Abstract: A shaped body, particularly a sorbent shaped body, made of microporous and mesoporous adsorbents and of composite adsorbents is provided for, which shaped body employs a reduced proportion of binding agents. The binding agent added to the shaped body solidifies under the application of force, under which force non-uniformly distributed cavities are formed. The proportion of binding agent on the support forming the wall of the shaped body is higher than the proportion of binding agent inside the shaped body. By using modified alumosilicates and/or aluminum silicates with fluidic action during materials exchange and heat exchange, the shaped body provides for high space-time yields while storing heat and cold.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorbent moulded body, a method for production and use thereof, comprising micro- or meso-porous adsorbents. The moulded bodies serve as process heat and refrigeration sources, whereby a vapour working medium is expelled from the moulded body by the introduction of heat energy and optionally condensed and the working medium, optionally previously vaporised, is absorbed in gaseous form. The moulded body comprises crystalline powder and/or granules together with a conducting surface within a cage, connected to the surface and the powder and/or granules are bonded by the binder in the form of a random bed.
