The present invention is directed to a sorber cooling device suitable for use in an electromagnetic wave activated sorption system. One embodiment of the sorber cooling device has a metallic tubular enclosure extending coaxially into the sorber, a plurality of fins connected to a portion of the tubular enclosure extending outside of the sorber, a reservoir in fluid communication with the tubular enclosure, and a wick located within the portion of the tubular enclosure extending into the sorber. A refrigerant which is placed in the cooling device is drawn by the wick into the portion of the tubular enclosure extending into the sorber. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the sorber and evaporates. The evaporated refrigerant is condensed in the portion of the tubular enclosure extending outside of the sorber and the heat of condensation is dissipated by the fins. The condensed refrigerant is collected in the reservoir. This cycle repeats automatically.

1. A system, comprising:a sorber; a sorbent disposed within the sorber, wherein the sorbent reversibly interacts with a sorbate during use to form a sorbate/sorbent compound; an electromagnetic wave generator configured to generate electromagnetic waves during use, wherein the electromagnetic wave generator is coupled to the sorber such that the generated electromagnetic waves propagate through the sorber to desorb at least a portion of the sorbate from the sorbate/sorbent compound during use; a reservoir, wherein a refrigerant is disposed in the reservoir; and a first end of a hollow tube coupled to the reservoir, wherein a second end of the hollow tube is coupled to the sorber, and wherein the hollow tube is configured to transport the refrigerant from the reservoir to the sorber during use such that at least a portion of the transported refrigerant evaporates to cool the sorber.
