    摘要: A vehicle in which waste heat from the vehicle power unit is used to drive a water absorption cycle and a process for combined cooling of a power unit (300) and absorbing water in a vehicle. The gist of the invention lies in the feature that the absorbent and the coolant for the power unit are chosen independently from one another from a specific group of ionic liquids, which allows to make use of their potential as coolant and absorbent, and concomitantly allows to fine-tune the respective composition and concentration for each requirement. The device and the process according to the invention can be implemented in the context of a vehicle, wherein the waste heat from the motor or battery is used to dehumidify air. Alternatively, the waste heat is used to drive an absorption refrigeration machine that is used to cool the inside of the vehicle or other vehicle components.
