In diploma thesis, we modified and refurbished an existing demonstration adsorption device to make it suitable for the educational process. For this purpose, we produced the necessary components and replaced the worn-out ones. Based on literature, we selected the silica gel/water pair for the adsorption cooling. During the operation of the device, we measured the pressure and temperature in the chambers, and we adapted the NI LabVIEW computer interface to display the results. During the measurements, we made the findings that improved the operation of the device, and we also managed to compile the data into a Clapeyron diagram and calculate the COP of the measurements. For the purposes of regeneration, we developed a control system for the input of electrical energy as the necessary heat for regeneration in the system. To facilitate operation, we created a short user manual for the device.
