✦ Synopsis

Among sorption machines, those involving solid-gas reactions have at their disposal a particularly plentiful supply of reactive agents, whether they be ammoniates or hydrides. The possibilities of refrigeration down to -40°C or thermo-transformation up to 350°C are analysed in the case of chlorides reacting with NH 3 . The performance of these single effect machines is presented and analysed in terms of exergetic efficiency and the coefficient of performance (COP).
