Abstract
An adsorption heat pump includes: a first evaporator that evaporates a first fluid; a condenser that condenses the first fluid; a heater; and a rotary adsorption device. The rotary adsorption device includes: partitioning portions that radially partition a space encircling the rotation axis into plural regions, that each include a flow path for internally retaining and discharging a second fluid, and that each include an adsorbent on an outer surface thereof or on a wall surface of the flow path; and a pair of closure portions that close off both ends, in the direction of the rotation axis, of the plural regions. Each of the partitioning portions is moved alternately between the first evaporator side and the condenser side by rotation around the rotation axis. In the partitioning portions, retention and discharge of the first fluid, and discharge and retention of the second fluid, are repeated.
