Abstract

A thermodynamic machine for the absorption and emission of heat at different temperatures has at least one thermodynamic device with at least one membrane separating a gas phase and a liquid phase provided for transport of heat, wherein the at least one membrane is permeable for at least one component contained in the gas and liquid phases. The at least one membrane is a porous membrane or a solution diffusion membrane or a modification of the porous membrane or a modification of the solution diffusion membrane.
