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.
A heat exchanger having at least one sorption duct, in which a sorbent is arranged and through which a fluid can flow, wherein the heat exchanger also contains at least one catalyst, by means of which a fuel can be reacted exothermically such that at least some of the resulting heat can be supplied to the sorbent.
A method for heating or conditioning a gas stream, comprising the steps of:
