A shaped body, particularly a
sorbent shaped body, made of microporous and mesoporous adsorbents and of composite adsorbents, which serve to store useful heat and useful cold, comprises a reduced proportion of binding agents. The
sorbent shaped bodies have non-uniformly distributed cavities in the form of vacuoles that form gap volumes, and are obtained by placing the
solid pre-mixed constituents of the shaped body onto a porous or perforated support. After adding the binding agent, the process of pre-solidifying the binding agent ensues by the action of an external force field, and this force field results in the formation of the non-uniformly distributed cavities. The proportion of binding agent on the support, which depicts the wall of the shaped body, is higher than that inside the shaped body. An optimally possible combining of the reaction
efficacy of modified alumosilicates and / or aluminum silicates with their fluidic action during the exchange of materials and heat with the aim of achieving high space-time yields while storing useful heat and useful cold is thereby achieved.
