Abstract
Adsorption heat transformation (AHT) is energy and environment saving technology that allows the effective utilization of renewable and waste heat with low-temperature potential. For the enhancement of AHT efficiency, properties of the working pair “adsorbent–adsorbate” have to be intelligently adapted to the operating conditions of the specific AHT cycle. In this work, the applicability of ATH technology in the Russian Federation (RF) was analyzed. For various geographic zones of the RF, the proper AHT application (cooling, heating, heat amplification, or storage) was selected depending on the zone climatic conditions. Data on the adsorption equilibrium for more than 40 “adsorbent–adsorbate” pairs collected from the literature were analyzed to select the most suitable pairs for the particular application/zone. Recommendations on AHT applications and the proper working pairs for the considered RF climatic zones are made.

Summary
Because of the danger posed by the ever-worsening environmental situation on the planet (global warming, depletion of fossil fuels, etc.), initiatives need to be taken to alleviate the current ambiance. The use of alternative energy sources (solar energy, geothermal, waste heat, etc.) These thermal energy sources are characterized by a significantly lower temperature potential than that achieved by burning fossil fuels, which opens up broad prospects for the use of adsorption heat transformation (AHT). AHT is an environmentally friendly technology, which allows the utilization of waste or renewable heat and reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels. The broader dissemination of AHT technology will promote the reduction of indirect emissions of greenhouse gases [2,3]. This technology is non-freon because benign liquids, such as water and alcohols, are used as working fluids. Significant progress has been achieved in AHT over the past decades [4,5]
