Abstract: A system and a thermochemical method for the production of cold, that uses a reactive device having a reactor or a chamber for storing a reactive product that can absorb a gas. The reactive product and the gas are such that, when they are exposed to one another, they undergo a reaction resulting in absorption of the gas by the reactive product and, conversely, they undergo a reaction involving the desorption of the gas absorbed by the reactive product as a result of heat applied to the reactive product when it absorbed the gas. The system has two substantially identical reactive devices wherein when the reactor of one reactive device is operating in the absorption cycle, the reactor of the other is operating in the desorption cycle. The system has a mechanism for determining the progress rate of the thermochemical reaction.

Abstract: A method for changing a temperature of the interior volume of a thermally insulated space to a preset temperature and maintaining it at the preset temperature using two thermochemical systems which can be connected to an external energy source. The reactor of one of the systems is heated until fully regenerated, while the other system keeps the temperature at the preset temperature; when the reactor is fully regenerated, the system comprising the regenerated reactor is used to maintain the preset temperature and the reactor of the other system is heated to regenerate it as long as it is connected to the external energy source.
