The invention relates to a heat exchanger having at least one sorption duct in which is arranged a sorption medium and through which a fluid can be made to flow, characterized in that the heat exchanger also contains at least one catalyst with which a fuel can be converted exothermically such that at least some of the resulting heat can be conveyed to the sorption medium. The invention also relates to a method for heating and/or conditioning a gas stream, having at least the following steps: supplying a gas stream, containing multiple different components, into a sorption duct in which is arranged a sorption medium, such that at least one component is bound in the sorption medium, and supplying and exothermically converting at least one fuel under the action of a catalyst, such that at least one component of the gas stream is expelled from the sorption medium.

Heat exchanger and method for use thereof

The invention relates to a dispersion and also to a method for coating objects, in particular heat exchanger structures, in which this dispersion is applied on a carrier structure and is crosslinked and/or made into a film with formation of a layer. Likewise, the invention relates to heat exchanger structures coated in this way. The dispersions according to the invention can likewise be used for coatings in the construction of chemical plants and also in medical technology.
