Claim:
1. A thermochemical system for the production of cold, comprising: a first reactive device and a second reactive device, said first reactive device comprising a first reactor and said second reactive device comprising a second reactor, each of said first reactor and said second reactor containing a reactive product; and a first reservoir and a second reservoir, each of said first reservoir and said second reservoir containing a gas; said reactive product and said gas being such that, when placed in the presence of each other a thermochemical gas absorption reaction occurs resulting in the absorption of the gas by the reactive product, and gas desorption reaction occurs when heat is applied to the reactive product when said reactive product has absorbed the gas, said thermochemical gas absorption reaction having a rate of progress, the first and second reactive devices being disposed to operate in opposite phases, so that when the reactor of the first reactive device is operating in absorption, the reactor of the second reactive device is operating in desorption, wherein the thermochemical system comprises means for determining the rate of progress of said thermochemical gas absorption reaction.
