The scheme of calculating the "pressure-concentration-temperature" diagrams with reference to a wide range of hydride-forming materials in determining the thermodynamic characteristics of sorption-type hydrogen heat-pump installations is presented. The schematic diagram and operating principle of a three-adsorber refrigerator with a complex activated carbon fiber-alkali salts sorbent are described. This sorbent has a large cold holding capacity and a high rate of sorption. Experimental data attest to the high efficiency of the apparatus. The means of extraction of the low-temperature heat of soil and rocks for useful utilization are considered. The efficiency of the Clausius-Rankine cycle exploited in the operation of electric and thermoelectric power stations with various organic working fluids has been determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
