Abstract
A device for heating a passenger compartment in a motor vehicle comprises a heating device for warming up an air current fed to the passenger compartment, and a sorption reactor with a sorbent such as zeolite or the like, through which at least part of the air current flows. In order to avoid misting of the vehicle windows after starting the motor vehicle, the sorptive capacity of the sorbent received in the sorption reactor is chosen such that it is adapted to the warm-up time of the heat exchanger in such a way that the air current flowing through the sorption reactor and fed directly to the passenger compartment can be dried in an uninterrupted adsorption operation until a predeterminable air-outlet temperature is reached at the heat exchanger.
