2138772 9400721 PCTABS00030 Apparatus and process are disclosed for sorption heat pumping at high efficiency in a smooth and continuous manner using a multiplicity of intermittent cycle triplex sorption module (24). The hermetically sealed trisorption modules each of which contains at least two solid sorbents (21, 22, 23) are free of pumps, valves, restrictors, or any similar devices for flow control of refrigerant or sorbent. The preferred refrigerant is ammonia and the preferred sorbents are the solid type with monovariant equilibrium, e.g., BaCl2, SrCl2, CaCl2, MnCl2, FeCl2 and SrBr2. The apparatus is readily adapted for residential or small-scale commercial space-conditioning applications, and operates at double-effect efficiency in both the heating and cooling modes without inter-module heat transfert. The invention extends to the construction details of the apparatus comprises of a rotary member plus internal fixed structure, including the application of that construction in cycles other than trisorption, for example disorption and quadrisorption cycles.
