<p>A system (10) for storage and dispensing of a sorbate fluid, in which a sorbate fluid is sorptively retained on a sorbent medium (16) and desorption of sorbate fluid from the sorbent medium (16) is facilitated by inputting energy to the sorbent medium (16) including one or more or of the following energy input modes: (a) thermal energy input including inductive heating of the sorbent medium (16), resistive heating of the sorbent medium (16) and/or chemical reaction heating of the sorbent medium (16); (b) photonic energy input to the sorbent medium (16); (c) particle bombardment of the sorbent medium (16); (d) mechanical energy input to the sorbent medium (16); and (e) application of a chemical potential differential to the sorbate fluid on the sorbent medium (16).</p> |
