Verfahren, das umfasst: während eines Kaltstarts eines Fahrzeugmotors Öffnen eines zwischen einen ersten, ein Adsorbens enthaltenden Behälter und einen zweiten, ein Adsorbat enthaltenden Behälter gekoppelten ersten Ventils, Zirkulieren eines ersten Fluids durch eine erste Leitung, die mit einem ersten, in dem ersten Behälter befindlichen Wärmetauscher und einem zweiten, außerhalb des es ersten Behälters befindlichen Wärmetauscher gekoppelt ist, und Zirkulieren eines zweiten Fluids durch eine zweite Leitung, die mit dem zweiten Wärmetauscher gekoppelt ist. Auf diese Weise kann während eines Kaltstarts in dem Adsorber Wärme erzeugt und anschließend zu dem Kühlmantel des Fahrzeugmotors und/oder anderen Fahrzeugbereichen übertragen werden, wodurch die Vorwärmzeit des Motors vermindert wird. A method, comprising during a vehicle engine cold start, opening a first valve coupled between a first container containing an adsorbent and a second container containing an adsorbate, circulating a first fluid through a first conduit coupled to a first heat exchanger located within the first container and a second heat exchanger located outside the first container, and circulating a second fluid through a second conduit coupled to the second heat exchanger. In this way, heat may be generated at the adsorber during a cold start and subsequently transferred to the cooling jacket of the vehicle engine and/or other vehicle compartments, thereby decreasing the warm-up time for the engine.
