1. A device comprising:
a heat exchanger, through which a working medium flows; and
a distributing device for a sorption agent, which is configured to dispense the sorption agent on a heat exchange surface of the heat exchanger in a refrigerant environment, such that the sorption agent, which forms a working pair with a refrigerant,
at least partially absorbs the refrigerant from the refrigerant environment, and in doing so emits released heat to the heat exchanger, or
at least partially desorbs the refrigerant from the sorption agent in an environment of the sorption agent, and in doing so absorbs heat from the heat exchanger,
wherein the distributing device has a jet device, which is configured to emit the sorption agent on the heat exchange surface in the form of one or several rays, and in so doing generate turbulent flows of the sorption agent on the heat exchange surface, and wherein the jet device is configured to emit the sorption agent on the heat exchange surface at an emission speed of about 3 m/s to about 15 m/s,
wherein the emission speed exceeds a speed that arises from a dead weight pressure of the sorption agent in the jet device and a gravitational acceleration when the sorption agent hits the heat exchange surface.
