An apparatus for providing a heating or cooling output through chemical absorption (or chemisorption). The apparatus comprises a cylindrical housing (10) having a coaxial array (11) of a plurality of absorbent containing thermal elements (12), extending to the walls of the housing (10) and adapted for rotation therein. In particular, this invention relates to a new vehicle air cooling system using waste heat from the vehicle's engine to drive the chemisorption cooling cycle. The invention also makes use of dry chemical absorbent materials which have high heats of reaction representing high levels of cooling energy, and provides a compact, low-demand system design. |
