Abstract: The invention relates to a method for production of a layer composite, comprising a metal support substrate and a silicate layer with the following method steps: a) production of the metal support substrate, b) production of silicate crystals and/or silicate particles by means of solvothermal synthesis, said solvothermal synthesis being carried out in at least one ionic liquid and c) coating of at least one surface of the metal support substrate with the silicate crystals and/or silicate particles produced in b).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an adsorption heat exchanger, which is characterized by the following Steps: producing a heat exchanger structure; forming an adhesive layer (5) on the heat exchanger structure; filling the heat exchanger structure with a sorbent material (6.1); removing from the heat exchanger structure portions of the sorbent material that have bonded only weakly or not at all to the adhesive structure.

Abstract: A system and method for air-conditioning motor vehicles and, in particular, to an air-conditioning systems for motor vehicles having adsorption heat pumps. The apparatus includes a two adsorber chambers, each connected to a condenser and an evaporator via different connection elements; a vacuum shell for enclosing the adsorber chambers, the condenser, and the evaporator, wherein the vacuum shell is not self-supporting; and one or more adsorbers housed in the adsorber chambers, wherein the adsorbers are comprised of a carrier material coated by a sorbent. The method includes using an adsorption heat pump having one or more adsorber chambers, wherein adsorption and desorption are alternated between the adsorber chambers. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A solid sorption heat pump is provided that includes an adsorber/desorber unit including a heat exchanger and a solid sorption material. The adsorber/desorber unit is placed in a common housing, which is sealed against the outside atmosphere, together with a condenser/evaporator unit, and the adsorber/desorber unit and the condenser/evaporator unit are separated from one another by an adsorbant-permeable element. The adsorber/desorber unit includes a thermoconductive absorbent holding body, which is connected in a thermoconductive manner to the heat exchanger. The absorbant holding body holds the sorption material, and provides stability to the adsorber/desorber unit. The interior of the common housing is subjected to the action of a negative pressure.
