DESCRIPTIVE Refrigerating and heating apparatus using a solid sorbent. This apparatus comprises at least one compartmentalized reactor (2) having solid sorbents (4) able to fix at least one refrigerating fluid and in contact with a heat exchanger (6), means for the alternative circulation of a heat transfer fluid (10) between hot (8) and cold (12) sources, by means of the exchanger, in order to create in the sorbent a temperature front passing through the compartments, a condenser (22) and an evaporator (24). The thermal conductivity and permeability of the sorbent are lower parallel to the displacement of the heat transfer fluid in the exchanger than perpendicular thereto. Gaseous refrigerating fluid circulating means (28, 32, V1 to V16) create a pressure front passing through the compartments with the temperature front. (Fig. 1)
