ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heating and/or cooling a cabin, especially a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, a sleeping cabin of a truck, or the like. To the cabin there is respectively connected an intake-air duct and a waste-air duct. The apparatus includes a sorption reactor which is filled with zeolite, or the like, and through which an air-current flows via corresponding ducts. In the adsorption phase of the reactor, the air-current takes up adsorption heat and releases moisture. After being cooled down via a humidifier, the air-current cools the intake-air current to the cabin. In addition, a heating device is provided for heating up the air current for the desorption of the reactor, the heated air current being evacuated with the moisture taken up from the sorbent. In order to provide sufficient heating capacity, even at low external temperatures, without placing a load upon the sorption reactor, the air current is selectively made to flow through the heating device into either a duct to the reactor or directly as a heating-air current to the cabin via an air current control element.
