Abstract The sorption/Joule-Thomson cycle is a promising cycle for microscale cooling of low-temperature electronic devices because the cycle lacks moving parts. This facilitates scaling down to small sizes, eliminates interferences, and contributes to achieving a long life time. A thermodynamic analysis is presented in which the behaviour of compressor and cold stage are analysed separately, leading to a better understanding of sorption coolers. Some fundamental possibilities to improve the thermodynamic efficiency are discussed, and as a part of this a novel two stage compressor concept is proposed.
