The article deals with design and construction of solar adsorption cooling device and with heat transfer problem in adsorber. The most important part of adsorption cooling system is adsorber/desorber containing adsorbent. Zeolith (adsorbent) type was chosen for its high adsorption capacity, like a coolant was used water. In adsorber/desorber occur, at heating of adsorbent, to heat transfer from heat change medium to the adsorbent. The time required for heating of adsorber filling is very important, because on it depend flexibility of cooling system. Zeolith has a large thermal resistance, therefore it had to be adapted the design and construction of adsorber. As the best shows the tube type of adsorber with double coat construction. By this construction is ensured thin layer of adsorbent and heating is quick in all volume of adsorbent. The process of heat transfer was experimentally measured, but for comparison simulated in ANSYS, too.

Human life is inextricably linked to the generation of waste, whether at the municipal or industrial sphere. Waste is an important source of secondary raw materials and stored energy, which nowadays is advantageous to use. The most suitable way of waste recovery is its recycling and reuse. The share of waste that is unsuitable for recycling for various reasons is high, it currently exceeds the processing capacity of the Slovak Republic and is therefore deposited in landfills. The energy stored mainly in chemical bonds is therefore not used. The share of energy stored in this way is considerable, and its use would help not only in the field of rational waste management, but also in the field of power industry. The simplest way of energy recovery of waste is its direct combustion, more complex technologies are its gasification and pyrolysis. All technologies are called as Waste to Energy systems. Combustion of waste releases stored chemical energy, which is converted into heat, which is used for the production of electricity and heating. The products of gasification and pyrolysis are gaseous and liquid fuels that can be directly used in heat sources for the production of electricity and heat for heating, but also as an input material for the creation of high-grade fuels and for the chemical industry. The article deals with the conceptual design of a small facility for the recovery of waste, especially plastics, from the automotive industry and sorted municipal waste. The concept discusses the technical possibilities of preparing the input material, the technical ways of using it by gasification or pyrolysis, and the possibilities of using the resulting products of processing plastic waste. The assumptions for the design of a small waste recovery facility are verified on an experimental pyrolysis waste treatment device, the article contains the results of laboratory pyrolytic waste treatment and the properties of the resulting products.

The car is now a consumer product and its use has significantly decreased over the last decades. According to the sources of the Ministry of the Internal Affairs of the Slovak Republic, is to 31 January 2020 registered 3.286.258 motor vehicles and of which 2.395.362 are passenger cars, which means that per slovak citizen there is something below 0.5 of passenger vehicle. Used passenger cars make up the largest part of the car waste. This paper deals with how the waste from cars after their lifecycle in currently operating energy facilities.
