Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a cooling system, in which a cooling agent is prepared in a reservoir of an evaporator device () of a single- or multi-stage sorption cooling system, a fluid to be cooled is cooled by having a heat exchanger of the evaporator device () effect a cooling heat transfer from the fluid to be cooled to the cooling agent for cooling purposes, and the cooling heat transfer causes the cooling agent to at least partially evaporate on the heat exchanger, and the evaporated cooling agent is relayed to a liquefier device (), wherein the cooling heat transfer is improved by conveying external thermal energy provided by an external heat source () to the cooling agent, specifically in addition to and separately from the cooling heat transfer, and thereby initiating bubble formation that supports cooling heat transfer in the cooling agent in the reservoir, specifically by inducing bubble formation in conjunction with supplying the external thermal energy or intensifying bubble formation triggered by the cooling heat transfer. In addition, the invention relates to a cooling system in single- or multi-state configuration.
