ABSTRACT:
A heat pump using zeolite as an adsorbent wherein thermal energy from adsorbing zeolite in a one hermetically sealed space is used to heat desorbing zeolite located in another hermetically sealed space, such heat being conveyed by heat exchanger conduits containing a fluid which, before heating the desorbing zeolite, has its temperature increased to about 400.degree. F. by a gas flame, the adsorption and desorption phases being changed between the zeolites in each cycle by reversing the fluid flow in the conduits. Cooling and heating for a building or other purposes are provided through the condenser and evaporator respectively for the working gas (water) which is desorbed and adsorbed into the zeolites. A propagating temperature front is established through the fluid-to-zeolite heat exchanger conduits to provide utilization of as much as ninety percent of thermal energy available during the desorption/adsorption phases.
