for isolating them, the equilibrium curve for the reversible phenomenon in (2) lying within a lower temperature range than that of the equilibrium curve for the reversible sorption in (1) in the Clausius-Clapeyron plot. The device (2) contains, apart from the gas G, a liquid/solid phase change material M having a solidification temperature TS below the frigeration working temperature TU.Use for freezing various products or for producing chilled water or ice.
