Apparatus for carrying out a combined absorption and adsorption process comprising an adsorber (1) housing adsorbent (30) (e.g. 13x zeolite molecular sieve) and having means (2) for supplying heat to the adsorbent (30) from an external source, a vapor outlet in said adsorber connected by conduit (31) to a heat exchanger (4) capable of supplying heat to the working fluid of the generator (5) of an absorber system, means (19) for transferring heat to the generator (5) from the external source of heat, an expansion valve (6) connected by conduit (32) to said heat exchanger (4), an evaporator (7) connected by conduit (32) to said expansion valve (6) and also connected by conduit (35) to the adsorber (1), said absorber system comprising said generator (5) connected by conduit (8) to a condenser (9), an expansion valve (11) connected by conduit (40) to said condenser (9), an evaporator (7) connected by conduit to said expansion valve (11) and an absorber (13) connected by conduit (34) to said evaporator (7) and connected by two separate conduits (41, 42) to the generator (5), one conduit (42) having an expansion valve (15) therein.
